Re: “The meaning of “complementary” is that they achieve the same goal.”

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought you misspelled complimentary.

The point of my previous post was that if masking actually prevents infections, then it is impossible to achieve herd immunity, for COVID, or for any other respiratory infection.
