Masks may or may not reduce transmission at a statistically significant rate, but what will significantly decrease trust in experts is pretending that the science is absolutely unified in asserting that masks are effective tools in the fight against the pandemic.

THERE IS NO FIGHT AGAINST THE PANDEMIC We do not have a government or society that functions well enough that it could go from 10 cases to 0; we certainly don't have one that can go from hundreds of thousands of cases to zero rather than to herd immunity.

We can't do contact tracing because we have anarcho-tyranny that can't stop scam phone calls We can't control borders because then Trump might control borders in a bad way We can't forcibly isolate the sick because that would have disparate impact Etc.

There's no possible collective action because liberalism is utterly and totally failed and fighting the pandemic is a collective action problem. Individuals just have to choose their own appetite for risk.
