afaik primary way the virus spreads is being carried by water droplets in exhalation.

masks do significantly limit that because they block vast majority of the moisture when a person exhales.

Respiratory droplet transmission is the usual route for respiratory infections. Transmission can occur when respiratory droplets reach susceptible mucosal surfaces, such as in the eyes, nose or mouth. This can also happen indirectly via contact with contaminated surfaces when hands then touch the face. Respiratory droplets are large and cannot remain suspended in the air for long, and are usually dispersed over short distances.[14] The size of the particles for droplet infections are > 5 μm.[12]

(yes I know wikipedia is a cucked source, but the part I quoted is a very basic part of medicine that is accepted and known worldwide)

In fact the first red-pill my family had about governments through the west mishandling the infection is when they first said

"Its a coronavirus.... but masks don't help'

back when this pandemic was only starting, because that was such a clear and blatant lie flying in the face of how these types of viruses spread.

that said, mask use should be limited to situations of close contact with a lot of people or with the people who are in high-risk. Wearing them all the time as many are suggested is just bullshit, because there are some studies that hint that they might have negatively impact on the wearer's health if worn for long periods.

wikipedia is not a trustworthy source of information. If you use it at all, I recommend looking at the source they cite at the bottom of the page and look at those instead.
