You have a point, there are definitely dumb people who don't bother to understand the science of masks - but effective (disposable are the easiest to come by) masks do indeed prevent droplets from being expelled from your lungs. Homemade masks are iffy at best, but there are some that would work, using standards like these. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-to-make-cloth-face-covering.html But yeah, generally people should just buy disposable masks they're cheap af.

That's so wildly irrelevant it made me laugh.

Plus, if you had ever talked to an Islamic person you'd know that their religious self expression is about freedom not oppression

That's how modern research is done these days; they need funding from somewhere. But the patrons don't have a say in the conclusions.

If you have done any research yourself you'd know that when hundreds of articles agree that's only a step away from a a meta-analysis - the gold standard in determining statistical significance.

I must have missed when I said crocheted masks were acceptable ?

I did see one at work though. Felt bad for the old dude his wife definitely made it for him. But generally there are standards, as would be the case for the studies.

It's fine, I know reputable sources don't change people's opinions. But just so you know anyone who seriously claims that masks don't work is a total dipshit

Very outdated articles, plus one opinion that I can counter; if someone's wearing a mask they probably believe in science and ie handwashing and not touching the face part as well.

It's more like "you're spreading your disguising mouth germs and could infect people and that's not acceptable to anyone with a quarter of a conscience'

Masks are for protecting other people which is why it's imperative everyone wears them. So put your micropp away and put one on.

Signing blank pieces of paper isn't working. It's staging photos for gullible voters.
