Masks lower the probability of transmission.

So does distancing, quick testing and isolation, etc.

The end.

Answer my question: when will you admit you were wrong? After a million are dead, or isn't that enough? You'll just say tens of millions would have died even though that's ridiculous. One scientific fact we DO know is that the survival rate for people who contract the virus is well over 99%. Yet you ignore that fact in favor of promoting your religious belief that masks protect people from COVID 19.

Really, you and all the mask cultists should be ashamed of what you've done and continue to do to the country.
I am not wrong.

Recently in Oklahoma, the Broken Arrow City Council unanimously dropped a mask mandate proposal after many unmasked people spoke out against it. https://www.soonerpolitics.org/edito...ndate-proposal

So let's compare some figures to see if having no city mask mandate is smart policy. I'm afraid is isn't:

Norman pop. 124,880, positive cases 11,385, deaths 102

Broken Arrow pop. 110,198, positive cases 12846, deaths 106 (No mask mandate ever.)

Norman was one of the first cities in Oklahoma to require masks. Required mask wear started there in mid July. An attempt by petition to get rid of the Norman mayor by recall vote was unsuccessful. A similar attempt to recall the Stillwater City Council, including the mayor over masks and other covid restrictions was also unsuccessful.

You want us to take your word for it?
If anything, because you said it, it should be rejected; not the other way around. Especially considering the way that you've acted on this thread.

The numbers you post completely disprove the position you're defending. Mandating masks has made NO statistically significant difference between the number of cases and the number of deaths in Norman versus the number of cases and deaths in Broken Arrow.

If you're going to even deny the numbers, then that's just silly. Too bad how nobody can put up numbers, which show that a smaller city with NO mask mandate has lower rates of positive cases and deaths than a bigger city that does.

This thread is done. There have been too many posts that have nothing to do with masks and vitamins so there must be nothing more to say on the topic. Staying on topic isn't hard. Try it.
