Do you reject most medical treatment then as it usually only has some probably of success (it might work, but need not)? What about seat belts? Presumably your position is a lot more nuance than your wording?

I think you just missed the nuance.

GP said "the masks most people wore", which is not to say all masks, but rather suggesting that the majority of masks that real people were really using and how they used them amounted to nothing.

> What about seat belts?

If it helps (though I never met an analogy that wasn't rotten on the inside once dissected in debate) an inadequate or improperly worn seatbelt can be more dangerous.
