Did you read the study, or just trust some blogger to tell you what it says and give some cherry-picked quotes?
This is in the authors discussion:
"The findings, however, should not be used to conclude that a recommendation for everyone to wear masks in the community would not be effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections, because the trial did not test the role of masks in source control of SARS-CoV-2 infection."
The goal of masks is source control of the infected, not to protect the wearer. This small study with only a <2% infection rate in either arm doesn't prove schit.
Masks may indeed be totally ineffective, but READ THE STUDY before you claim to have proven that.
This blind trust of partisan blogs to digest the news and spoon feed you conclusions is disgusting.
