I hope you guys who think masks do nothing are consistent, and when hospitalized for surgery, you will insist that no doctors or nurses treating you wear masks. If not, you’re not just idiots, you’re hypocrites as well.
Good. We now have the straw man arguments and name calling. That means I can call you a moron because you started it. Moron.
Nobody is arguing against surgeons and their assisting staff wearing masks, gloves and gowns, or washing their hands and maintaining sterile precautions when they cut your body open and expose your entrails to the environment. What we are talking about is wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of a mostly non-fatal virus. We will benefit more from people getting it and dealing with it with their immune systems than avoiding it on the slight chance it might cause us to "test positive".

The presence of a mask is not what is effective. Medical professionals are trained to wear them properly and only for a short period of time. You wear your contaminated snot rag until it is gross and disgusting and spreads germs.
My issue is not really with masks but the article conflating a real pandemic Spanish Flu, do a basically no show pandemic COVID 19 that has killed less than 1/10th of a percent of the world population.
