Striking that the only reply in this thread which refers to actual data is the one which is downvoted. More than a political issue, for many, mask-wearing has taken on something like religious significance.

Does it? It's a link to a Substack article with some numbers, but no actual data. Not even the links or names of the papers and articles. At first I thought it was a stylistic choice, but the author does link his own whitepaper from the Cato institute.

There's also a thought experiment, which is convenient, since the outcome is open to everyone's interpretation. But it's not actual data.
