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.”

Masks only traps some of the bigger droplets, the rest goes through unimpeded.
We know this.
It's not about Covid. It's about fear and control.
It's to provide an excuse to stop and question anyone at any time.

Whenever I see someone wearing a mask today I think three things: Stupid, democrat and sheep.

Lately I’ve been seeing folks wearing their face diapers, here and there. Too funny.

I am extremely right wing, and I am not going to anyone here to wear a mask, but I do believe they reduce risk of infection from the deadly & disabling Fauci virus. I wear them indoors in public places only.

Good luck to everyone. I’m hoping that we get intranasal protein vaccines that allow us stop worrying about the Fauci virus and the hundreds of mutating strains.

Even if the masks were marginally effective, the way they were being worn made them a farce. I saw many wearing masks with their nose exposed…comparable to wearing a condom on your scrotum. Makeshift cloth masks were often not washed or made of even more porous material. Masking rules were a joke…for example restaurant patrons were required to wear masks to enter the restaurant, but could remove them while at table and were being served by masked serving staff. Wearing masks while alone outdoors or alone while driving.. total farce. There are no serious studies that the masks were effective in protecting against or particularly at stopping the spread of COVID.

Face masks probably reduce somewhat the spread to others by catching viruses and bacteria that are being carried by moisture (breathe), but then allow you to breath them back in again.

Fat chance of me complying with that. I just won’t go to doctor or dentist appointments anymore, and I won’t wear them in a grocery store, or anywhere else.
They’ll have to physically remove this 76 year old woman from their premises if they reinstate this crap.

They knew as early as 1981 masks were essentially ineffective.

“Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (I98I) vol. 63

Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre?
Neil W M1 Orr MD Mchir FRCS
Consultant Surgeon, Severalls Surgical Unit, Colchester.

Key words: MASKS; WOUND INFECTION
Summary
No masks were worn in one operating theatre for 6 months. There was no increase in the incidence of wound infection.

No, they did not. The size of the covid virion is ORDERS of MAGNITUDE smaller than that which these face diapers can filter. About all they’re good for is keeping some dipwad from blowing nose snot all over you when he sneezes in your face.
