Have you looked at the study itself? From the abstract: “Mask distribution and promotion was a scalable and effective method to reduce symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.” The existence of “debate” doesn’t mean anything. Anti-maskers are alw

That "one study in Bengladesh with masks" involved 342,183 participants and produced clear evidence that masks work. What is the point of more studies if folks are just going to dismiss them out of hand?
