masks do NOT work. Not unless you are wearing at least an N-95 or better mask. More fear-mongering in an election year, surprise surprise. Do not forget to get your lovely vaccines.

This article is about the UK ... God this shows how much you were ready to just jump at conspiracy theories.

- N95 work the best but that doesn't mean other masks do nothing. They still very much reduce risk
- this is an article about the UK. Election years aren't really quite a thing in the UK as the UK parelement's elections are called whenever the ruling party/coalition calls it as long as it's within a certain time frame (in this case by 2025) and it's highly unlikely for them to call for sooner than they have to as the Torries aren't exactly polling well

Not to mention that it's absolutely clear to everyone involved that the results of the next UK election is largely already decided and that stuff like this isn't going to move the needle either way.

Stfu liberal. Uh oh, only n95s work, guess we can’t tell anyone to do anything. Not to mention that’s completely untrue, pretty much any mask is better than nothing.

Let's fix your incorrect comment: "Masks prevent the spread of communicable diseases, especially N-95 masks."
The existence of viruses is not fear-mongering. You don't believe in the flu either? Staph? E. Coli? Is your ignorance limited to just one virus, or all of them?

Are you just going to attempt vague untruths or would you care to be a little more specific in your falsities?

Nobody needs more misinformation from you. Thanks for the offer, though.

Good, nobody wants any more from you.

You're looking at PPE one-dimensionally. The most effective use of PPE is combined with other types of PPE, as well as additional precautions and safe habits. Masks ALONE aren't saving shit. A vaccine ALONE isn't making you infallible.
This is basic OSHA shit that everyone should at least realize where it applies to work. It carries over into your everyday. I've got a HAZWOPER certification I have to keep up every year, so it's something ingrained at this point.
