    They absolutely do not say that medical and cloth masks do not prevent or protect.

    Yiu cannot privilege one study that proves that those types of masks do.

    LOL Even your own statement "They do catch the larger droplets associated with coughing" acknowledges that masks reduce risk! You need to look up the definition of "reduce risk".

    Each of every study in centrefield's list concluded that masks reduce risk of infection to various degrees. Notice the little bar sliders? You are delusional

    Still waiting for you to explain what killed the excess deaths From All Causes of 340,000 people this year - was there a massive increase in suicides or murders?

    Reduce the risk of what?
    Not one demonstrates decreased incidence of disease, the only "risk" that matters.

    Would you use a condom that stopped ~ 10%? Continuous use of condoms which are 10% effective will not reduce pregnancies.

    There have not been 340,000 excess deaths in the US this year.

    Despite the politically motivated removal of the truth by John's Hopkins - practically none.

    No where in my paragraph did I mention the virus. So I ask again, how many excess deaths From All Causes have there been?

    Using actual CDC data
    2019 Deaths from ALL CAUSES = 2736393
    2020 Deaths from ALL CAUSES = 3073009
    https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6

    LOL at you using a link that has already been stated as being wrong by Briand herself and produced by a student who did not know what he was writing about

    That statement was made due to political "cancel culture" pressure.

    There has been no increase the the annualized death rates in the demographic which is the most at risk to covid. That is the subject of the thread. If no increase in the death rate for the group (> 70 years of age) which has the claimed >90% of the covid deaths then these covid deaths are not due to covid.

    Oh, so those 340,000 excess deaths from ALL CAUSES must have occurred in the under 70s. Is that what you are saying? That is a lot of suicides!

    So I ask again, what did those 340,000 excess deaths from ALL CAUSES die from?

    They are not the result of Covid-19.

    I’m only interested in COVID-19 fatalities.

    If the high risk age group which accounts for 90% of the “Covid” fatalities has no excess deaths then any excess deaths are not attributable to Covid-19.

    Where are these excess deaths coming from?

    The high risk group is where the majority of the 340,000 excess deaths are!

    There has been no increase in the death rate in that group.

    Was your BIL wearing a mask when he was in the truck?

    The post you responded to is complete speculation. Notice the missing piece of information - did the guy who is claimed to not wear a mask test positive?
