Normally, you'd expect people demanding awkward and massive social change to show evidence that it works and isn't dangerous. You should not invert this by demanding people prove things don't work and aren't dangerous; that way lies madness. But at any rate, we can see for ourselves how great an impact those mask mandates had: https://rationalground.com/mask-charts/ https://rationalground.com/mask-charts/ https://swprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/france-masks-cases2-e1600240628130.jpg https://swprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/france-masks-ca... https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/29/these-12-graphs-show-mask-mandates-do-nothing-to-stop-covid/ https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/29/these-12-graphs-show-ma... Mask mandates don't seem to be associated with any impact on the graphs of positive test results, anywhere. If they don't work then they should not be used for all kinds of reasons, dangerousness is by no means the only factor that should determine decisions. Consider also cost, impact on the environment, choking hazards, comfort, psychological distress created by the appearance of fear and so on. But as some of the writing on this acknowledges, masks long ago became purely political, so we should expect people to keep arguing from different assumptions and not agreeing.
