I don't deny there are problems with the current epidemiology evidence, but you have to ask yourself: Who is benefiting from using isolated incidents to spread rumors that the US is mass-counting motorcycle deaths to artificially inflate COVID statistics?

I feel like the burden of proof should lie with the people who want to make everyone wear masks and social distance and shut down the economy and so on.

2. It has a genetic-lottery interplay with your blood such that in some individuals it has been responsible for strokes, pulmonary embolisms, brain damage, and blood vessel damage.
3. If you happen to get a bad case, even if you don't die, it will scar your lungs, and you have that for the rest of your life.

What is your evidence, though? I did a quick search of google scholar for 'covid stroke' and I found
this paper, which states "In a retrospective study of 214 hospitalized COVID-19 patients from Wuhan, China, 5.7% of the severe patients suffered a stroke". You and I both know that statements like this are garbage. What are 'severe patients'? Everything depends on the sampling bias. And I can't check the reference, because it
no longer exists. I am perfectly willing to amend my position if you can show that, say, while only 0.5% of COVID patients die, another 5% suffer significant permanent injury, but I have yet to see any evidence for it.

If your answer is YOLO, or that the minor interpersonal inconvenience of having to have a mask over your face is too much to bear, that's your choice (for now, usually). I just think it is an unethical one.

I think I was pretty clear that I don't view masks as a minor interpersonal inconvenience.
