A: Not the deadliest in terms of survival chance
B: Some of those might be safer, but we would have needed many billions of them which was not realistic. Some better mask types were more common later on but also had lower availabilty.
C: Their purpose was to keep spit/water particles in, instead of out
Humourless person
Fucking moron.
That was the most concise summary of the OP 😂
Don’t tell me you think this mask can save you from virus. If so, then you are real moron 😂
That mask wasn’t meant to save YOU, it’s meant to save OTHERS from you as it redirects your breath to the sides instead of into peoples faces.
Please lick more toilet seats, please, please, please, please, let the pathogens take you over, they will have a much better life with those resources.

Well OP, we did all we can, but I’m afraid we didnt manage to fix your brain.

Covid was not the deadliest virus in history and nobody made that claim. It was however contagious enough to create a pandemic and sufficiently deadly to be a big problem.

Those masks don’t protect the weather and are not meant to. If you want to protect yourself you would use a N95 respirator and some kind of face shield to protect from water droplets. But you would obviously not mention that because then this meme would not make sense.
On your second point, the Mayor Clinic states explicitly that masks protect the wearer from getting infected by other people. The NIH says the same, as does the CDC. Besides that, N95 masks were quite difficult to get during the pandemic. I never saw them for sale. The closest I found was KN95, which are made to a more lax standard and difficult for me to breathe through.
Fair enough they seem to give some protection to wearer if you wear it properly, but still way less protection than an N95 respirator. As you said the main reason people wear masks over N95 is because of price and availability.

It’s almost like these are different situations or something.
FFP3 masks are also fine for radioactive dust, but what do I know
OP, you know you were VERY free to use any of the other options, yes? The thing is that billions of people had to be provided with some kind of protection. It’s too expensive to give the most ideal mask to everybody, you find a compromise between adequate protection and cost - and you also implement other protective measures, such as social distancing and lockdowns, to compensate. Which, I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, is what happened.
This isn’t reddit
Wasn’t the 1918 “Spanish” flu (Kansas actually) the deadliest virus?
Black Death was bacterial….
