the audacity of this lady to question those working in SCIENCE!?!?!?!?!? who does she think she is????

but seriously, masks make it worse for "immunocompromised" individuals, as they do for everybody else.

unless you are within 1-1.5ft. from someone getting sneezed on, they are useless (and that's just for the very large droplets). or a doctor dealing with droplets during surgery.

they don't stop microscopic organisms from spreading. they don't stop you from inhaling or exhaling them.

exhale a cigarette or vape through them... the mask stops NOTHING from passing through either way.

now imagine what they filter when you inhale & exhale normally... 10-15x LESS EFFECTIVE than the cigarette smoke & vapes

they also create issues with mold & fungus.

it's stupid to wear them outside of professionally sanitized areas (surgical rooms) & people should feel stupid wearing them at all other times... ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE & ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS 95* OUT.
