"doctors and surgeons wear masks, so they must stop disease spread!" seems to be a common refrain these days.
but is it true?
let's ask the association of american physicians and surgeons (from 9/26/20)
they do not appear to agree with this assessment.

they are of the opinion that cloth and surgical masks do not work and that N95 does not work as source protection.
this lines up with this high quality study of mask use in over 3000 surgical theaters.
mask wear led to more, not less post op infection. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1286658667388063747?s=20

and that was masks fitted to the doctor and worn by trained professionals.
results in real world settings where people touch their faces and masks and wear them for long periods and repeatedly can only be worse.
especially if the masks are not fitted. https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1315553870005833730?s=20

that video will show you the issue. if cov19 is aerosol (and it looks to be) then the masks are not helping and may well be collecting and concentrating it in front of your nose and mouth
lab tests about "cough distance" are meaningless.

masks are being pushed as a talisman of "doing something" and with a layer of virtue signaling and guilt on top with the invented slogan of "your mask protects me."
but it has no basis in scientific fact.
and everyone knew that as recently as last year. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1310595825865756673?s=20

and it's still true now. heavily masked germany is getting a normal rhinovirus season, just like unmasked sweden. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1305124181714046976
the slogans and invented claims like "wearing a mask reduces case severity" are all just the torture tested soundbites that emerge from the social media meme wars are scariest and most socially effective.
it's "mean girls" not medicine.

if masks really worked, you'd expect to see some sort of signal here in terms of lower infection rates, but you don't. https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/12/cdc-study-finds-overwhelming-majority-of-people-getting-coronavirus-wore-masks/#.X4TzD8cUY0C.facebook
even the new england journal of medicine has weighed in and called masks "talismen" and disparaged any real efficacy. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1308142943484686337?s=20
so just what are we playing at here?
clearly this is an emotional issue and people are seriously riled up about it, but the ones screaming loudest to "follow the science" seem to not have the foggiest notion of what the science really is.
this is deliberate.

the mask zealots are being fooled by charlatans & whipped up into righteous indignation by demagogues
i'm sure many truly believe what they are regurgitating
but the data and the real medical agencies say something entirely different.
so let's calm this down a notch, shall we?

this is supposed to be science and medicine, not a religious war.
those whipping it up into one for self serving ends need to be denounced and deplatformed.
following them is what got us into this mess.
repudiating them will get us out.
