“Masks do not work to stop viruses.
High School biology should have taught you that.”
Viruses don’t have wings. They require transport. That is in the form of saliva or mucous droplets (that are, in fact, generally too large to pass through the holes in masks).
Masks stop some of those droplets. That reduces the quantity of virus in the environment, in turn reducing the amount of exposure by an individual, on average, providing them with a better chance to develop antibodies or engage other immune system defenses in time to avoid serious illness - in other words, be part of that asymptomatic cohort. These are all easily verified facts that you can look up.
Your High School biology class was clearly of low quality.
Is this also true of flu viruses?
Actually viruses do travel on their own. I am so sorry you never learned that in your cut rate Falsi formula propaganda class.
But you just wrap that training burqua around you and try to get into a level four virus lab.
Be sure to tell them about how just it will reduce the viral load and will keep you from getting sick.
Actually, we have real world data now that we didn’t have before.
Considering all factors, mask, lockdowns, etc have not been very effective.
I guess that you have to define what your goal is. If the goal is to prevent everyone from being exposed, then impossible.
Anyway, I believe that this study proves that masks are not effective.
