There is no RCT that shows cloth masks work any better than no mask. You’re relying on mechanistic studies at best (or crappy associative studies).

Masks incur costs; at a minimum you must admit they alter risk appraisal if nothing else.

Anyway, nobody in this thread has addressed the point that masks don’t even work in theory if aerosol transmission is the dominant transmission mode. That’s before accounting for the incredible cross contamination and misuse of masks that you see in the community.
