Masks don't work, but this video is not a good example of that. What you see coming through the mask is water vapor. Water molecules are orders of magnitude smaller than the virus or the droplets it exists in.

That's not even remotely correct. Fog/mist/vapor particles are 10-15 microns. The virus can be as small as 0.06 microns. The fact that you can see the vapor with your own eyes should have given this away.

Except what you are seeing is the moisture condensing after it hits the cold air outside of the mask.

That makes your point even less correct then. If it's 10-15 microns AFTER it condensed, that means it's bigger before it hits the cold air, and it's STILL getting through the mask lol. You tried to say the water particles were orders of magnitude smaller than a virus particle.

When vapor in the air condenses, the individual water molecules collect into a larger droplet, usually around some sort of particulate in the air.
