Really, that’s the best you can do? Then again I guess as bad as it sounds, it’s still the best option for you. Because otherwise you would have to come to the realization that masks are truly not a very effective way of slowing the spread...

The exact opposite of what you have said. Masks most certainly do work as source control. That is really all those home made and surgical masks are efficient at. As protection for the wearer, there is little protection which is what I have read.
I will never ever believe that masks are useless. I've seen too many YouTube videos which prove to me the science behind containing droplets and aerosols. Yes, those masks do contain aerosols. I've seen the documentation with my own two eyes how effective those home made and surgical masks are.
Doctors in operating rooms have been wearing surgical masks forever. The reason is for source control, not for their protection. Same for every day folks in and about their day to day life, there has been and continues to be a very urgent need to control aerosol and droplet transmission of the virus. There are variants out there that were not tested initially in the trials for these current mRNA vaccines.
As an aside..........The manufacturers of these mRNA vaccines have claimed that their vaccines will not allow the variants to escape, just not at that high rate of efficacy as has been previously found in trials.
PS.....I am not going to post videos any further on this site. I have posted too many to count that demonstrate, beyond a shadow of a doubt that masks are useful as source control when worn properly over the NOSE and mouth. Those infrared cameras do not lie. If you don't believe the proof in the videos, then there is not hope for anyone who believes differently.
LETS AGREE TO DISAGREE. I COULD NEVER COME AROUND TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING.
