Original Note:
Saying "Masks do not work" fundamentally differs from saying "Mask mandates do not work" The opinion is arguing against mandates, not masks: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub6/full There is plenty of evidence that masks, when worn properly, are effective at reducing spread, less so at protecting the wearer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7185834/pdf/nn0c03252.pdf https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9069 https://www.nytimes.com/article/covid-masks-protection-stats.html
