I'm interested in unbiased scientific research conducted by entities that are NOT blatantly captured or conflicted. Entities that do NOT have a vested interest in the outcome, and are NOT mere puppets for PharmaCo.
Like I said, lay people trying to claim that because masks might stop some spit droplets flying, this automatically means that they have a significant effect on the transmission of a respiratory virus .... are clutching at over-simplistic assumptions and NOT scientific evidence.
e.g. Apply this "logic" to influenza, and you get the same outcome.... masks must be great, coz they stop the spit drops flying!! BUT, as I quoted, even the WHO concedes that there is NO EVIDENCE to support that masks actually have any significant impact on influenza virus transmission, based on targeted studies including 10 RCTs. Might be counterintuitive to a layperson, but that is why we conduct experiments.
Again, your links to guidelines/articles/FAQ/govt propaganda/conflicted "studies" etc do not provide useful scientific evidence.
...I know the papers require time and effort to find and review... so for starters how about letting a surgeon present a summary for you:
