Studies seem to indicate that masks do work, it's just not full proof, but can slow down the rate of transmission.

Reddit is run by pedophiles, so beating up some random person is kind of not that bad in comparison.

i dont think so.. if there was an airborne virus in the air, you would need to wear a SEALED SPACE SUIT to avoid catching it.

wearing some fifty cent cloth bullshit across your mouth might keep flies from getting into your mouth, but it will never keep you from inhaling an airborne virus.

And that's why I said it's not 100% full proof, doesn't mean that it can't reduce the rate of transmission. Masks largely decrease the spread of your own droplets/aerosols, they don't protect you much from aerosols of other ppl.

The virus also transfers through BOTH water droplets and aerosol.

There are 141 references listed in this review with multiple types of studies, including studies on the filtration rate of aerosol particles: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2014564118

Here's another study, a mannequin simulation in a controlled environment using 3 types of masks: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mSphere.00637-20

If you still think otherwise, do your own mannequin simulation and provide an unedited video of you working out your results. This study is easily repeatable.

I. DO. NOT. WANT. YOUR. POISON. VACCINE.

THANK. YOU.
