I've never seen a study that says "wearing a mask can be bad if it causes you to touch your face more." I've seen loads of studies that say that masks work to substantially prevent transmission of viruses, including SARS, the closest cousin to the current threat. At this point, articles that say that masks increase COVID transmission that do not cite legitimate scientific studies should be considered disinformation, and their authors should be considered potential threats to public health and shunned and/or ignored. We are dealing with a virus that does not respect lofty rhetoric and does not negotiate. It can only be defeated through clear thinking and science.
