Can you post a link to just 1?there is such a long list of peer reviewed publications out there showing they don't work.

They don't work because many peer reviewed publications have proven they don't work. I can provide a link to selected publications but it would be a very long post. I see people wearing them incorrectly everywhere I go. On their foreheads, under their noses, holding or touching them with their fingers, positioned under the chin etc. Many of them look like they are already filthy. It's quite disgusting in fact. The virus particles are so tiny they can easily pass through cloth masks and surgical masks even N95 masks. They were never designed for use in general public. The ones people are using are also of poor design quality and provide no seal. I'm amazed the number of people that have bought into this bunkum when there is such a long list of peer reviewed publications out there showing they don't work. Its akin to snake oil. It is irresponsible of decision makers to suggest this policy as it gives users a false sense of security. Not to mention expense and damage to the environment.

Breathing in your own exhaled CO2 while out walking is also ill advised and unpleasant. It will reduce your oxygen levels. Buy a pulse oximeter and check it out.
That is an article based on one person's opinion. It is not evidence. Anecdote based on one person flying who may not have been in the infectious stage is not evidence. Show the evidence in a peer reviewed scientific publication that masks work in widespread use to reduce respiratory droplet spread of viral particles. People have bought into the government narrative on everything. Litter might be a red herring to you, to others who respect the environment it is very upsetting to see the country damaged by unproven policy.
I can post links later but it would be a long post.
... But if people google 'why masks don't work' ...
Reducing particles doesn't work. You only need one tiny particle to pass through to transmit. These particles are highly infectious and just because you stop some of them doesn't mean you reduce numbers of infections. Mother nature will have her way. All this talk of zero covid is utter nonsense. If masks worked then why so many infections in health care workers ? On the bright side we have the hope of better treatments by Christmas. But I wont be using any mask in the meantime to give me a false sense of security. Breathing in your own exhaled CO2 while out walking is also ill advised and unpleasant. It will reduce your oxygen levels. Buy a pulse oximeter and check it out. If you have COPD or ischaemic heart disease it could make you unwell. Using crap cheap masks is a waste of time. Wearing them doesn't work.
Regretfully I cant stay on here all day.
I posted before about why so many healthcare workers were infected with Covid19 early on. The protocol in hospitals and nursing homes when a patient has breathing difficulties is to put them on an oxygen enriched air supply. It is usual for such air supplies to have a humidifier so that the patients airway doesn't dry out. The standard mask used does not filter the exhaled air from the patient. The net result is that the infected patient exhaled aerosolized virus particles. This problem was first identified in nursing homes in Washington State. The solution was found by a doctor and engineer in Italy who adapted a full face diving mask for use with the respirator (non-ICU version, usually a C-PAP device).So many healthcare workers got infected because the infected \ suspected patients weren't wearing masks.
