I'm not surprised by this. Having worn every type of mask, cloth is better than nothing, but I wouldn't consider it overly effective. There's a ton of fake N95's floating around now though so you have to be careful what you purchase.As many know by now, some airlines are now banning cloth masks on planes….
Major Airlines Are Now Banning Cloth Masks on Planes — Best Life
As COVID cases continue to rise around the world, many major airlines have decided to start banning cloth masks on flights.
Agreed. I ordered a supply of N95 masks very early in the pandemic, when the wait was a long time, due to demand. But, I researched first, and made sure they were NIOSH approved. My glasses still fog up, indicating leaks. They are supposed to be fitted to one’s face, but it’s not like you buy them by size, like shoes or something. They are all the same size. I adjust the fit as best I can. But I confess I am just as likely to grab my blue surgical mask, or double up the blue surgical masks, which our local hospitals required in visiting hours months ago. One needed to wear two surgical style masks at that time, before vaccines were widespread.
Here are the NIOSH approved N95 masks:

I did misread that. You said " You can pretty much cut the 37% and 21% in half with Delta." An 18%/10% reduction is still significant.
Every reduction matters. Of course, you have to weigh that against the costs of reduction measures. I'm still waiting to hear from you what the gain is from dropping mask requirements.
The vaccine is absolutely the most effective way. However, just like when you wear a condom, it's always good for these to be a second method of protection, so here vaccination is extremely important, but we can do even better.

This is pretty much what I have felt might in fact be the best case end game. We’ll see I guess. Interestingly, Israel just announced they would be offering a 4th shot! In fact, some of their medical authorities are now suggesting it will be likely that boosters would be needed about every 5 months from here on out. That sure would act as an accelerant in the states, where the vaccine component of our cold civil war is concerned, since it’s obvious the vaccines have become a battle line in our culture wars.
The gain is that kids like this girl may be alive.

Wait a minute. Why would a lack of mask mandates have saved that girls life? Did it say in the article that the only reason she didn't vaccinated was because she thought wearing a mask was better than a vaccine and so she figured the mask would save her life? I didn't see that quote in the article. (Admittedly I was slim reading so maybe I missed it.The gain is that kids like this girl may be alive.
Utah’s 2nd youth COVID-19 death is unvaccinated Salt Lake County teen
A Salt Lake County teenager who was not vaccinated against the virus became Utah’s second youth COVID-19 death Thursday, as the delta variant continues to drive up cases in the state despite reports the latest surge may have peaked in the United States.
The 10% efficacy of a mask, if the protection is even that high with a cloth mask on a child against the Delta variant which new research is casting doubt on, is not the equivalent of a 95%+ efficacy vaccine. Cloth masks are essentially useless in protecting a kid against the Delta variant but they provide adults an excuse to not get their kids vaccinated because they wrongly believe in cloth masks.
Misinformation... Not surprised Thriller and Fish fell for such blatant stupidity. Thriller called others idiots 4 times on this page yet fell for blatant propaganda that the dumbest of true idiots should've figure out. Fish it's just natural for him to fall for stuff like this, it's hard to be too hard on him because he doesn't know any better.

I don't know for certain that it would have saved her life, but it is possible. The problem with mask mandates is that people believe that even if they haven't taken the vaccine at least they are doing something. It may not be the vaccine but it is something. It is bad messaging and I think it is going to get people killed. The reality is that EVERYONE is going to get COVID at some point. It appears there is no herd immunity with SARS-CoV-2. There was an LGBT Pride celebration in Massachusetts where all attendees were vaccinated with proof and it was still a super-spreader event.
This message sucks to high heaven!! Might be true, though. Begone Long Haul, begone Long Haul, lol. Persist, quality of life, persist, lol….
That was indeed misinformation. It's true that ivermectin overdose cases in 2021 through August have more than quadrupled the total for the entire year of 2019, and that cases in August alone doubled those of July, but there is no evidence of hospitals being unable to treat these patients.
