    There is no proof. The CDC has been explicit on that.

    The science is clear. Masks are not effective on aerosols which is how the virus spreads and infects.

    ==> Yet, you claim there is no proof!!

    Sorry. The CDC knows what they are talking about.

    And, they do NOT claim that their call for masks is based on the behavior of 1 micron droplets.

    You're still picking and choosing - and that is anti-science.

    There is no proof that masks are effective on aerosols. And that is backed up by the CDC.

    Once again, 1 micron aerosols are NOT the only issue with communicable disease.

    Why do you insist on picking and choosing what you listen to? That technique is obvious anti-science.

    They are by far the predominant way in which covid is spread. That is the science.

    OK, then CITE that. Cite your proof that 1 micron sized droplets is the major factor in COVID spread.

    I've never seen anyone make that claim so far.

    But, remember that even that would not answer the root question of whether wearing a mask reduces spread.

    People speak, pant from exertion, sneeze, cough, laugh, etc., etc.

    All these cause significant sized droplets that a reasonable mask does block.

    Again, cite something.

    I'm not ready to accept you as a medical expert. So, whatever you say without citation is rubbish.

    My point is that the CDC, WHO, and other serious sources of medical science recommend wearing a mask in order to slow transmission.

    Do you need a cite for that???

    My proof is that people breath normally.

    LOL!!

    No, your position is that people ONLY breath in such a way that the only droplets that emerge from nose and mouth are 1 micron.

    And, that's very obviously BS.

    Beyond that, you then suggest that you know better than the full range of medical science on communicable disease.

    And, that is also very obviously BS.

    That's normal breathing - 1 micron. The vast majority of living people do that 24/7.

    I don't know more but I understand the real science.

    You're still trying to be recognized as smarter than the combined medical sciences of the entire world.

    Forgive me for doubting that!!

    I understand the science by doing my homework. There is no s scientific proof that surgical and cloth masks protect or prevent the spread. The CDC admits that but recommends that people wear masks all the time. That’s an opinion and not based on fact. If you have a reference that provides proof please post it.

    I do my homework by reading the scientific reports. No plans to stop doing that.

    Also, keep in mind that Sweden's infection wave in 2019 was mild. There was more fuel for Covid-19.

    You isolate those with weakened conditions, diabetes, heart lung conditions and obesity, then let the rest use personal judgement. Keep the economy going and work on the vaccination for those that will take it. No mandates. That is how you defeat it.

    It's a lot of virtue signalling and mask shaming.
