You can spare me having to read the Lancet article by telling me whether it showed the effects of 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 or of 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴. Because if it's the latter that leaves the possibility that the former is actually effective.

Annals of Internal Medicine around December 2020 reported a Danish study with 6000 subjects that found no statistically significant difference between masked and unmasked.

Accurate or not, it shows it is at least plausible that masks are inefective.

Sweden, under the leadership of its chief epidemiologist Dr Anders Tegnell, had no lockdowns, no school closures, no mask mandates and actually few masks in evidence, yet had 1400 deaths per million, vs 1800 in France and 2600 in the US.

Reason enough not to censor this debate
