> Those Asian cultures have a different epidemic curve not due to mask wearing, but because a totally different social structure, prior experience concerning epidemics, preparedness, attitude towards authority & emergency measures and other factors. So it's a fallacy of cherry picking to say that it's 'because they wear masks and all our authorities are wrong'.
And you’re not cherry-picking because what exactly?
- ampersandy 7y agoPointing out that there are a huge number of other factors that influence the spread of COVID-19 in each country is not cherry-picking, it's highlighting that you can't simply look at said graph and say "it's because they wear masks."
- oefrha 7y agoSaying the difference is due to other factors but “not due to mask wearing” is cherry-picking everything else other than mask wearing.
