Show me a single study that proves wearing a surgical mask lowers your risk of respiratory infection, let alone a piece of cloth doing so.
No one can because they do not exist...
This is simply theater and politics.
If you want to wear a mask, by all means do so, but these mandates are beyond stupid and are simply theater
There is only 1 Random Controlled Trial (RCT) ever done for cloth masks, using a large sized cohort (sample of people).
Just 1.
Result? Cloth masks actually worse than no mask. Cloth masks increased infections caught more than no mask.

All the sneezing through masks in a lab mean nothing, if they don’t work in real life, with real people, sick and not.
