TO THE EDITOR:

As a rebuttal to Mr. Wittwer's letter last week!

Who are you calling an Idiot?

Your method of persuasion leaves much to be desired.  If you think masks work to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and that these government lockdowns are legal/moral/effective, you should try and convince me instead of calling me names.  Your way of persuasion only shows your level of education and disregard to the concepts/values that this Nation was built upon, which include free speech and liberty.  Here, let me help you. On 11/20/20 the LA Times published the only recent study I can find where it was found that Covid-19 infection rates between mask wears and non-mask wears are essentially the same.  Both the LA Times story and this referenced Danish study can be found online.  You can also learn that these wonderful N-95 facemasks are made to filter out 95% of particles 0.3 micros and larger but your Covid-19 particle is only 0.1 micron.  Now in this country its citizens should be able to take this and all other information and come to their own conclusion on how to proceed and what the risk is to themselves and others may be, just like they do every day for every activity performed.  See what I did here?  I put out some arguments and I’m willing to let you decide what you personally want to do.
