[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A large-scale “gold standard” controlled, randomized international study on face masks shows surgical masks *are* effective against COVID.  Stop saying masks don’t work, they do.

And here’s yet another scientific study that was published last month.

The central Florida study simply says the distance particles travel is less (when masks are properly fitted). So, if children are still within that distance, masks are not preventing particles.  That weighed with the negative impact on masking children, makes it reasonable that a parent would not want to mask their child.  That parent is not a bad person. Nor is the parent who chooses to stunt the speech, language, and emotional development by masking their child because that is less bad than COVID. At least the masked child will get the behefits of seeing an unmasked children talk, smile, and read. [/quote]

If masks inhibit Covid practices from circulating in an indoor settings, mask mitigate covid.  Thus, all these studies SUPPORT the value of masks for covid mitigation purposes.    On the plop side, the negative effects of masks you cite are merely anecdotal.  [/quote]
