Is there evidence that masks did anything to halt the spread of the Spanish flu?

There is evidence that social distancing helped. I'm not sure about masks specifically. https://qz.com/1816060/a-chart-of-the-1918-spanish-flu-shows...

Do you have evidence that masks are ineffective in reducing the transmission of influenza?

In science, as in logic, the onus of proof is on the positive.

Your implication being your question is based in logic or scientific curiosity, and not some disingenuous politics.
