This study, compiled before Covid got hysterical, stated “ evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of (nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures like face masks) did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza. We similarly found limited evidence on the effectiveness of improved hygiene and environmental cleaning.”

If masks worked, why do they go through the expense and trouble of using “space suits” in Level 4 labs?

The most conclusive studies on masks showed they worked very well for relatively short periods of time. In a one on one, face to face situation with one person infected, a good quality mask offered about 20-30 minutes of decent protection if one person was masked, about an hour if both people were masked. While no standard mask totally kept the virus away, they did decrease the viral load enough that it was unlikely to be enough to infect.
Wearing a mask for hours on end (like in school) probably was a waste of time in the big picture. It might have offered some protection (we will never know conclusively) but it came at costs to the student. I will say that from my personal experience only one kid I knew of who wore a mask regularly, caught COVID most likely at school.
The best preventative against COVID was and still is social distancing. You are not going to catch COVID outdoors (unless you are in a closely packed crowd) and you are very unlikely to catch COVID unless you are within a couple of feet of an infected person for at least 10 minutes.

They worked so well that only a million and a half people died (or so we are told). Imagine how many would have died if we hadn't used the stinkin' masks?
That's the kind of logic they want us to swallow.

If it has any benefit, your mask protects others, not you. Your mask keeps saliva droplets out of the air others breathe. In the OR, the surgical team masks up and puts on surgical gowns to protect the patient. This is a ludicrous practice for covid.
Never again!!
