In my experience, maskers don't believe masks offer foolproof protection against COVID, but that they cut down on the COVID-filled droplets floating through the air. In their view, "even if just saves one life," it's worth it for billions of us to impede our own breathing for over a year. Nevermind the problems the masks might cause as we're deprived of fresh air, breathing in mask-trapped pathogens all day.
Yeah, TPTB really covered all their bases when they dropped the "cuts down on droplets" bullshit into the Zeitgeist. Run into this argument pretty frequently, and usually from the type of person who is qualified to know better, and under other circumstances would realize it's bullshit.
They know how to manipulate both sheep and midwits.
