I don’t think anyone can say for certain that it’s the masks that made the flu season a non event. The flu spreads more readily in the winter cause people are inside and closer together. During CoVID people social distanced and many even isolated themselves. Keep in mind too that hand washing plays a huge role in reducing the spread of the flu. Many who didn’t before are now are diligently hand washing and desensitizing everything they touch. The role of mask wearing in reducing the numbers is highly over rated IMO.
