Have you read DANmask and Bangladesh. I have. Both studies fail to show masks to be effective. DANmask and Bangladesh show that they are not effective at stopping infection. This is particularly seen with reference to cloth masks. Bangladesh showed that people over age 50 have an 11% benefit but this result (according to the researchers) was confounded by the test limitations (self-reporting, the way the trial was promoted etc.).. We also know that over 14 randomized control trials fail to show masks to be effective at stopping either spread or infection (Aiello, 2010, Aiello, 2012, Barasheed, 2014, Cowling, 2008, Larson 2010 etc. etc.) Moreover, viruses are airborne so the particulates waft through the air via Brownian motion. The particulates caught by the mask eventually dry and fall and waft. Masks only stop bits of lunch from the surgeon from falling into an open wound. As you know doctors and nurses do not regularly wear masks and in fact, Canadian nurses sued (pre-covid) and won the right to not wear masks. They proved their case to the satisfaction of the courts. Here's my point: the data is just not there to support masks and the sooner we recognize that mask are talismans and investigate why we bought into them, the better. The truth sets us free. And we need truth very much right now. Truth and wisdom.
