Masks are also extremely effective in exposing dissidents. Who dares to stand up against the state? There’s one, right over there. Shame on them. Shun them. Arrest them. That’s how masks really “work”, and that’s why the Public HealthTM types love them.
The dirty secret is this: Masks don't work by controlling the virus.
If we're talking about stoking fear, instilling blind obedience to state authorities, sowing discord between citizens, and publicly "Outing" skeptics and dissidents - in other words, creating an authoritarian, even totalitarian system of public health - then masks work very well indeed.
MASKS DON'T WORK AT CONTROLLING THE VIRUS. By this late date, it has been established beyond honest scientific doubt that masking is ineffective at stopping the contraction and spread of COVID-19.
At a population level, the latest Cochrane meta-analysis of the available randomized, controlled trials surrounding masking and respiratory viruses concluded that "Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks."
MASKS DO WORK AT CONTROLLING PEOPLE. The entire Public HealthTM enterprise in the West has a strong political and authoritarian impulse built into it from its very conception.
For the very real Public HealthTM purpose of unquestioning obedience, masks work very well indeed.
That's how masks really "Work", and that's why the Public HealthTM types love them.
