> Sweden seems to agree with you and against general use of masks, although my trust in their approach is limited by their pretty terrible results: death rate of nearly 600/M against HK's 12/M.
No matter how often I say "I'm not against masks", people still read it is "this guy is against masks", merely because I question the quality of the scientific evidence. No sane discussion on this topic is possible anymore, it's all "which side are you on, boy?", which is disheartening.
> That's not saying it doesn't or can't happen but while you emphasise a lack of evidence to convince you that masks are worthwhile at scale, there is even less evidence that wearing a mask will cause any other type of hurt that would cancel-out the benefits.
I literally said I don't need more evidence in favor of masks. It's not about masks, it's about Vitamin D in light of our treatment of masks. I don't need more evidence in favor of Vitamin-D supplementation, either. Go for it, just be honest about it.

No sane discussion on this topic is possible anymore, it's all "which side are you on, boy?", which is disheartening. You've said you're against advocating mask usage. We are arguing that although there could certainly be more and better evidence, that there is more than sufficient evidence to advocate for their widespread usage.
