Folks, don't get your medical advice from the drunk at the end of the bar or anonymous people on social media.
Get your advice from scientists. The virus does not get around by itself. it travels in droplets of moisture that are many times larger than the virus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7579175/), and masks are pretty good at catching those droplets.
The scientists say, for example:
2022 Oct 22 "we challenged different respirators and medical masks on a standardized dummy head with a bioaerosol containing MS2 bacteriophages as virus surrogates. In our experiments, FFP2 respirators showed the highest filtration efficacy 94 ± 4 (SD) % followed by medical masks 93 ± 3 (SD) % and KN95 respirators 90 ± 7 (SD) %. Nevertheless, we found no statistically significant difference between respirators and medical masks in terms of provided protection against infective aerosols. Our findings indicate that both respirators and medical masks provide a high as-worn bioaerosol protection efficacy against virus containing aerosols, and therefore, a very high protection against airborne diseases. Considering the higher comfort, better availability, and lower price of medical masks in contrast to respirators, it is recommendable to use medical face masks especially in low risk situations and in general public." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36317154/
These masks don't catch your breath's aerosolised water vapours, breathing out in the cold demonstrates this clearly. The science pre covid was medical masks don't do squat to combat the spread of a respiratory virus.
What size are the vapour droplets that the virus occupies?
What size are the vapour droplets that get caught and make your mask damp?
What size are the vapour droplets that get through the mask when you can see your breath?
Is it possible some droplets get through and others don't?
if only 10 percent got through would you still get sick?
You sound like one of those "anything that doesn't give me 100% protection is useless" people.
