We have known since 1981 that surgical masks do not stop the spread of infectious diseases. Surgeons don't wear them in operating rooms for that reason. They do stop spit and sweat from dripping into open wounds, which is the real reason they wear them.
As someone who wore gas masks for a living in the military, and has had NBC training, the very idea that a leaky as hell paper mask over your mouth and nose would stop respiratory illness spread is magical thinking.
Only a N95 mask could do such a thing, and using them for that requires specific procedures for donning and doffing so you don't contaminate yourself or others, and they also require the user to be fit tested.
MATH+ protocol is what everyone should have been doing all along, but nope, masks and Remdesivir were Official Policy.™
I have done enough safety courses for H2S to know those fucking chin diapers wouldn't do a fucking thing. Seriously, if you expect literally every single male to be clean shaven, you're off your fucking rocker.
IMHO, the reason for the masks were so that… Those who wanted to, could easily sort the “compliant” with the “non-compliant”…
They knew the masks didn’t work, and wouldn’t work. They didn’t care. They simply used it to sort those who happily “conformed” from those of us who would not, or in some cases could not easily, do so…
That’s my firm guess, from personal experience, anyway!
Hence the fear, shame and social lynching of those who didn’t play along, lol…
