In his paper published on River Cities’ Reader, Denis Rancourt PhD writes:

“It would be a paradox if masks and respirators worked, given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.

“The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.”

You can read Prof. Rancourt’s complete paper here. But if that’s too dry for you, then check out this wild debate between the author and David Kyle Johnson, Professor of Philosophy at King’s College. Johnson has an emotional outburst as his pro-face mask stance crumbles. He resorts to character assassination, yelling and blatant cognitive dissonance of the facts. Like I said, it’s a wild debate.
