Lots of people touch their masks when they're wearing them. Studies have actually shown there's increased face touching when someone is wearing a mask. If that person is out shopping, and then is rubbing their face, it's entirely conceivable they get infected because they're wearing a mask. Also conceivable they could infect someone else in the future, that they wouldn't have otherwise infected.
It's not all black and white.
One thing we know for sure though, is that wearing the mask is security theater. Fucking idiots going out into a street with 20,000 other people and pulling down their mask to shout "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE" and they think they're being safe, and the idiots on the TV talk about how safe and peaceful the protests are as people shout germs into each other's mouths while a building burns behind them.
Mask wearing is security theater. I think I saw that it reduces the chances of infecting someone else by like 17% if worn properly. 90% of people don't wear them properly. So yep, not accomplishing shit.
In fact, considering the way you get infected is a large viral load, if you adjust the mask, a huge amount of droplets containing the virus get released as well, which someone can walk into, which means that person gets an hour worth vs 1 second worth. Boom, they're infected, but wouldn't have been infected with the passing 1 second's worth.
17% effective if worn 100% properly. Nobody is doing that.

They do work if a shopper is infected and while walking past me in a crowded mall coughs in my direction.
Just to give one example. Infected shoppers are releasing virus into the air, just as they are in their people's homes, etc.
Then there's bars, subway trains, restaurants, buses, airplanes, massage parlors, etc, etc, etc, where people are in prolonged close contact.
Lots of people not wearing a mask touch their face. Better to touch the mask than touch the face.
Where? On a bathroom stall in your town?
It's not of any importance if they touch their face or not. What matters is if they touch it with unwashed hands in 3 specific areas: their mouth, nose & eyes.
If my face itches & i touch the mask to relieve my face itch, no harm done, unlike without the mask. So in that regard it's actually safer to have a mask on. It protects people who spontaneously scratch an itch.
You saw this on the same bathroom wall again or the ladies room this time?
Wrong again, and ignorant, as usual.
"Covid attaches to mucus and moisture eminating from your mouth and nose. That’s why. It’s got nothing to do with the virus size."
...
"Viruses are way smaller than 1 micron. But they are infused in water droplets you are sneezing out, which are way bigger than 1 micron. That's why the masks work."
...
"Not to mention COVID particles don't travel by themselves. They travel with respiratory droplets as a host and droplets are usually between 5-10 microns."
...
"t's NOT the size of the COVID-19 particle that matters, it's the size of the thing that the COVID-19 particle travels on. And that is your saliva, which is way larger, so an N95 mask can stop that easily."
...
"Viruses are transmitted via droplets which are bigger and will be stopped by a mask"
...
"Viruses aren't transmitted individually travelling through the air; they are transmitted in droplets of saliva and snot which tend to be much bigger than three microns in diameter."
...
"Mannarino gets an unfollow for believing that: a) A politician is a real doctor and b) A @gop
politician believes in science."
...
"Viruses are in water droplets u tool."

Aren't you the least bit concerned about your lack of a life? Have you looked in the mirror and examined the fact that you spam the shit out of a gambling forum with mask-shaming bullshit? Let's say for the sake of argument that everything you say is true...are you thinking you are going to convince anyone here? I would assume no, you just get some kicks out of playing this role. Don't you think that's sad?
(1) Define "a life". Is trolling a life? My few minutes of Rx-ing are up for the day. Onto my other life activities now.
(2)Presenting facts is just that, not "shaming bullshit". Can you see the difference?
(3) Will i "convince anyone" of the truth re masks & thereby save lives? Hopefully. God knows.
I'm honestly just trying to understand your motivation. What makes you tick.
If it's just to get under people's skin, at least own it.
If you're coming here to try to do good and make a difference in the fight against Covid, I don't really know what to say.
But I think it's something else. I think it makes you feel good to reinforce to yourself that you are morally superior to others who you don't even know. And that's fucked up.

Again showing your ignorance and how bereft of scientific proven facts you really are on this subject.
Do yourself a favor and go educate yourself... You are a buffoon to be perfectly honest!
Every statement you posted is 100% SCIENTIFICALLY FACTUALLY WRONG..........
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son
Not one scientifically factual study has proven or shown masks stop the spread of a virus or save lives
Not one, you really need to educate yourself
I have talked with friends who work in the hospitals or do research and all have said masks really do not accomplish anything outside of a medical setting
except to give a false sense of security to the people wearing them.
These are doctors, nurses, researchers, etc...
One of them being an infectious disease doctor, another being a pulmonologist
I would think they would know what they are talking about over you, who has proven you do not know what you are talking about
They say the biggest thing is to social distance and limit being in small enclosed areas for long.
