that is why I say you are a data free pre fascist.
Summary...
Mostly likely mask do not protect the wearer due to the studies of mask wearers vs control groups
Mask may prevent the source from spreading in a lab but in real life we really can't prove it because the data is mixed.
We do know that dirty masks are dangerous.
a. we have studies from CDC and Denmark showing that the all the time mask wearer still got covid at about the same rates as the control group which did not wear masks...
b. masks may work in labs but the studies showing the timing of mask mandates are mixed at best. The studies in hospitals looking at clothe masks show that if anything they are dangerous when they get dirty.
So all you have produced are a few meta studies that show that there were times mask had some correlation with the spread going down.
Of course... you could not remove... distancing and weather and immunity.

You should just fess up and admit you are a fact-free Neanderthal and those supporting wearing masks as public policy to stop COVID have clear compelling science on their side.
Now go crawl back into your cave.
