6 one way, half dozen the other. There are gaps in your mask (or my mask) that the virus can be expelled from or enter and the virus particles and droplets can still go through the fabric.
The argument here is because the mask is 100% effective, doesn't mean it is effective. If it helps even 50% that is more protection than not wearing one.
My issue comes in when we start talking about vaxxed wearing masks, or doubling masks. Will masking up and getting vaxxed provide more protection than either by themselves? Sure, I guess. But that doesn't mean it is needed. I think that is what is getting lost in all this. All of these things will stop the spread of the virus to some degree. But whether it is actually needed or not either isn't explained very well or not being taken into consideration.
