"The researchers analyzed a population of almost 350,000 people from 600 villages in rural Bangladesh over the period of November 2020 to April 2021. Their findings, which were released Wednesday, found that those who lived in villages where surgical masks were being promoted were 11% less likely than those in control villages to become infected with COVID-19.
And in people over the age of 60, the impact increased to nearly 35%, the report found.

“What I really would like people to take away from this is to see that we have very rigorous and systematic evidence that masks are effective,” said Ashley Styczynski, a lead author on the study and an infectious disease fellow at Stanford. She added: “I think there were many people who have remained doubtful because of the lack of a randomized control trial around this type of question.”

I do not even begin to understand how anyone can believe masks do not have an impact. It's a very simple kind of logic.

The studies show masks do have a slight impact by blocking droplet spray. They do not really protect uninfected people from getting infected and the benefit is almost exclusively with infected people and droplet spray. That said, if you are on a bus or train longer that 15 minutes you probably will still get exposed mask or no. That is to say masks are 90% ineffective and only 10% effective according to studies which I have repeatedly linked. It is also very time dependent.

N95 masks are much, much more effective but they need to be changed every 20 minutes or less and may never be reused.
I wonder what happens to the virus' when the droplets dry out...... LOL!

Wearing a mask is fucking gay and pointless.

It's sooooooooooooo gay to not want to kill someone else.
Then stay home, tramp....cause that mask dont do shit!

Stanford says otherwise. I know you crush on your son-in-law, but I bet he didn't go to Stanford.
You fukin moron, you do know I posted a report from an Ivy League Institution just about a month ago saying the opposite? PWN3D!

I don't care. This is the newest data done on a huge number of individuals.

Your son-in-law didn't go to an Ivy League did he?

Keep dodging...

If a face mask box says that they are not to be used for aerosols, and you disregard it... why should anybody listen to you about these experimental jabs when the literature accompanying them in their cartons are blank?

Drongo!

Mask mandates usually are put in-place as a wave is starting to rise steeply. Then the wave flattens, and then it dips.

So people say "Look, the masks worked!"

But what would have happened if the mask mandates were never put in-place?

The wave would have flattened, then it would have dipped. That is what waves do.
