I'm gonna go out on a wild limb here and say that masks probably had something to do with it (among other things).

There are some compelling arguments brought against this idea here: https://ianmsc.substack.com/p/no-masks-do-not-work-against-t....

That's not the complete story on these past two years and the flu of course, but according to the narrative presented in that article, we don't have much evidence to suggest that masks had anything to do with it.

The guy who makes his living by promoting an anti-mask agenda says masks don’t work. I’m convinced!

As I said, he brings out some compelling arguments. Making a living based on your research work is not in itself a cause for concern. That's what most researchers do.
