Why are we still being forced to wear masks when the data shows they don't work

A randomized controlled trial of over 3000 people found that mask wearers and non mask wearers contracted covid at roughly the same rates with no statistically significant difference between groups as reported in The Annals of Internal Medicine, hardly a controversial publication journal.
"Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers"

Another study found that masks block almost all fluid particles but enough still escape to be infectious.
“Can face masks offer protection from airborne sneeze and cough droplets in close-up, face-to-face human interactions? A quantitative study”

So why, when the politicians go on and on about listening to the scientists, they completely ignore the actual findings of scientists?

Because liberals are adherents to the religion of scientism where they don’t actually think. They just follow unquestionably the words of their high priests - corrupt politicians and useful idiots.

Have you even read the study?
A possible 95% CI 23-46% reduction

"The findings, however, should not be used to conclude that a recommendation for everyone to wear masks in the community would not be effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections, because the trial did not test the role of masks in source control of SARS-CoV-2 infection. During the study period, authorities did not recommend face mask use outside hospital settings and mask use was rare in community settings (22). This means that study participants' exposure was overwhelmingly to persons not wearing masks."

Its literally in the fking text you use as a source
I get it that not every miscer has a scientific background, but dont quote chit you dont understand

They don’t care about the science unless they can twist it to sound like it supports their beliefs. You’ve already seen how illogical they are about literally everything, so do you really expect these retards to stop at this point?

I got covid in November. I was like no way this is covid so still went to work all week where nobody wears a mask, was around my family all week without a mask. Not a single person from work or home got it. And I was sitting pretty close to people, talking for long periods of time. Then I got tested, was shocked it was positive, and went full quarantine. Looking back I feel retarded af potentially exposing others but at the same time mind was blown that nobody else got it.

Nice source. 100% guarantee if you link the actual source it doesn’t say everyone wearing a mask doesn’t help slow the spread.
