I sometimes hear the phrase it is proven mask do not work.
I challenge that with this section on my site that has an archive of links to studies that PROVE'S masking does work.

N95s work very well, but it must be worn with discipline. It has to be worn in all risky situations.
I haven't had Covid AFAIK. Folks who say masks don't work really mean they don't understand how masks work. Ask how many times they've been sick since 2019.

The Physics of the N95 Face Mask
You’ve seen them a million times. You might be wearing one right now. But do you know how they work to block a potentially virus-carrying respiratory blob?

100% of molecules are not blocked, in fact most gas molecules go through n95 masks. But, the purpose is to block virus and bacteria particles, which are larger; not perfect due to edge leaks, but studies show major reduction, clearly lowers infection transmission

My brother, the earth’s greatest Know-it-all, swears that masks don’t work. He says you can’t fit them snugly enough to keep dangerous molecules(?) out. Is he right? Or how can I argue against him and that belief?
