Medical masks are designed to limit bacterial infections, they are not meant for anything viral.
If you look at the precautions a BSL 4 lab take? You will quickly see through the propaganda. . .
So are you saying that masks are completely ineffective at slowing the spread of COVID? You seem to be dancing around an answer. Do you trust the science or not?
Nuance. . . nuance.
I'm saying, the benefits are not worth the mandates, nor, have they been proven, by multiple peer reviewed articles, to be statistically significant. YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE.
There isn't enough evidence either way. There is not enough "science," to say. . . When scientists receive funding, it taints their research. . . You are a smart person, YOU KNOW THIS.
Would you trust a study from the tobacco industry that told you smoking is good for you? Now, would you trust a study from an establishment source that had a financial incentive to sell PPE telling you that it is crucial for you to buy it?
I can't say if it is necessary, or if it is not. I can only tell you? IT SHOULD BE YOUR CHOICE.
