It’s not propaganda. Available data indicates that if everyone wears makes it reduces spread by 70-80%.

It’s pure propaganda. 100% pure.

You just keep on believing that a little piece of cloth protect you.

Think about this. We’re at 92% mask wearing compliance and yet supposedly cases are surging dramatically.

In my case, I wear one when forced and that’s all. Maybe 5 minutes a day. Since this has begin, I’ve been to 13 states, multiple hotels, Met hundreds of people, shook hands, many gatherings, up to 50,000 people, countless restaurants.

Outside of a sterile setting, masks may have negligible effect but for the most part are fear theatre useful only for conditioning the easily manipulated.

Your study doesn’t support your claim. The study only reports that droplet transmission is reduced and says nothing about the effect on infections.

Second, all those references are in high risk areas and says nothing about whether masks should be worn everyday, everywhere by everyone.

I’ve seen reports that if everyone wears a mask for four months then deaths will be reduced by 40,000. Sounds good, right? Well suppose masks are four for a dollar. 300 million people. Four masks a day each (they can’t be reused). That’s 120 million masks a day for 160 days. That’s 192 billion masks costing $48Billion. You don’t suppose that money might be better spent trying to protect the most vulnerable instead of trying to protect those unlikely die from the virus.
