Finally, finally people in my corner of the world are starting to drop the masks. Until this morning I would be one of only 1 or 2 maskless in any store I visited. Today in Krogers fully 1/3 of people went without.
PBS has a documentary on the Spanish Flu where it discusses how both masks and vaccines didn't work.
"All of America, it seemed, put on masks. At last, many thought, they were safe. But masks didn't help. They were thin and porous -- no serious restraint to tiny microbes. It was like trying to keep out dust with chicken wire."
"A resolution shot through Congress, giving the Public Health Service a million dollars to fight the flu. Biochemists around the country worked feverishly to develop a vaccine. [...] But even vaccines didn't help."

A 2017 study found that not even N95 masks provided protection against SARS.
Why doesn’t a single reporter ask Dr Fauci to what study or studies is he referring when he mandated masks?
Reporter?
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

I went to a small grocery store yesterday. The only face I saw was that of the bakery guy who pulled his mask below his chin.
To stop a virus best to look at what the people who work with viruses use an PPE. SCBA (scuba, but not underwater).
Hospitals use Hepa filters + UV lights to sterilize airborne contamination.
The N95 mask stops 95% of particles 10x larger than a virus, and requires a seal.
A simple rule, if you can smell someone's fart, burp, breath, perfume or BO, the mask failed to stop a virus.
time to start farting in mask users faces, for scientific purposes. I will get back to you with the data.
That was not the direction I was thinking, but it really is the medium they claim as "science" (particles suspended in droplets).
Therefore, I cannot fault you for your desire to give people experimentation experience on the effectiveness of their chosen protective equipment.
(Seriously though, if this was real, tossing a mask would carry the same penalty as improper disposal if biohazard waste)
WH Kellogg studied this back in 1920 and found that masks didn't work.

excellent, thank you.
Spanish Flu? That sounds racist!
