It travels in bioaerosols. Even aerosols are too small to filter with a mask.

A filter on car exhaust would absorb a lot of pollutants and disperse the stream making it much less hazardous to the people nearby.

The use of mask in closed environments is effective in reducing the risk of transmission and contagion of a contaminated bioaerosol, with greater effectiveness when these devices are used by the source and receiver, regardless of the equipment’s filtering power.

“What the World Health Organization [WHO] and the CDC [The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] have reaffirmed in the last few days is that they do not recommend the general public wear masks.”

He then explained the reasons why.

“On an individual level, there was a study in 2015 looking at medical students and medical students wearing surgical masks touch their face on average 23 times,” Adams explained. “We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face so wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease.”

Adams went on to say that wearing a face mask “can also give you a false sense of security." He added that "you see many of these pictures with people out and about closer than six feet to each other, but still wearing a mask.”

Then he cited a scientific study from the NE journal of medicine to prove it.
Where is the study proving that study wrong? It does not exist because they told the truth the first time. Masks do more harm than good.

Please cite the study yourself.

At the time Adams was concerned about professionals being unable to get masks.

Before there were mask requirements or recommendations or candle tests or homemade mask drives, in the very early days of the pandemic, the U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams published what would become a notorious tweet: "Seriously people — STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if health care providers can't get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!"

As the supply increased and science emerged showing masks were effective in stopping the spread of the virus, Adams encouraged the use of masks.

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams:

From a scientific point of view, it's important for people to know that masking isn't the be-all and end-all, but it is incrementally effective as a public health mitigation measure in helping to slow the spread of the virus.

Yes, we all know he lied.
Where is a scientific study that contradicts the study he gave us when telling the truth the first time? There is none. They made it up and provided no proof.

I am quoting the true statements he made before he lied to you. He provided a scientific study proving they do more harm than good. Then he lied claiming masks worked with nothing to prove his true statement wrong.

Why do you believe admitted liars to not lie to you again? Do you expect Trump to tell the truth after lying too? Do you only believe democrat liars?

You are quoting someone you admit is a retard and a liar.

If you want to quote his source then quote his source. I’ve given you very clear reference information for my sources.

Does it prove a change in human behavior?
Did people stop touching their masks excessively? If not you have proven nothing.
