As per the CDC, in a 2018 meta-study that analyzed data collected since 1946, face masks have not been proven to have any meaningful effect in transmission of flu-like viruses. It's in the margin of error. And covid is, in every way, a flu-like virus in the way it acts and gets transmitted. And on the other hand, there have been dozens of studies showing that wearing a mask over a long period of time is detrimental, not only in the mental development of children who can no longer perceive facial expressions of adults and children around them, but also from the fact that the condensation that accumulates in the masks creates mold and fungi that is harmful to inhalate.
And if official studies aren't your thing, then here's a very simple experiment you can conduct yourself. Try wearing a mask in cold weather, then put on some glasses or sunglasses. Condensation nearly immediately appears in them, doesn't it? That's evidence that your breath shoots straight up, when you exhale while wearing a mask. 95%+ of the air you breathe and exhale while wearing a mask does not get filtered; it just goes through the path of least resistance, which is around the mask. Not to mention that the masks are not made to stop particles as minuscule as viruses, that are the size of a strand of RNA. And also, flu-like viruses don't primarily spread through droplets, but through aerosol particles, which are transported by air, which goes around the mask.
TLDR: Masks do fuck all to prevent covid transmission. Pretending otherwise this many years past the event shows that you've been purposely avoiding researching all of the evidence that came before the "pandemic", that came during it, and that have come out since.
I honestly can’t take him seriously. He reminds me of my cousins who to this day tell me the “peaceful protests” we’re fighting against injustice and the rioting and looting were overblown by right wingers
Even if they had did anything useful in closed indoor spaces, you're already outside in a crowd with wind dispersing particles off in every direction. The efficacy of wearing masks vs. not wearing them would be nil outside.
Not to mention that in the case of flu viruses, sunlight truly is the best disinfectant. There's a reason that flu viruses are so much less virulent in the summer. Sunlight kills it. Covid infections were negligible in the summer to begin with.
Do you actually think that the shitty masks people regularly wear are N95s? Do you actually think that they're wearing them correctly, and for the very short amount of time you should wear them before mould starts to appear? If you do, then you're retarded. The vast majority of people were wearing shitty blue masks made in China that didn't do shit, and weren't hermetic at all. Studies based on N95s that rely on very strict operational standards are utterly irrelevant to policies affecting the general public. Something anyone with even the barest of knowledge in science would be able to tell in a matter of seconds.
Yep. That's right. That's you. You were arguing that infections were not significant in the Floyd riots because they were wearing masks, which I've demonstrated were useless and had a negative impact, and then you've tried to argue they were effective because N95s were effective in clinical studies in closed environments, but none of the people in the riots were wearing N95s. So you're trying to argue something completely unrelated that had no impact and no relation to the subject at hand whatsoever.
They do nothing.

Imagine citing propaganda and thinking you're smart.
Handshakes get dumber by the second.
No, dipshit, it's propaganda when a government agency produces it.
They are the same people we’re teasing in this thread. So self published articles from them mean nothing.
Go back to Reddit. Queer.
