No, you're missing mine. Wearing masks and social distancing SLOWS DOWN the development of herd immunity, it doesn't stop it.

True, but incomplete. REAL SCIENCE goes with the best data. The "masks don't work" meme has NO real data that I have seen that was worth the electrons to put it on my screen. The "masks DO work" meme is played out every day in every hospital in the world (and many other places outside hospitals). "I" will go with the best data.

Neurosurgeon Says Face Masks Pose Serious Risk to Healthy People
As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.” Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.
“No, you’re missing mine. Wearing masks and social distancing SLOWS DOWN the development of herd immunity, it doesn’t stop it.”
Why on earth would you want to slow down herd immunity?
