The left isn't taking this well...at all. And they're especially mad at the judge...😉😎😂

I hate pointing this out every time someone makes this comment but the masks were never about blocking individual viruses. Viruses do not just float around in the air on their own. The masks block some percentage of aerosolized spit and mucus from infected patients, in theory preventing those particles from spreading as far and infecting others. Even if masks aren't 100% effective, they're not 0% effective because clearly some of your cough or sneeze is not going to make it through.
Sorry to jump on you but I heard Gorka say the same thing today and I'm just sick of this stupid misleading point.
The masks only stop spit and mucus globules, not aerosols. Being polite about sneezing generally is an accepted preventive measure. Aerosols are much smaller than the weave of the masks. Besides which, in order to breathe at all, there has to be an airflow around the edges of the mask, both inhale and exhale. So, guess what? That's the path for any aerosols. Or your mask is to damn tight you cannot even breathe.
But let's say you have the all-tight mask and are maskingly perfect. You are still a dead goose, because you can be infected through the exposed corneas of your eyes. So, they also said you must wear GOGGLES. Of course, no one is wearing goggles. That is too hard a sell. So the mask is useless without goggles and therefore is only a PLACEBO. Who do we give patients placebos? Because they are PLACATED (thus the name). "Do something!" they say. Okay, take two of these and call me in the morning (or wear this useless mask).
Don't start defending masks unless you are willing to insist on goggles.
Well, potentially, a mask breeds microbes in its warm, damp fibers and potentially gives you pneumonia. So, yes, it does something.
If it does not protect the eyes...it is useless. If it cannot stop the flow of aerosols (and it doesn't), it is useless. All this nonsense about constructing a safe bubble around yourself is useless. Better to keep your vitamin C and D levels up, take zinc supplements, and have access to hydroxychloroquine.
You think there is a "science" about the masks? Then what is the performance metric? What number does it have and what does that number correlate with regarding risk of infection? You are not going to find it. The studies I have read end up as a push: maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. That's not science. That's wishful thinking.
