There's a difference between "mask mandates aren't making a difference" and "masks aren't effective." Take a look at Japan, where the government has done fuck all to deal with the virus, but people wear their masks.

OK: ” A record 7,841 new coronavirus cases were reported in Japan as of 8 p.m. on Friday. The nationwide daily tally has set a record for a fourth day in a row.”

That’s some fantastic evidence that masks don’t work.

Le sigh. Just because infections are increasing does not mean masks don't work. Tell me, what would the numbers be without masks?
