 FUCK YOU I WAS RIGHT!

New findings reported Tuesday in a University of Louisville study challenge what has been the prevailing belief that mask mandates are necessary to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. The study notes that "80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic" and while "mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima)." Among other things, the study—conducted using data from the CDC covering multiple seasons—reports that "mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states."

Masks do not work, they never worked, four-plus decades of science already showed that they never worked, and the only thing mandating masks did was turn even more of this country into mindless sheep.

Anyone who said that masks would slow the spread is either too stupid to be allowed to speak publicly, or deliberately lying to you.
