Actually I'm an engineer who understands statistics. The only randomized study that I'm aware of tracked over 3000 people and concluded that wearing a mask reduced transmission by 0.3% (basically zero). The number allowed the researchers to conclude at 95% confidence interval that the "real" effect of a mask is between -1.2% to +0.4%. In other words, in the best mask study published (that I'm aware of) the authors concluded with 95% confidence that masks have basically zero effect on transmission, positive or negative. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
I'll ask again: Regardless of your credentials, do you know of any study showing a statistically significant reduction in covid transmission by healthy people wearing a mask?
Limitation:
Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.
limitation basically says the whole study was pointless to begin with
yet you took that to mean conclusive evidence masks don't work
you're not a doctor. "to the best of your knowledge" means absolutely nothing
