Not the prevailing medical opinion at the time of mask purchase. The effectiveness of masks in stopping the spread of COVID-19 has been a topic of ongoing research and debate. . A notable review by Cochrane, published in March 2023, concluded that the evidence from randomized controlled trials was uncertain about whether mask interventions in the community help slow the spread of respiratory illnesses. . However, it's important to note that this does not mean masks are ineffective. Other studies and expert opinions suggest that masks, especially high-quality ones like N95s, can significantly reduce the amount of virus inhaled and thus lower the chances of infection. The science is nuanced, and while masks may not be 100% effective, they do offer meaningful protection when used properly.

Here is a list of studies and sources to reference on the effectiveness of masking.
•    Research shows that under most circumstances, mask wearing has no significant adverse health effects on the people who wear them (CDC, 2021).
•    Masks are primarily intended to stop people from spreading droplets that contain the virus, which is especially important people who are asymptomatic or presymptomatic. These people may feel well and may not know they are infectious (CDC, 2021).
•    While all masks provide some level of protection, properly fitting masks provide the highest level of protection. Wearing a highly protective masks are important for certain higher-risk situations, or for some people at increased risk for severe disease (CDC, 2022).
•    Community mask wearing is an effective non-medical way to reduce the spread of this infection. It is effective in preventing someone from spreading or getting the virus (JAMA Network).
•    Face masks can be safely worn by all children 2 years of age and older, including the vast majority of children with underlying health conditions, with rare exception (AAP, 2022).
