masks do NOT work. Not unless you are wearing at least an N-95 or better mask. More fear-mongering in an election year, surprise surprise. Do not forget to get your lovely vaccines.

N95 work the best but that doesn't mean other masks do nothing. They still very much reduce risk
this is an article about the UK. Election years aren't really quite a thing in the UK as the UK parelement's elections are called whenever the ruling party/coalition calls it as long as it's within a certain time frame (in this case by 2025) and it's highly unlikely for them to call for sooner than they have to as the Torries aren't exactly polling well
