      I could say the same. Go back a couple millennia and you'd be partaking in ritualistic sacrifice to ward off the evil spirits. I'm curious why you'd pollute the discussion by making such an empty comment though. Why won't you engage with any sense of rigor? It comes off poorly.

      I think you said that you would not wear a mask on day one of a deadly pandemic, no matter how many experts say it probably helps, because there would be no proof (or possibility of proof) initially. Did I get that right?

      No, you didn't get that right. It is true that I don't believe in believing smth just b/c an expert said it tho. Although, you seem to be using some schrodinger's cat logic here. You started this discussion by scoffing at the opinion of these experts:https://aapsonline.org/mask-facts/

      Let's keep this simple. There are no studies on Coronavirus transmission and masks, but most experts agree it probably helps more than it hurts, for very obvious reasons. No matter how many studies of OTHER THINGS you send me, it doesn't change those facts.

      There is a randomized controlled trial of self-infection, which is a type of transmission. I agree transmission to others is not studied because it can't feasibly be studied, and yet you recommend unfalsifiable policies all the same. I think that's a big source of our disagreemn

      I recommend good risk-management. We don't make ANY decisions with adequate data. This is no different. Doing nothing is a decision too, and can't be supported by any reason or data.

      Right, but when you are making a decision for a society-wide policy prescription, when the body of prior data suggests that such a prescription is a bad idea, you are performing bad risk management by advocating that policy. Face masks aren't new. They're well studied for ILI.

      On balance, I literally think doing nothing would have been a far better policy approach. It follows simply from the fact that SARS-2 is a zoonotic highly infectious respiratory virus and therefore impossible to eradicate, so some form of pop. immunity has to set in eventually

      Because vaccines won't work?

      I was already addressing that but to bite on this specifically, go back in time to April 2020 and a successful vaccine was not a guarantee. And even if successful it could have taken years more. I wrote about this months ago: https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-04-29-the_case_for_ending_lockdown/#containment … (Will quote in reply tweet)

      But if you had been correct (as Trump was) that vaccines could come sooner, or therapeutics might be quickly found, postponing herd infection made sense. And now you can see you would have been catastrophically wrong.
