- charlieo88 6y agoDo you have evidence that masks are ineffective in reducing the transmission of influenza?
- mariodiana 6y agoIn science, as in logic, the onus of proof is on the positive.
- charlieo88 6y agoYour implication being your question is based in logic or scientific curiosity, and not some disingenuous politics.
- mariodiana 6y agoYour ad hominem concedes the argument.
