I have heard the 'low powered' argument before regarding the Danish study. It's ridiculous.
It's no more ridiculous than taking into consideration what influenced the efficacy % of the Janssen vaccine versus the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine.

And in any case, the onus is on the people who want everyone to wear masks to prove they work.
The onus is on those who are not in agreement with the consensus. Insert the Reservoir Dogs tipping/gratuity scene here. You are Mr. Pink.

Also, in certain restaurants male patrons are still required to wear a jacket. Other establishments have lower expectations, but ones that are still enforced—"No shoes, no shirt, no service."

Are you suggesting that Denmark's samfundssind was some kind of gigantic faith healing?

Culture influences behavior and vice versa. Having to suddenly alter one's personal habits and family traditions is a form of culture shock. Certain parts of the world's population experienced this to a lesser extent based, in part, on their cultural norms, their national policies, and their immediate relationships. For example, those within the cystic fibrosis community were already social distancing. If a word or phrase serves to reinforce certain behaviors, that is not in the same category as faith healing. Let's not confuse secular pledges with religious practices.

But I hope you can continue this conversation with your own words rather than merely
I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?
