How did you manage to become dumber while sober? Also you are mentally still an infant so I understand where he is coming from - I'm still flabbergasted at the fact that you are above the age of 25.

"They", I assume, is CNN. A news platform iirc.
There's been numerous threads about face mask efficacy on jsp and I (among others) have already dropped all the necessary proof as to why wearing them makes sense.
There are meta-analyses to justify that stance. If there are now newer meta-analyses of equal or higher quality disregarding that scientific finding, I am happy to read the articles presented.

If you're not fully read-in on the subject, the story-in-a-nutshell is as follows:
1) Face masks do not stop aerosolic infection
2) Face masks (even cloth ones) do stop droplet-related infections
3) People interpret 1) as a justification to not wear masks "because they do not work". I venture this has something to do with the fact that it is a respiratory illness and thus people expect aerosolic infection to be the major component of infection rates
4) Using masks that prevent aerosolic infection on top of droplet infection did not reduce infectivity rates with a statistical significance
5) Using masks that prevent droplet infection reduces infectivity rate with statistical significance. The meta-analyses I often cited on JSP uses an OR of 0.55. I assume you know what this means or have the capacity to learn what it means by yourself.

The spread of sars-cov2 is mainly through droplet infection. This is why cloth masks are useful despite their sheer inability to reduce aerosolic release of virus particles. The innoculation through airbourne particles is just too little to cause an infection for nearly everyone who comes across these particles. In other words, you need "more" virus particles to become infected than you are likely to get with aerosols without droplets. I emphasize point 4.

/e

I shall give this a proper read later to see if your sources check out and if the articles are worth the read. I suspect they have been refuted, have low study quality, are not free from conflict of interests or do not produce enough power for a conclusion, but at least you came up with enough material to justify looking into it. I'm in the middle of my exams though so it may take a while (weeks), but remind me if I haven't gotten back to you before February.


Wearing them doesn't make sense. Please do your research.

What studies have shown that wearing masks does not reduce transmission of Covid 19? Post one.

Don't give me your personal reasons, post the research. You probably raw dog scuttle butts.

I think there's a reasonable argument for the effectiveness of M95+ masks worn in limited contact situations, either outdoors or spacious indoor areas, without ever being removed, only when worn properly.
As soon as you start adding in "extended contact" or "small indoors areas" or "removed to eat" or "fidget with mask or don't have sealed sides", they rapidly approach the point of being totally fucking pointless
As I've said before, we're immersed in a fluid medium. Whether its aerosols or even small moisture particles, air currents are enough to disperse and thus immerse people enough that anything more than fleeting exposure quickly becomes enough to be infectious. If two people are breathing air in the same room for any significant amount of time, they are already exposing each other to covid. Even if a mask blocks 95% of particles, the other 5% become enough when the air is thick with cooties. When people have any means for air to flow around a mask, whether removed even briefly or worn improperly, that's going to make it similarly pointless.

We've had 2 years of real world application and there's been dick all correlation between covid outcomes and the populace's mask wearing habits. States with mask mandates and widespread mask usage were just as affected by geographically clustered covid waves as their anti-mask neighboring states. And geographical is the operative word, because these waves have spread with little relation to demographics or politics or prevention measures, and instead been trends of peaks and valleys associated with alternating sections of the country. Right now its the east coast getting hammered despite heavy vaccination and mask wearing, while the west coast lagged behind by weeks and is only picking up on the omicron wave this week.

Loosely fitting cloth masks do nothing and even the CDC admits it. That's been plain since the start. I don't think M95s are showing much practical effectiveness, but at least they've got some argument in the right circumstances, but more often also do nothing.
The CDC has given us a lot of really bad advice throughout this pandemic and been wrong more often than they've been right.
