that's cute. read the first sentence of a study and assume that's the conclusion of the study.

your link was written by some cow that has a degree in writing.

conclusion (from my link above):

The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates

or from the cdc:

quote: One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group (33). Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months (9,10). The overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies

now, yew have to ask yourself, in the past, many studies have confirmed masks don't work, but all of the sudden a few studies appear that masks do work? really? i would provide another source from oxford, but joogle scrubbed it.
