Sure ...


This is from the CDC ... not funded by a network or organization with a narrative (some would vociferously argue that about the CDC but I digress). Many of the 'studies' are funded by groups who want to push a narrative one way or the other, which is why I relied on the Dutch study (unrelated to US politics) and this paper as it is not a news article. This paper brags about the efficiency of masks but refers to data. The data is in a table on page 5 ... masks reduced spread by less than 2 percent (within the margin of error) over a 100 day period. Pylons brought up some interesting points about how the data was collected but clearly the CDC was willing to rely on it or they wouldn't have published the paper - they just assumed few would look at the data.

The other thing I will say is that if masks were effective, how the hell did we get here? Most people wore masks from last June through early to mid-spring and COVID went wild.
