there's no evidence supporting it protects anyone.Yeah, about that:I’m good friends with a doctor and 7 nurses. Their entire careers concerning masks has been training to wear it to protect yourself from things flying up at you (blood, tissue) from flying into your mouth. Nothing to do with a virus. They all say this mask thing is BS.What virus exists in operating rooms? This should be good!What an incredibly stupid thing to say.There’s no virus in an operating room
They all should be fired. Operating masks - not only used in case of operations - protect first of all their patients. But it exist much more systems of protection for patients, nurses and doctors. In general the problem is not only to avoid the probability of an infection. The intensity of the first contamination is also important.
The results of the relatively simple trial reported here could easily be repeated and it would be interesting to see whether comparable results are obtained in emergency, orthopaedic, or other general surgical theatres. The finding that there was an appreciable fall in the wound infection rate when masks were not worn certainly warrants further investigation. This trial was designed only to see whether wound infection increased, as had been predicted, when masks were not worn. It did not. The conclusion is that the wearing of a mask has very little relevance to the wellbeing of patients undergoing routine general surgery and it is a standard practice that could be abandoned.
? What do you say here. That a doctor should operate you against lege artis without using a mask?

However, a Cochrane review found that there is no clear evidence that disposable face masks worn by members of the surgical team would reduce the risk of wound infections after clean surgical procedures.[49]
