Numerous studies show that masks don't prevent Covid.

He's right.

Whether he's wrong about that one article or not (I'm not spending time looking into some technical little gotcha), there are numerous articles that corroborate his claim.

Fascists deny alternative ideas by any means necessary including technicalitys even if the spirit of the idea is correct.

It's what fascists do.

Nick, you’d be wise to listen to your own advice.

It is a fact that masks reduce the spread of disease.

They are not a silver bullet, but a tool for mitigation. The idea is to layer multiple risk-mitigating techniques.

Masks on their own are not enough, but masks plus distancing plus hand washing plus travel restrictions plus vaccines plus whatever else is somewhat effective combines to be something much more effective.

In one comment, you say to “stop spreading misinformation” and in another you say “numerous studies show that masks don’t prevent covid” and follow up with the comments about fascists.

You’re literally doing what you say fascists do.
