Very good. Thanks for posting it. Nice to have at hand. I feel as If I should copy each link independently, as this page might mysteriously disappear at some point.
here is a short video (~20min) with a surgeon explaining why masks are worse than useless for preventing viral infection.

The goal is more lockdowns. Step one is for government to create a panic. Step two is to introduce masks back. Step three is to amp up the panic by admitting that masks don’t work. Step 4 is back to lockdowns and Dems never giving you back your rights.
You need the vaccine because the masks don’t work.
And you need the masks because the vaccines don’t work.
We'll be using this at School Board Meetings around Colorado.
A local reporter didn't like the pushback the Board was getting at our Tuesday meeting and wrote:
"...and refuted COVID-19 science, such as the validity of testing and efficacy of face coverings."
CDC and WHO paid for mask effectiveness studies in SE Asia back in 2015. Multiple med facilities and techies. Folks who knew how to use a mask.
Conclusion for a respiratory virus? N95 blocked ~50%, cloth no more than 4%.
Might as well cover your face with your hands and breath thru your fingers.

Undercut?
Those silly paper/cloth masks have never ever been used to protect from a virus. It says so right on the box.
Undercut.
It’s like TSA Security, there mostly to make us feel good. Masks are like strip-searching Grandma; a pro forma exercise to make us feel safe.
The links in your article are not working, at least for me.
I’m making my mask from cheese cloth so I can breath.
The quote I feel is most applicable:
“Surgical masks are better than cloth but not very efficient at preventing emissions from infected patients.”
This webpage from the Association of Americans Physicians and Surgeons utilized lots of sources:
https://aapsonline.org/mask-facts/
“Virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.”
“Conclusion: Wearing masks (other than N95) will not be effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as PPE.”

“30 Studies and Articles Undercutting Utility of Masks for Stopping Covid”
Masks were only intended to slow Covid, not stop it.
Many of the most vulnerable, such as older people, need only have short exposure times such as during a quick grocery store shopping foray just after the grocery store first opens.
Stores might schedule vaccinated people to open on old vulnerable shopper mornings.
Or even better....tell her there's an asteroid heading our way....

Thanks for posting.
Regardless of what you or I think of COVID, that just seems to be reality.
I made two stops last night. The gym and In and Out Burger (haha-one negates the other you might think). Anyhow, it was madness at each. Pre-covid levels of business, probably higher than that. Packed houses.
I got home and asked my husband, "what's changed?" Nothing. If anything, it's actually worse.
There is an ineffective vaccine, questionable tests (we now know) and no masks. Other than that, nothing has changed. Well, I suppose we now know videos coming from the Chicoms of men face planting on the streets were agit pop, sent here to scare us.
