They are tut-tutting a "mask denier" but I can show those "trust the science" ass holes a study from 1981 that conclusively shows that wearing a cloth or paper mask in an operating room not only provides no protection to the patient for spreading of infection, it enhances the post op infection rate.
Surgeons don't wear masks to prevent infection from micro-organisms, they wear them to keep sweat and saliva out of the patient sterile. They are little more than sweat bands that go over the mouth.
This is why I never bought into the mask thing. I remember 15 years ago wondering why you always saw Asians wearing masks. It was because or SARS and trying to keep contaminates out. All the stuff I found back then also had multiple studies saying this was pure superstition.
