"There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that masks reduce the infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 and the severity of Covid-19... suggestion that masks offer an alternative ... implicitly encourages reckless behavior." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2030886#.X-s4h9SlOsg.twitter
But then, new science happened just 7 weeks later! https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1246210376351592448?s=20
But of course, he wasn't the only medical professional to initially say don't be foolish.

May 2020: "We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection ... In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
So leftists changed their strategy but kept the masks. You now wear a mask not to protect yourself, but *to protect others* from yourself. Which would make sense if this applied so sick people (all infectious people, not just COVID), but they're applying it to healthy people.
Why healthy people? Because "science"! And questioning science leads to being excommunicated.
But what if you're healthy AND you received the vaccine or immunity from beating COVID? You must still wear a mask! Because "science".
Turns out "science" is more like strict religion.
