Keep on telling yourself that but data doesn’t lie. Masking is closer to religion than anything else.

Again, all it did was contribute to our already nasty microplastic problem.

I will!

$5 sez you have some data that just so happens to confirm your biases, and i bet there's also some data that says masking actually did help. Utterly pointless arguing this nonsense, in the end it always just turns out to be speed-runs to some tedious conspiracy theories.

I would say not, for airborne viruses. Those masks are to keep the doctor's sweat, hair, and saliva out of the patient.
