Its difficult to argue that out when you believe in what's being told over what the people experience
If the science say only N95 work one day and them says any masks works the next and the people show it does not
You say it works because Science
its could be raining out if they say its sunny you say its sunny because science
so we will agree to disagree
It's actually not hard to argue against it. You're using anecdotal evidence (what people say) vs empirical evidence (which is measured and quantified)
Empirical evidence is objective, anecdotal is subjective. It can help as a support, but it can't be taken at face value for public health policy, because it isn't objective information.
So it's not that I don't appreciate what some people experience.. it's that the actual causation isn't what people think it is..
For example, people use VAERS to say people die because of the vaccine. However, VAERS reports all deaths in which the person takes the vaccine, regardless of WHY they die. Correlation, person died and had a vaccine, isn't the same as causation, someone died because of the vaccine.
Again, concerning mask, the objective matters. You're saying, carte blanche, that masks don't work.
That's not true.
If you want to say that masks don't help ME getting COVID, cool. However, masks DO help with transmission, but not for ME.. but in the event that I have COVID and don't want to transmit it to others.
Objective information, within public health policy, should always override subjective info when it conflicts.
