> it was a blatant lie to keep the PPE for medical workers. Can you post a link to the published studies that you think CDC / WHO should have been using to in

  You're saying masks don't work at all and there is little reason to wear them even in a medical setting? I don't want to say that's impossible that we're doing something widely despite it being ineffective - because that does happen. But the burden of proof is on you if you want to make such a strong claim against the consensus view, and I reject your attempt to foist it on me. Probably you'll counter that you're just talking specifically about the public using masks to prevent covid19, and I agree the evidence to support that is thin. But that's to be expected, because it's also new. Again we have good reason to suspect that if masks work at preventing spread of respiratory illness in a medical setting, they should work for the public with covid19 too. So if you want to claim that, again the burden of proof is on you to make a strong case against the consensus view of the general efficacy of masks in preventing spread of respiratory illness.
