Without getting to the minute details of this study, it was, to me, obvious the mask thing was a problem created by unqualified government agents early on.
FIRST, there was that the general population did not need masks, and only first responders did. Reasonable minds cannot fathom how it is only first responders needed protection.

FIRST, there was that the general population did not need masks, and only first responders did. Reasonable minds cannot fathom how it is only first responders needed protection.
SECOND, there were self appointed experts insisting we needed to abandon those silly N95's and other masks for surgeons' masks. Anyone who has seen surgeons masks and understands a LITTLE about air movement knew the experts pushing them were not experts, but just fearful, power abusing fools.
THIRD, in all the mask mandates, no criteria for what qualified as a mask that would protect against a virus was given.
For example, in my shop you will find a hundred N95's, four or five P100's, respirators for gases, for solid particles and so on. You will even find a full face mask and an air fed mask, which is just a mask filtered at another location. Also, you will find three dust collectors, each which came with what, in the industries, are called dust pump filters.
A so called dust pump is just a dust collector with such horrible filtration that all the dangerous, fine particles are put back out into the air. To get around this, we replace these filters with after market ones that, as a general rule, filter at the level of a half micron to a single micron.
These stock, dust pump filters filter at about thirty microns. In other words, they are chip filters, more than anything else.
Now go to the common bandana. I have no idea of the filtration level of such things, but, putting one up next to a stock, dust collector canvas bag suggests fifty micron might be pushing it.
From here, we can go to common filters used in homes and commercial businesses. These are rated in, for example MERV units. At about a fifteen MERV rating, a filter will remove all bacterial and even most, if not all, viruses.
Most household motors cannot push air through filters with a high MERV rating. Especially when they start loading with debris, making the motors work even harder to push air through them. Though it would be possible, if you increased the surface area SIGNIFICANTLY. Otherwise, you'd burn up the motor.
Now, think of us as these motors. We can be worked too hard, trying to draw air through fine masks. We saw that kind of ignorance and stupidity in sports, however.
2) I and most others do not deal in interstate commerce, though those we sell to might. Even if they do, the fact they are subject to interstate commerce laws does not make the ones they buy from also subject.
2.5) Old Joe, during the election, bragged about getting gun free zones in place. What he neglected to mention was, those Congressional laws were struck down in the several, united stated, because, as the U.S. Supreme Court stated, schools had nothing to do with interstate commerce, so the feds overstepped their authority and the gun free zone law (U.S. vs LOPEZ (1995), in the states, were never laws at all.
3) OSHA has no authority over citizens in the several, united states when they are not dealing in interstate commerce.
4) In the past, OSHA agents came to my buddy's mill and demanded to inspect it. They were ran off every time, after being warned any attempt to enter private property would be construed to be the start of a physical attack and would be responded to accordingly.
5) Most citizens are not aware, but none of the thousands of governments found across our lands can compel a citizen to waive a right conditional to exercising another, or even a so called privilege.
6) Agents of common agencies have been, by the appellate courts, said to be the equivalent of police, and required to obtain warrants from the judicial branch prior to conducting investigations.
7) Searching for a crime is not a basis for issuance of a warrant. That is what is commonly called a fishing expedition (searching for a crime) and is outside the scope of authority of any public agency.
Appellate courts even declared, while citizens can access certain records, police cannot access electric utility records for the purpose of determining if a crime is occurring.
The issuance of a warrant requires probable cause. That is, a belief some crime has been committed.

Signaling your virtues to OSHA.
SIDE NOTES:
1) OSHA is a federal agency.
2) I and most others do not deal in interstate commerce, though those we sell to might. Even if they do, the fact they are subject to interstate commerce laws does not make the ones they buy from also subject.
