Teh Feeeeelzzz-Good Mask

All it ever was was "Feeeeeelzzzz Good" for Karens and other dim-bulbs like teachers and officious little assholes in various governments.

...a new peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of N95s versus surgical masks, considered the midrange of protection, is undermining the late federal pivot to higher-quality masks and calls to reimpose mask mandates in schools, among other settings.

Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (AIM) this week and led by researchers at Canada's McMaster University, the study found no statistically significant difference in protection between the two kinds of masks in healthcare facilities in Canada, Israel, Pakistan and Egypt. 

Funders included the Canadian government and World Health Organization, which unlike the U.S. opposes masking young children and also found "no evidence" face coverings made a difference against influenza in a 2019 study....

So:

1)  The type of mask makes no difference.

2)  Masks are useless against CoVid.

Which anyone with common sense knew 2 years ago.
