> This is politically unacceptable and only good news is permitted about masks and vaccines and so forth. Groupthink is the only think. I'm sorry you feel that way, VLM. I'm a proponent for masks from first principles, and am more than willing to update my priors when good data is presented. The stillbirth rate is definitely concerning. COVID-19 increase to the stillbirth rate is also concerning. Right now, causality of COVID-19 is observed, and mask-induced CO2 poisoning is hypothesized in relation to COVID-19 adjacent populations. By a way of inviting mindful conversation: the key for not falling down the rabbit hole of thinking everyone else but myself is a sheep is recognizing that people can have opinions, data can be biased, and we must strive for rigor. Works like a charm and I highly recommend it.
