So masks don't work even in a surgery? That sounds like pure nonsense, but I am happy to change my mind. How about a source for that study of 3,089 surgeries?

“The rate of wound infections [while unmasked] was less than half what it was when everyone wore masks.”

Tellingly from the study, "It would appear that minimum contamination can best be achieved by not wearing a mask at al but operating in silence..." implies that the masks stop contamination when people are talking. Because ordinary people do talk, and talk a lot, is there anywhere a study specifically for Covid that compares a population of mask wearers with a population of non-maskers?
