#6For the author: The solution is to ask for their sources - not to speculate that it’s all a sham (while conveniently also not providing any data to back up such a claim.)
Meanwhile a single search pulls a possible source for the 80% figure:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...
But talking about that source is inconvenient to the author because it provides ample support over a range of real world and laboratory studies (with both types demonstrating the 80% figure)
But even without looking deeply into this - what motive would the CDC have for making everyone run around in little fabric masks versus the very well known disinformation efforts.
At this stage of the pandemic: the science is abundantly clear - masks work.

Anyone who uses the 2 infected hairdressers as proof masks work has lost all credibility.
Its the kind of scientism that thrives on social media.

I would not have gotten a passing grade in high scool if I had turned that paper in as proof of masking.
Since 2020 any crap, no matter how idiotic, as long as it supports masking, is passed off as science.
Some days reddit clearly leaks into HN.
