Why Masks Matter

 From WHO, "Non-pharmaceutical public health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza" (2019):

So if WHO says masks do not work on influenza (which is closely related to COVID-19) and both Fauci and WHO initially discouraged masking, what changed?

Masking tells our elites how afraid we can be made and also signals to the little people who follow rules (unlike Gov. Newsom and Whitmer and ex-President Obama) that they need to go along.
