That's of course wayyy oversimplified. There are many more differences between those places than just masking culture. You can't come to a conclusion without evaluating all the other factors.
This is exactly the kind of pseudoscience argument people pull in that muddies the water (on both sides of the debate)
- oneshtein 2y agoThis is not a scientific argument (correlation is not causation), but it's an argument supported by numbers, not just words. If we look at scientific studies, they also confirm the some effectiveness of masks in reducing the risk of influenza or COVID-19 infection and mortality. One study on mice, I saw, showed that antiviral-coated masks increase the likelihood of developing immunity to infection BEFORE the infection, because fragments of dead viruses enter the lungs and trigger an immune reaction.
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah I'm not saying that masks don't help. Just that these numbers don't prove that. There's so many more cultural and medical differences.
