But Peter van Onselen forgot to present any evidence that they work. Not a single citation.
South Korea continues to see record high case numbers, despite 99% mask compliance and 85% of their entire population being vaccinated, which is odd because I’ve been told by CNN experts that masks prevent infections and that an 85% vaccination rate would get us past COVID pic.twitter.com/qwahthJ6KQ

Flawed argument unmasks hypocrisy and irrationality.
It’s a visual symbol of government control of the masses. Forget actual stuff like evidence.
they sure do, mainly give the stupid and fearful something to believe in ; “Saved, thank the CHO, Saved”. Religions need their Icons and Holy Relics. The purchase and wearing of a mask is a modern day Indulgence. (non Catholics, Google Indulgence , Middle Ages).
Pvo is a total wanker.
You must wear masks because it appears that Omicron is 4 to 5 times less lethal than Delta. Which means you’re 4 to5 times less likely to die from something that had close to a 99% survival rate.
Get your mask on quick.
They have at the very best negligible effect.
I see PVO trots out the flawed old seatbelt comparison, which has been effectively demolished as the nonsense it is by others.
PVO seems to be completely ignorant of physics and SI units. A blue paper mask probably has a pore size of 10μm. A bat crud virus is 0.1μm. In area terms: one ten thousandth the size. So a paper mask is like a soccer player aiming at a whole string of adjacent soccer goals with no goalies defending any of them. Yep maybe he hits a post once in a while, but realistically he gets through more than 99 times out of a hundred even if he wears a blindfold. It’s like trying to stop mosquitos with a three strand barbed wire fence.
And as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Masks serve two purposes:
They give our rulers an idea of how many of the proles still believe their bullshit, and
They create and sustain fear.
People who write articles like this are just using masks as a class marker. “we love masks because we are intellectual, devout and socially conscious and you, proles, are not, so you need to be corrected and you will be forced”. The ability to force them onto the mass of people shows which class is in power over the masses.
That’s why the establishment tools all fall over themselves demanding the government order them onto the people at every opportunity.
