Clearly, you missed this:
> High levels of community masking, including both source patients and exposed people, have been associated with reductions in infections ranging from 10% to 80%, with more protection when there is consistent mask-wearing in high-risk areas such as households.
Not to mention the link in that paragraph, which references 18 studies supporting the effectiveness of masks: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/masking-science-sars-cov2.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...
- VagueMag 4y agoThe CDC is not a credible source on any topics relating to SARS-CoV-2 but in particular masks. They've been churning out junk science on the subject ever since the initial outbreak. "Consistent mask wearing in high-risk areas such as households" just lol, yeah let me wear a mask over my face 24/7 forever so I can maybe catch SARS-CoV-2 six months later than I otherwise would have.
- actually_a_dog 4y agoThe CDC conducted none of the 18 linked studies.
