CDC release study on masks during covid. Efficacy is 0.5-1.9 percent.

[Inverted2]

But good thing we banned plastic drinking straws. All those millions and millions of Covid masks in the ditches and parking lots are recyclable and/or biodegradable right?

The CDC data shows masks to be highly effective in reduction of Covid deaths. They cite several studies

You started this whole thread saying masks are only 1.9% effective. That is a misrepresentation of the study findings.

The study found that 100 days after a mask mandate, death growth rates fell from 2.8% to .9% - a 1.9 percentage rate reduction - almost a 70% improvement!

See Table 1 in the study you posted when starting this thread.

Every study you source supports masks.

Look who follows the same science as you!

Mask for life!

Question, why is Quebec not doing 70 percent better than Ontario with their mandatory masking… why is it the libitards want to bring masking back?

No comment on your grossly misinterpreted conclusion? Just more deflection with a libtard thrown in for good measure.

It all depends on what kind of medical mask you use. Surgical masks and respirators are much more effective at preventing infection with respiratory infections, including influenza and coronavirus. Unlike the usual three-layer mask, there are four layers in the surgical. There is also a filter and an anti-liquid layer between the inner and outer ones. Due to these internal inserts, the surgical mask is safer. And respirators have special protective filters. Thus, masks with improved protection are very effective in protecting against infections.
