Positive correlation between mask usage and deaths?

Two sentences in comparison:

If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue. Check local advice where you live and work. Do it all!

Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people.

and:

While no cause-effect conclusions could be inferred from this observational analysis, the lack of negative correlations between mask usage and COVID-19 cases and deaths suggest that the widespread use of masks at a time when an effective intervention was most needed, i.e., during the strong 2020-2021 autumn-winter peak, was not able to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Moreover, the moderate positive correlation between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe also suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences.

Straziante meravigliosa deficienza del creato

Nella descrizione del video "Niente di sano sul fronte occidentale", leggiamo: «Il fatto di non riuscire a capire come siano possibili certi fenomeni non è necessariamente indice di scarsa intelligenza. Forse e' il Sistema ad essere malato. Come sembrano confermare i vertici di autolesionismo e di cattiveria del biennio Covid e del successivo periodo bellico. C'è qualcosa di marcio in Occidente. La civiltà erede della tradizione greca, romana, cristiana ha smarrito il senno. Siamo forse di fronte a una società  letteralmente "psicopatica", oltre che psicopatologica?»

Volendo sintetizzare il tutto in un'immagine...
