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'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'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's true of every other Corona and Flu virus.

3/
So if you're NOT sick, you'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're sick, don't come to work and get everyone sick".

That's good advice

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

Why is this so complicated?

5/
If you'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't force any unwilling heathens to join your religion.
