Why call me a moron? I'm just weighing the evidence. This Danish study from a highly reputable journal states that masks are pretty much useless. 5000 pop sample size.

"The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection."

from your link lol

"Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others."

You could piss in any direction and find a study with conclusive results that masks reduce the rate of infection for covid, or any influenza virus.
