"At 5 and 9 weeks follow-up, we surveyed all reachable participants
about COVID-related symptoms. Blood samples collected at 10-12 weeks of follow-up for
symptomatic individuals were analyzed for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies."
From the study: "“Unfortunately, much of the conversation around masking in the United States is not evidence-based,” Luby said. “Our study provides strong evidence that mask wearing can interrupt the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. "
"Strong Evidence..." When you run the numbers from the article (anyone have a link to the actual study?) you find there were a whopping 107 positive COVID cases in the control group, and 92 positive COVID cases in mask group. Out of 342,126 people.

Paint particles are much larger than viruses - it makes a very good pointI dont know if paint and virus comparison is valid enough to use the video for an argument. The reality however is that masks won't stop spreading (perhaps reducing but scared people should just stay home), lets not forget the fact that people wear the wrong masks and even if they do, wear it wrong. So this whole mask wearing thing for the most part is just a unessecary circus show.
