I'd check the link again because it answers most if not all of your questions. It weighs (with gradated strictness) mask usage, restaurant closures, school re-openings, large gathering restrictions, health checks, travel, lockdowns, and more. You may have some quibbles with the methodology, and that's fine, but it really doesn't look like "garbage data".

Also, there is no medical consensus on this array of restrictions and I don't think he claims to overturn anything. There is a robust and healthy debate among scientists and medical professionals on the effectiveness of school closures, lockdowns, temperature checks, etc. The scientific certainty of mask efficacy in some circumstances simply can't be a stand-in for every pandemic restriction.

I understand this is a polarizing topic because it maps closely to political leanings, but we should all try to be more open-minded to good faith efforts to understand the data whether it confirms our biases or not.
