The globalists want everybody injected with whatever they see fit on demand, with social privileges and citizenship rights tied to carried identification proving that you have been inoculated. it has nothing to do with disease prevention any more.

“Every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months at a minimum — every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing," Biden declared.
Am I missing something here?
That was a decision made on generic data.
I'll take the datascientist over the naturopath.
Common sense can only answer easy questions
Obesity rates have skyrocketed since they removed lead from gasoline. Those things are a coincidence
Now, there have been lots of studies on the spread of the coronavirus. When you have an open mind, new information sometimes leads to a different result.
Side note: I made about 5 or 6 posts in the last two days, and none of them were personal or inflammatory. I think two of the posts were removed, and now my posts go into moderation. I don't know if there is a genuine interest in a viewpoint outside of the bubble here. If so, this is a curious way to get it.
The most important reason is that there were few outbreaks back in April
Not a reason, but an obvious piece of contrary evidence: After massive outdoor BLM protests with masks in liberal cities, CV cases did not spike in those cities. Instead, they spiked in southern locations filled with people who refuse to wear masks and think/though the CV was a hoax.

Our country is in a shitty place right now due to lack of coordinated effort, which is due to failed/no national leadership. We still have wildly differing opinions from the top on down, so there is little chance of improvement in the near term.
Ferguson's study shows that millions (over a million in US, anyway) would die if everybody continued to live as normal. That's useful information, and it was never proven wrong.
I'm not a link monkey

In late March in GA, cases were doubling every 3 to 7 days, much like the rest of the country. The lockdown slowed it and turned things around. GA opened up too early (according to the CDC guidelines), and the virus started spreading again. The growth rate never got back up to doubling every 3-7 days, but it did spike pretty high after opening too early.
What is preventing it from spiking again in NYC? It's not due to herd immunity, because not enough people have been infected to allow NYC to return to normal.

It's a big social engineering problem that could be solved with effective leadership and communication.
Plus, people need instructions on wearing a mask. It might seem unnecessary, but a quick look around at people failing to do it right shows the opposite. The importance of messaging was also known back in March when people were considering mask recommendations. It would be nice if someone in charge could get the message out.
When you drive, you ideally wear a seat belt, have an airbag, stay alert, stay sober, avoid excessive speeding, and avoid distractions. You aren't supposed to say, 'I have an airbag, so I'm not doing those other things!'
N95 masks and higher if properly worn and disposed do protect the wearer to a significant degree, but you can't wear them for a prolonged time.
I'm going to look up the some of the studies I've read recently (I should save this shit, lol). So I'm not going to shoot you down immediately, but I've read (not opinion pieces either, studies) that even N-95 masks don't protect against this virus. I know for certain that I've yet to see a study where an N-95 for sure protects you from Covid.
They don't protect for sure as they still let 5% in, plus the size of virions may be just below the filters.

And this is the standard for health professionals (I know you meant microns FYI). Yet we're supposed to cut up t-shirts and strap them to our face? It makes zero sense to an intelligent person. And I agree, there is a certain percentage of blockage and protection, but at the end of the day it's minimal at best and most likely useless. We've literally shut down mass gatherings everywhere and we're still seeing an uptick WITH exponentially more mask wearing. They don't work. There's no other data or evidence I've seen showing otherwise.
The problem is the mask pushers would have to admit we're testing at a substantially high level. That would mean Trump is doing it right. So they focus on the fact we have more cases and voluntarily omit the fact we're testing more than...
Yeah Trump did it right and the mask pushers are in the wrong, any outdoor mask wearing mandate should have been struck down immediately as unconstitutional and cops should voice to never supports such bullshit.
Just last week, the Netherlands announced it would not be instituting a face mask mandate, arguing that research shows social distancing rules prove more effective at combating the virus than masks.
“Because from a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for wearing non-medical masks,” The Netherlands’ Minister for Medical Care Tamara van Ark said.
Decades of science are not wrong. They just don't necessarily apply to a new virus. Plus, data scientists looking at generic (non-coronavirus 19) data back in March concluded that masks would be helpful. Fauci was reconsidering masks at that time. I'll take the data scientist over the naturopath.

And on and on, many scientific papers.
