The highest level of scientific evidence over the last 100 years clearly demonstrates that masks do not stop the spread of respiratory viruses in the community, and not only that, they put our health at risk.
With so much emphasis on masks, it would be easy to assume that there is strong science supporting mask policies. Strangely, there is not strong scientific evidence for masks preventing respiratory viruses. To quote the researchers themselves, the data in favor of masks is "weak," "lacking statistical significance," and "low certainty of evidence." On the other hand, the research that concluded masks don't prevent respiratory viruses is abundant, high quality of evidence, consistent across numerous studies
