Their efficiency at stopping the spread is extremely small, and the whole debate takes energy away from things that actually work that we should be doing instead.
Masks are virtue-signaling talismans at best, just look at how people are actually using them.

I agree though they are contributing arguably more harm than good now by encouraging people to feel safe making unnecessary contact.
