Help me out here ...


On the one hand you say, "I will decline to wear something that isn't helping anyone."

On the other, you link me to an article allegedly proving your point that has as a headline, "Why you should upgrade your mask as the Omicron variant spreads."

Wen also states in the same article, ""If all you have is a cloth mask, it's still better than nothing ... But you are not well-protected, and you should know that you're not well-protected."

So we're back to the debate about how much better than nothing they are. Are they the best to fight Omicron? Nope. But they're better than nothing. You're taking doctors/studies saying "cloth masks suck -- use this higher-quality surgical mask instead if you want to stay as healthy as you can be" and saying "cloth masks suck, huh? Guess I don't need to wear 'em then!"
