Original Note:
Another note on this tweet cites an article from the first month of the pandemic speculating we do not know if masks or effective or not. That article has been redacted since publication. Data since that article's publication shows masks are indeed effective: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abg6296 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2119266119 https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/09/surgical-masks-covid-19.html
