> 3 times as many ILIs Compared to surgical masks. There was no study of unmasked people. I expect it would be 10x. > The observed mechanisms may lead to more severe symptoms in individuals with impaired capacity for myocardial compensation. The study was only on N95 masks! Most people are wearing surgical or cloth, it's irrelevant. > I am talking about how the all sources of information systematically downplay the negative effects and serious side effects of masks. There appear to be very few, similar to how all sources downplay the negative effects of walking on the sidewalk vs walking in the road. I would be a lot more sympathetic if you targeted your ire at "washing down surfaces", because that seems irrelevant with respect to spread. But masks work, and that's the long and short of it.
