Ещё антимасочное

Оказалось, что cloth masks are completely useless so that Europeans are banning them in planеs and surgical masks are only ~10% effective (for unvaccinated people).

Интуитивно, мне кажется, что для вакцинированных установить статистически достоверный эффект хоть каких-то масок не удастся.

Was it based on this study or some other considerations?

In the study, surgical masks prevented one in three symptomatic infections among community members 60 years and older.

One thing that puzzles me is why it only works for 50+ age group.

When the data doesn't make sense you have to doubt the data.

And, of course, younger people must wear masks anyway ;)

There could be different reasons. For example, compliance could be better with older people.

Unfortunately, if we have a mask mandate, it should be for everyone, even if they don't get much benefit from it personally. There is simply no practical way of having a mask mandate for 60+ age group.
