An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19. "The preponderance of evidence indicates that mask wearing reduces transmissibility per contact." Also notable is that, as their name would imply, N95 masks are up to 95% effective at blocking transmission, with surgical masks hovering around 60-70%.

Not to mention that masks can decrease the severity of a COVID-19 infection.

Also, it's good practice to actually cite your sources.

Also also, if you're going to go through someone's comment history trying to "gotcha" them for everyone to see, posts from 8 months ago aren't usually the best approach.

I'm sorry 1.4% decrease was wrong it's actually 0.5% decrease in case rate and a 0.7% decrease in death rate. Negligible and barely effective. Keep parroting those msm narratives though. Nobody in my neck of the woods is buying your bullshit.

Nope, it's a .5% decrease in daily case rate, which is enormous and incredibly effective.

After just one month, that's a 14% total decrease in cases, for example.

I will absolutely continue to "parrot" the truth, and your inability to read statistics won't stop me.

I'm sure the paycheck helps your motivation. You are a blatant shill, and your big pharma and statist propaganda won't be received well here. But keep it up, you wouldn't want to end back in that call center.
