bighairymike: Perfect description of the mask nazi's.

How is masking related to 'charlatan power'. Multiple studies have demonstrated that masks reduce transmission of COVID-19:

We find that population mask wearing notably reduced SARS-CoV-2 transmission (mean mask-wearing levels corresponding to a 19% decrease in R). We use the largest wearing survey (n = 20 million) and obtain our estimates from regions across six continents. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.10...

Blood tests showed the overall reduction in symptomatic infection to be 9%, with the most vulnerable group (ages 60+) seeing a decrease of 35% for those wearing surgical masks. https://egc.yale.edu/largest-s...

Do face masks work? Here are 49 scientific studies that explain why they do. https://www.kxan.com/news/coro...


And speaking of Nazis, I'll be a grammar Nazi here and point out that Nazis is plural, not possessive, so no apostrophe, please.
