It's obvious to anyone who paid even the slightest amount of attention to COVID outcomes thatmasks do not work. The evidence against masking is overwhelming, from the decades of studies that confirmed masks did not stop respiratory infections, to years of universal masking failing to stop or even moderately slow the spread of the virus during the pandemic.
But there are a committed few, like Japanese soldiers continuing to fight years after the end of World War II, who are pushing for universal permanent masking.

For those who claim to follow science, their decision to ignore the evidence against masking is humiliating denialism. Akin to arguing against gravity or that the earth revolves around the sun. But in a remarkable feat of self-humiliation, some of the endless maskers wrote a lengthy letter to the World Health Organization that accidentally undermined the entire public health profession, their argument, and their religious leader,Anthony Fauci.

In a new letter to the WHO head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, several mask fanatics, in an effort to promote the use of N95 respirators, claim that surgical masks do not "provide adequate protection against flu-like illnesses including COVID," according toThe Guardian.The letter says that there is "no rational justification remaining for prioritizing or using" surgical masks, because they provide "inadequate protection against airborne pathogens."
Hilariously, one of the organizers of the letter, Professor Adam Finkel of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, also debunked one of the most popular pro-masking arguments. Anyone who argues against masking on social media has come across someone responding, "Well, if masks don't work, why do doctors wear them?" Ignoring, of course, that not all doctors wear masks, only surgeons do.
But Finkel specifically highlights that those masks were never supposed to stop viruses or respiratory infections, but were "invented to stop doctors and nurses from sneezing into the guts and the hearts of patients."
Finkel went further, saying that surgical masks are to respirators as typewriters were to computers. Those masks, he continued, are "obsolete."
So the forever maskers now admit that cloth or surgical masks do not stop airborne viruses. They admit that surgeons do not wear masks to stop respiratory viruses, and that wearing lower-grade masks, the exact type worn by the vast majority of the world for years on end to stop COVID, could not have possiblystopped COVID. Incredible. All the masking we did was never going to work, because surgical masks don't work. According to people pushing for permanent masking.
