>In this study, the results showed that the low efficacy of preventive measures for preventing infection in unvaccinated people does not necessarily mean that they are completely ineffective. As an example, our results show that protective measures on non vaccinated individuals were statistically significant in reducing the need to receive anti-COVID-19 treatments (OR: 0.447, 95% CI = 0.321–0.623; p < 0.0001). These agree with the systematic review of Talic et al., who found a reduction in the incidence of COVID-19 associated with mask-wearing, handwashing, and physical distancing.

Most people know that and the rest don’t want to.

Yeah I washed my hands and carried on normally. I've not had it and have been surrounded by people whom have had it multiple times. Many of them were vaxxed fully and boostered. I do not trust the science on this, many things factor into this but mostly it was all the hypocrisy and double talk by those who were pushing for mandatory vaxxing and lock downs.
