I wonder if there has been research that attempts to answer the question of whether masks encourage less safe or more safe behaviour - it feels to me like something that would respond well to a well designed study.

Anecdotally speaking, in my corner of England social distancing went out of the window shortly after masks were mandated in shops.

In addition, several of the "masks don't work" studies I saw had to do with people touching or messing with their masks undoing any benefits of actually wearing a mask.
