Studies confirm that N95s effectively protect the individual from SARS-CoV-2 transmission (contrary to all of the misinformation saying otherwise).
If you can afford something fancier, great. My above comment was to differentiate N95s from surgical/cloth masks as well as vaccines, because these latter methods are not enough to stop transmission, and repeated infections increase the risk of Long COVID / PASC complications.

- swed420 3y agoA good starting point is using current data. Your study is from 2020 and is an apples-oranges comparison to my original point. By now the research (as interpreted by experts, not internet randos) have coelesced around the fact that a properly fitted N95 provides the wearer adequate protection against SARS-CoV-2 transmission. There has been a push to drive false information around this basic topic as one of the many tactics to force the "back to normal" behavior that capital demands. Mass media trying to suggest lesser masks (and/or vaccines) are sufficient, resulting in false "all masks don't work" conclusions, etc.
