As is a pattern in your replies you continue being either horribly ignorant or just downright malicious, neither of which is surprising from someone who uses CSAM as a shield for censorship. If you think for even an iota of a second that properly worn surgical masks are comparable to the cheap slapped-on masks that were worn during the pandemic, then you’re genuinely not worth discussing this with. Not to mention you didn’t even actually interface with any of previous reply, namely the very first reference I used which already discredited this ignorance.
Continue mindlessly spreading misinformation and lies, you’re a waste of my time.

And surgeons are standing above cut openings in the body, so preventing spittle and other bodily droplets is the main reason for the mask. They use a better mask and throw it away upon hours of use. Covid is airborne, not droplet based infection. Wearing a mask for hours and improperly also has other health-related issues aside from mental ones.

This is a non sequitur. Surgeons don't wear masks to prevent transmission of airborne viruses.
If you can just put all of the ideas that people were wrong, lied, whatever, and just look at some data, I think you will see a clear pattern:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
Try putting the table of weekly excess deaths in order of highest %.
The fact that the spanish flu was worse doesn't mean anything. You wouldn't eat rotting food because it only kills you 3% of the time compared to drinking a liter of bleach.
Yes, people got a lot of things wrong during the pandemic, and the scientific consensus was constantly changing. I can't think of anything in the world where people don't make mistakes and learn as they go.
There's always a risk of getting things wrong, but if, for the mask example, the risk is that you're needlessly uncomfortable if it doesn't help, and that you will be less likely to kill people if it does, maybe you should just buck up and inconvenience yourself slightly.
In the case of masks it's pretty goddamn obvious they work anyway. Do you think maybe every surgeon in the world, who spends 8+ years studying medicine, just wears masks because they're brainwashed? Or maybe you, social media guru, might have been misled?
