I don't know if anyone reading this thread will take the time to read through the links I've posted on the efficiency of masks, but you should especially if you think they make a difference. I'm excerpting here what I believe to be a few key lines from the research for those who won't/don't read the entire study:
excerpt:
It is understandable that masks have come to play an outsized role in people's minds, because they appear to offer a relatively easy solution that, unlike other interventions, does not significantly interfere with everyday activities. It is easy to see whether someone is wearing a mask, and it is easy to blame the people who do not for spreading infection. Mask wearing (or the lack thereof) provides an easy target for blame, when there are many less observable or measurable variables that could be responsible for infection.
Also, it is easier to require people to wear masks in comparison to other, more effective interventions, such as vaccination, limiting the number of people or the time they spend in a shared space, or improving the ventilation in that space.
Wearing masks provides an oversized illusion of control over a difficult-to-contain and still largely unknown disease.

excerpt:
It was not until November 2020, however, that the CDC finally published a scientific brief on face coverings, which again expanded the message to indicate that they could also protect the wearer from droplets, while finally recognizing
that face coverings vary widely in filtration effectiveness. The brief fails to recognize or discuss the very limited efficacy of face coverings for preventing the emission or inhalation of small infectious particles and offers no guidance for the assessment of filter efficiency, breathing resistance, or fit.

excerpt:
The most important features of anything worn on the face to prevent the emission of respiratory particles (source control) or protect the wearer from inhaling infectious particles (personal protection) are filter efficiency, breathing resistance, and fit, in that order.
cloth and surgical masks offer a very limited degree of source control, because, while they limit the number of larger respiratory particles in a space,
they do not prevent the emission of most small particles (aerosols) exhaled during breathing, talking, singing, coughing, or other respiratory actions. Because masks offer limited source control and much more limited personal protection, their effectiveness can be improved only by combining them with other interventions.
Again...please...please...please read the entire study! What hacks me off about this entire "plandemic" is how often we are either lied to or critical information is deliberately withheld from us about this virus, its origins, treatments, or real dangers behind these measures to avoid it by Fauci, the CDC, or other other government officials. I'm trying to offer here scientific, carefully researched, well documented information on these stupid masks to cut through media lies and Fauci crap & help you make a better informed decision.
Too bad our worthless media isn't as interested in providing information like this as much as they are determined to scare the Hell out of everyone about this virus?
You're welcome.
