Speaking of consistency, if you believe "life" starts at conception... btw, why conception, why not life starts at every unfertilized egg, or every time you splooge into a napkin?... but I digress. Okay, if "life," as you define it, starts at conception, then what's you position on fertility clinics? I'm sure you realize they take numerous eggs from the potential future mother and then refrigerate/freeze them until they are ready to attempt insertion into that same woman. Many of the fertilized eggs do not implant. Should there be a funeral and a manslaughter investigation for every fertilized egg that does NOT result in a full term pregnancy and birth? What about the fertilized eggs at the Fertility Clinic that end up never being used? If they are all "lives," then what do you do with THEM? What happens if the power goes out at the clinic and many of the fertilized eggs "die?" Then what... is this now a mass killing/homicide investigation?

I think a lot of anti-abortion people want their proverbial cake and eat it too. Hey, we're Pro Life! Oh wait, what, you want to execute a 15 y/o charged as an adult in Texas... kill him! An eye for an eye! What, raise taxes to give poor people health care so they might not die of easily treatable medical issues... screw that, everyone for themselves! But, if you get raped and impregnated due to that rape, damn it, you're gonna have that baby (even if you realize you're pregnant within a month), because I'm "Pro Life!?"

Again, back to the fertility clinic. Do you want to outlaw fertility clinics then... because they can't guaranty the "safety" of fertilized eggs? What about the fertilized eggs that are never used... in your "life starts at conception" world, what do you do with the fertilized eggs? Most people that claim to be Pro Life will usually try to weasel out of this question because they can see the hypocrisy trap coming from a mile away... but their refusal to answer only seems to be an affirmation of their hypocrisy.

Again, the control groups aren't control groups, because cities imposed mandates.

In addition, the document states:

We have several limitations to our study that we must acknowledge. First, we are only assessing the effect of the mask order itself. In other words, we are not able to assess the actual mask use because we do not have data on adherence to the mask order. Although we adjusted our model for public health complaint calls, we do not have a direct measure of wear. Second, we performed model adjustment based on local caseload to account for local caseload changes. Because many San Antonio hospitals serve as regional receiving centers for the offloading of cases from smaller hospitals along with regional support for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation capabilities, we have no way to determine what volume of the ICU and ventilator use was attributable to transfers.36 Although obesity has been identified as a risk factor for COVID mortality and cannot be adjusted for in our study, the overweight and obese proportion in Bexar County (71%) is similar to that of national proportions (66%).25,37,38 It also is possible that the mask order had a hypothetical effect in slowing the rate of increase of the various burden metrics; if this were the case, then implementing an order earlier may have a greater impact on the hospital burden in terms of the daily increase in caseload without affecting the total caseload. Conversely, the mask order may be extraneous, and the disease may follow a typical progression in spite of it (eg, application of Farr’s law).39 It also is possible that the order did not meaningfully alter mask utilization patterns because mask use was not novel in San Antonio or Bexar County.

So the real conclusion is "we were tasked to do this study and we did and have no meaningful conclusions"

Depends on your definition of activity. Nothing wrong with the link at all. You just don't like any link that you didn't post.

First, your source agrees with me, so not even sure why you posted it to challenge my comment.

Second, that isn't a real source. Notice it doesn't have any citations for the information.

Many consider masturbation a sin as well, because it's the "deliberate wasting of the seed of life." Hypocrites (who also masturbate) want every ejaculation to result in a tax paying citizen, so that the indoctrination, control, and financial machine of theology can persist.

Theology -- the study of the nature of God and religious belief.

Nice try.
