only refers to the rate of disease replication in the absence of any attempt to stop it from replicating

Attempts to stop it. Attempts to stop it. Like wearing masks to reduce community reinfection from outbound particles. Which the ARTICLES WHICH YOU FOUND AND CITED back up.

You fucking idiot

Wow, do you have pronouns and a rainbow flag in your profile???

Let me try to explain in simple terms even a trans ally ("transwomen are women!!!1!") could understand:

  • Actual scientific studies before Covid show no evidence that masks or respirators stop transmission of respiratory diseases like the flu. Masks don't stop people getting sick, not the wearer, and not other people.
  • Actual scientific studies since Covid show no evidence that masks or respirators stop transmission of Covid either. Masks don't stop people getting sick, not the wearer, and not other people.
  • Even though there is no evidence that masks or respirators stop or reduce the spread of Covid, for the last three years many people in the media, including doctors and so-called medical experts, claimed that wearing a mask would stop transmission of Covid and prevent both the wearer of the mask and other people from getting sick.
    • They were wrong. Just because people claim that wearing masks would stop transmission doesn't make it true.
  • You denied that anyone ever said that wearing a mask would stop you from getting sick.
    • You were wrong too. I found many links of people doing what you denied anyone ever said.

Those who said that masks would stop people from getting sick were wrong, and you were wrong when you denied that they said it. They did say it, they were wrong when they said it, you were wrong when you denied they said it, and you are doubly wrong when you pretend that links showing people doing what you said they never did proves you right.

It makes no difference whether you are talking about cloth masks or disposable surgical masks or N95 masks or face shields or scarves wrapped around your head or double masking or triple masking or sticking your head in a paper bag. It makes no difference whether you talk about blocking outbound particles or inbound particles or both. There is no scientific evidence that masks protect anyone from getting sick, or reduce community infection. Just a bunch of media people and doctors and "experts" and their useful idiots making unsubstantiated claims.
