Considering that all the data shows that the deaths may have been 10 times greater without them I suspect that you are wrong.
In all the countries that took no action the amount of people who died was much greater.
Even in Australia the amount of covid deaths has steeply increased from the day that the mandate for masks was removed.
back before the Mandate was removed the Australian average per week death rate was zero with some weeks of one.
The Current death rate on the 14th was 29 deaths that day with a weekly average of 15.
The difference is Masks and distancing.
Australia was going along with three or four thousand deaths before we opened up again, we are now at 15,000 deaths.
That is a 400% increase in covid deaths since we re opened, since we removed the mask mandate.
Nobody seems to care.
It seems strange that if mask mandates did nothing then why did the deaths start to increase the day that the mandate was removed? As of 25th Jan. 2020-20th Oct.2022(999 days), there have been 10.3M cases and 15.5K Australians dying from/with Covid-19. If we assume that everyone died ONLY because of the virus(no other comorbidities), that would still be a mortality rate of 0.15%. Or, a 99.85% survival rate.
This also means that on average, 15.5 people have died from/with Covid-19 in Australia, each day since the beginning of this pandemic. This represents only 0.00006% of the Australian population each day. By the end of March(2020) there were only 34 deaths(5,687 cases).
Before vaccines were available(Feb22, 2021), there were 999 deaths(28,930 cases). So what do these stats tell me?
Between Jan 2020 and the end of March(
before lockdowns and mandates), there were fewer cases and deaths. Between the end of March until Feb 2021(before vaccines, but with mandates), there was 29 times more people dying, and 5 times more cases. After vaccines were introduced(and up to today), there was 15.5 times more people dying, and 356 times more cases. Clearly man is not stopping the spread of this virus.
Conclusion? We were better off sticking to educating the public, ,and simply treating the disease. Instead of trying to destroy our own country. This virus is less lethal than the Measles. It has a survival rate of over 98%. And a mortality rate that has never been above 0.1%. The only thing that matters is the condition of our immune system. There is nothing that man can do, that will stop anyone from being infected by any virus. NO vaccine can prevent any virus from entering your body.
Unless masks are tailor-made to fit your face perfectly(or taped), it can't seal your eyes and nose. You can breathe through the sides of the mask. Plus the virus can also enter your eyes. People also take off their masks to eat and drink. Viral particles can linger in the air for up to an hour, and on surfaces for even longer.
I think you have leapt to the wrong conclusions.
There is a HUGE amount of misinformation around about covid.
The countries and states in the US that are most vaccinated have the fewer deaths.
Masks have been used for many decades to stop/slow infection rates of aerosol borne diseases.
Have a good day.
