    Are we really still pretending the mask I got from the front bin of Home Depot actually works?

    Can we look at the other claims the government “scientists” claimed to see how they were not real scientists?

        The issue here is that people pretended masks were very affective, and I have not seen any actual data that they were very useful. I have seen a lot of memes like the one above that pretend they were essential when the only data I ever recall seeing was they were overall 4% useful, by a pro-mask source. And if you look around there are lots of sources that said they did nothing, I dont know which is true, but lack of solid evidence seems to point to it was pointless.

        Do you think masks should have been mandated indoors if they had a 4% impact? How about 0.1%?
