#3 sort of a misdirection

face masks don't prevent the spread, they slow the spread

so instead of, say, 900,000 dying, 700,000 dying

because some people got vaccinated before they would have otherwise been infected and died

#4 I should probably add that the masks may also have reduced flu deaths but increased suicides from depression and also probably increased fentanyl and other opioid overdose deaths.

Doing the arithmetic for this is pretty depressing.

#5 Currently after vaccine reinfection rates far more lethal. Permanently impaired auto-immune host. In my area a late forty fellow got his vaccine late afternoon. He was in perfect health. Then at 2AM he experienced a heart attack. Then to hospital where he experienced three more heart attacks and was declared brain dead. Autopsy showed cause of death blood clots. He had received the J&J vaccine. His wife being a ICU or CCU nurse was able to get the vaccine early as with her husband. She suffered no ill effects.

89 year old woman who's son was in charge of care was bypassed by her physician and was given the vaccine. Son was quite perturbed. Physician wanted to prescribe highly addictive pain killer medicine but son declined the suggestion. Son requested medical marijuana route as that is his treatment for severe episodes of pain from a car accident years ago with necessary spinal fusion. So now she just requested that treatment course of action.

#6 More to #3: The Dallas Morning News reported on the front page this morning that 'health officials' credit the use of face masks and social distancing for the great reduction in influenza cases.

My wife posited that theory a month ago, to which I replied, "Then why don't those measures work on COVID?"

I guess I'll have to read the newspaper article to see how they explained it.
