ITALY one of only countries in Europe that has mandated face masks outdoors at ALL times. Only country with high excess deaths. In winter, Italians have the lowest levels of vitamin D in Europe, now reduced by masks. If Covid19 was the issue it would affect all nations equally
The skin absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun, and then converts it into vitamin D. The only exposed part of the body in winter is the face. If you mandate face masks outdoors at ALL times, you reduce vitamin D intake in the population by the amount of face area covered.
In Italy it can still be sunny in winter. Italian's skin pigmentation is used to react to UV light all year round. Skiing trips were a booster to winter vitamin D levels. Yet skiing is now banned in Italy. This means the winter holiday boost given to vitamin D is now banned.
As it's often sunny in Italy, many Italians wear sun glasses in winter. A combination of sun glasses & face masks covering mouth & nose at all times will reduce the winter intake of vitamin D in Italians by up to 80%
Italians can't cope with any lower levels of vitamin D, skin pigmentation makes it so that they have the lowest levels in Europe. Mandating face masks outdoors & banning winter vacations as movement btw regions forbidden is KILLING ITALIANS, not Covid19: https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1334546957369561090?s=19

"Vitamin D insufficiency was present in 93.1% of the patients with severe-critical COVID-19." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12603-020-1479-0
A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577
Unlike other studies looking at masks, Danmask was a randomised controlled trial – the highest quality scientific evidence. It revealed a minimal statistical difference between those who wore medical masks & those who did not in terms of COVID-19 infection https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/do-masks-stop-the-spread-of-covid-19-
