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.

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.
