In case you don't know what an aerosol is, see the condensation on your

glasses when you "huff" on them to clean them and how quick they become
non-existent.

 Brodie, here is a really quick and easy experiment to disprove your theory.

Do you have a box of tissues handy? You would have to agree that a tissue would be pretty ineffective as a mask wouldn't you?

Take your specs and huff on one lens a couple of times until you see the foggy film from the droplets in your breath. Now cover the other lens loosely with a tissue and do the same. Notice how it gets much less fog?

With that said, I have always taken the view that masks were not very effective in reducing the wearer's risk of infection. They were primarily to protect other people from whatever the wearer may be transmitting. Not perfect but far better than nothing.

Mereditth, you are still not supporting your argument in the same manner that you are asking of Brodie. There is also lots of info in support of Brodie. Why should we believe your assertions and not Brodie.

Hate in the manner you are exhibiting is never reasonable.

 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2014564118   Googling will show a few dozen similar reports by qualified and respected authorities that have been peer reviewed and found to be factual.    Googling masks don't stop viruses or similar will show 0 reports by any qualified or respected authorities to support that argument, there is simply not "lots of info" in support of Brodie by any actual qualified people.
