It's not my job to prove anything. I am not the one making the claim masks work or lockdowns work. People who want to force society to comply with all this are the ones who need to offer substantial and overwhelming evidence that any of this works to a degree that justifies the immense social costs. That means way more than a few of cherry picked papers that say "masks work" (while ignoring ones that don't like the danish mask study).
I don't have to prove anything. It bothers me immensely that people think its the skeptics job to somehow prove that what we are doing doesn't work. That isn't how science works. Extraordinary claims (eg: lockdowns work to a degree that justifies their costs) require extraordinary evidence.
