Original Note:
Fact-check articles do explain why: the Spectator article claimed "wearing masks in the community does not significantly reduce the rates of infection". But the study only looked at whether masks protected mask-wearers. It did not assess whether mask-wearing protected others. https://fullfact.org/health/danish-mask-wearing-spectator/
