More like, if you’re able to breathe it doesn’t protect you/stop you from spreading.
Like where do people think the air goes when they exhale? Where do they think the air comes from when the inhale? They have to think a piece of cloth is literally filtering everything.
This whole thing really put on blast how little people think. And the people who are willing to put any thought into it will come up with the most insane shit to validate their predetermined opinion.
My understanding is that a tiny amount of virus capsules are trapped by a moisture barrier on the mask. But that would only have a marginal protective effect for others in the extremely specific circumstance that: 1) You are literally sick with the virus or asymptomatic transfer is a thing (not sure if that was even proven?), 2) You are only next to a person in a non-confined space for a short window of time - shorter than that and there's no risk in the first place, longer than that and enough virus gets through anyway. 3) The mask is fitted properly, you don't have a beard, and it hasn't been subsequently handled by your grubby fingers.
And this is just a theory. I don't know that it's been experimentally demonstrated.
