Analysis of mask usage

Many cities with very high mask compliance still had terrible infection rates during the height of the pandemic. One of the most masked parts of the country, California, still had trouble dealing with the virus and had terrible overall numbers in Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Why?

Supposedly, masks are not meant to prevent personal infection, but rather to "prevent the spread". When we examine the data in these highly masked areas, we are met with several contradictions that seriously call into question the efficacy and ethics of mask mandates.

Additionally, plastic mask usage has been associated with the inhalation and contamination of lung tissue by micro plastic fibers. Microplastics have been found to be a contributing factor in serious Covid infections and long-Covid symptoms.
