Masks work.
The graphs prove it if you learn how to read one. Having read through this whole thread of 90% opinion I've seen little to no mention of infection rate.
Without masks the infection rate would've rose drastically. Try comparing your graphs with areas their was no mask mandate and compare the curve. The R rate explodes without masks or lock downs.
As for the small crowd claiming all diseases are mighty morphing power rangers? Get a grip.
Y'all claim nonsense about PCR testing too, considering how PCR works you'd see the same results from families of 'power rangers' because dna doesn't evolve like that. It's like claiming a caterpillar isn't a butterfly and that they share no genetic traits nor dna. A caterpillar isn't a butterfly... Yet. I know one thing though, it doesn't alter its dna and become literally another lifeform.
Seems many others were barely educated like I was. It's a dangerous thing when you can consume information without the commonsense to watch what you eat. Please keep your diets to yourself.

A virus is not a living thing. You can’t “kill” what’s not alive.

A friend of mine is a treating doctor and she got COVID from a patient. Both wearing masks. Less than 5 minute exposure time.
Repeat after me: correlation is not causation.

It's a good job you're not a scientist if you think that's "proof"
It's physically impossible for a mask *NOT* to reduce infection rates.

But masks don't work according to the OP so wood dust, paint thinners and metal dust will still get into you. All those workers are idiots and a threat to our constitution....decades ago but no one said anything then.
You posted a bunch of graphs showing mandated use of masks with an upsurge of covid cases after the mandates were in effect.
Also, you are arguing from ignorance because you have no idea if the number of cases would have been different if masks were not mandated, which means you can't really say if they did something or didn't do jack.
