The second link I posted was co-authored by the director of the CDC. The others are reviews of current evidence that are readable and reputable. There are abundant studies on this subject. Here is what the WHO actually has to say about masks (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/question-and-answers-hub/q-a-detail/q-a-on-covid-19-and-masks https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...): > “ Masks are a key measure to suppress transmission and save lives. Masks reduce potential exposure risk from an infected person whether they have symptoms or not. People wearing masks are protected from getting infected. Masks also prevent onward transmission when worn by a person who is infected.” > ” Within wider environments where the virus is spreading, masks should be worn by the general public in settings where it is not possible to maintain at least 1 meter from others. Examples of these settings include indoor locations that are crowded and have poor ventilation, public transport and places of high population density – among others.” Also, masks are not “plague vectors”. Best practice (from WHO) is to clean the mask daily: > ” If your fabric mask is not dirty or wet and you plan to reuse it, put it in a clean plastic, resealable bag. If you need to use it again, hold the mask at the elastic loops when removing it from the bag. Clean your mask once a day.” Your rant is not really worth addressing further. Find a better way to spend your time than spreading obvious misinformation.

My rant? The Swedish epidemiological team didn't think your ideas were worth addressing at ALL! If there are abundant studies on the subject why can't you produce ONE actual SCIENTIFIC PAPER? P.R. webpages, opinion pieces, anecdotal evidence from random "experts", are not science! You would fail my high school science class with the weak citations you've produced so far. Because you can't. Because you're wrong. Yet you sit there in your smug arrogance patting yourself on the back for giving it to the 'dermb anti-merskers'..... All the while we have more deaths per capita than Sweden and Norway both who had no mask mandates and who haven't had significant numbers of corona deaths in months. Meanwhile 75% or more of Americans support mask usage and we're entering a third wave of Coronavirus. Might be useful to re-evaluate who is spreading the disinformation about putting plague vectors directly onto their respiratory tracts and killing people. Thalidomide was supported by a ton of health experts too until the flipper children started showing up. Oh and that oopsie Tuskegee study! Other than that though!
