Right, I agree with all that. I wanted to express that my prior is high for masks working at least a bit. I find it weird to write as though the burden of proof is on finding solid evidence that they do work. I wouldn’t have commented if the OP had titled the post “We still can’t be certain if masks work.”
There are two separate questions: (1) Should you wear a mask. (2) Should you feel save when you wear a mask and are with other people that wear a mask.
When it comes to (1) the evidence that you need is more lower then for (2).
