Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids. There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

Unlike pfizer, J&J and moderna the mask companies aren’t free from lawsuits so they need to disclose this important information before some one sued them because as we all know masks do shit.

so they need to disclose this important information

That's why packagings are clearly stating the masks don't protect from coronaviruses.

You would think little things like this would wake people up, at least get them to ask questions. Considering many nations are becoming more and more tyrannical, and this shit show is affecting many people’s lives the NPCs would start looking into this themselves wondering, “why am i letting my rights get taken away?” Or “why are people not dropping dead like the Chinese propaganda earlier last year?”

They will never admit they were wrong. The denial is too strong.

It doesn't matter if people know it's bullshit, the laws still exist.
