Masks work. I haven't even had a head cold in 2 years, and I'm not alone in that. This feels like when Windows advocates say something about how Linux doesn't do X or is slow doing X, and it's just wrong. Personal experience says exactly the opposite.

Saying that masks did nothing real makes everything else you wrote suspect.

Sounds like they work for colds then. But frankly we’ve probably all had COVID whether masked, vaxed on not.

The world had essentially no influenza season, 2020. This isn't just the US, it was everywhere. Some strain(s) may have gone extinct: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-021-00642-4

Let's see, masks work against rhinovirus, influenza virus, and they magically don't work for (also respiratory) COVID? Doubt it.

What possible evidence do you have for this "all had COVID" assertion? The biggest estimate I could find was 140 million in the USA: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/02/28/covid-cases...
