The DANMASK study is now the best available scientific evidence for COVID-19 that shows wearing a mask gives no real benefit to the wearer.

It wasn& #39;t a surprise since this is consistent with existing scientific evidence for other flu/corona viruses.

1/
The disciples of the Church of the Mask rightly point out that the study doesn& #39;t disprove that masks help prevent spread to others.

From the book of Ferguson, Chapter 4, Verse 12: "My mask protects you"

2/
However, more Scientific evidence is emerging that asymptomatic spread is not a significant transmission vector for COVID-19.

Even high priest Fauci was adamant about that fact, mostly because it& #39;s true of every other Corona and Flu virus.

3/
So if you& #39;re NOT sick, you& #39;re not infecting others. So wearing a mask (when healthy) protects nobody.

Turns out the age old advice stays true. Remember when your boss used to tell you, "If you& #39;re sick, don& #39;t come to work and get everyone sick".

That& #39;s good advice

4/
If you& #39;re sick, stay home until you& #39;re better. The best the Church of the Mask can recommend with a straight face should be, "If you& #39;re sick and need to go out, wear a damn mask"

Why is this so complicated?

5/
If you& #39;re still a loyal disciple with strong faith, by all means wear your mask, and wear it with pride. I have no problem with that.

You can even evangelise.

Just don& #39;t force any unwilling heathens to join your religion.
