Sorry but not sorry......they do NOT protect anyone. If you want to restrict your O2 and increase your CO2 feel free to do so. The organisms that they're supposed to protect anyone from are vastly smaller than any mask material.
N95s are, effectively, charged with static electricity, which does allow them to pull extremely small things out of the air.
I'm not saying (and never did say) that it would necessarily prevent sickness, I was just saying that the one person wearing a mask is actually wearing something that does something rather than the 3 layers of t-shirt or blue paper BS that most were wearing.
Back during mask season, in the handful of times I actually had to wear a mask (doctor visits, and a couple clients that forced it), I used one of those stretchy neck things that's for like sand or dust or whatever. Made sure to stretch it thin enough for people to see my mouth and let me breathe properly.
That's true of cloth masks and the blue papery ones. N95s are different.
