No, it is spread by droplets that can travel up to 6 feet. They are generated by people coughing, sneezing, shouting, singing, talking loudly, etc. The droplets get on your hands and clothes (which then gets on your hands) and you wipe your eyes or nose and the virus gets in that way.
This is why the recommended mitigation measures are hand washing, social distancing, and masks.

At the very end of the spectrum, the researchers were shocked to find that not only were trendy face coverings such as bandanas and neck gaiters ineffective, but that they actually spread respiratory droplets more effectively than no mask at all. The reason for that, the study said, is because the thin material of the fleece splits the droplets into smaller particles, allowing them to spread more easily.
"We were extremely surprised to find that the number of particles measured with the fleece actually exceeded the number of particles measured without wearing any mask," Fischer told CNN.
Duke physician Eric Westman, another researcher involved in the study, said the findings about the less-effective masks are important because little information was available.
"They were no good," he said, according to DukeHealth.org. "The notion that ‘anything is better than nothing' didn't hold true."
remember the Duke study?

Yes that's what the study said. It was a response to the "something better than nothing" sentiment.

Why don't we buy everyone has masks, wear them from birth...we will be protected from everything

An organization that hypothesized that HIV doesn't cause AIDS has absolutely no credibility in my book.
You might as well have posted a study/article from the National Enquirer, DailyMail, or Bleacher Report

Yeah places like South Korea and New Zealand with less deaths than EBR parrish never use masks

Seriously. Even the most basic search reveals that this website is full of pseudoscience.

There are 70 links to several studies in the article, they didn't do the studies, they compiled the data

I get my mask science from countries that have handled COVID better than the US:
Public Health Agency of Sweden

The scientific evidence around the effectiveness of face masks in combatting the spread of infection is weak, which is why different countries have arrived at different recommendations.
Some countries have chosen to view face masks as a form of security and hope that universal use of face masks will reduce the risk of infection spreading from people who are in the incubation period, before the symptoms are apparent, or who have such mild or unspecific symptoms that they do not consider themselves ill.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden does not recommend the general use of face masks, as a face mask that itches or slips down below the nose may mean a person is regularly touching their mouth, eyes or nose with their hands, which can increase the risk of the infection spreading.
Use of a facemask may also encourage people with mild symptoms to go out into the community, which might increase the spread of infection.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden is constantly assessing the state of knowledge in this area and reviews new information from various sources.

Looks like shite is trending in wrong direction for them.
Sweden’s entire strategy was and is based on getting to herd immunity as quickly as possible. You just linked to an article saying they have an increase in cases, not deaths or even hospitalizations.
Where’s the problem, exactly?

Do you not see where that "article" has links to the NY Post, Twitter, The Sun (UK), and "World Today News," among other questionable sources?
Moreover, when they do actually link to a reputable source, they cherry pick quotes in a way that completely destroys context and distorts the original authors' intended argument.
No legitimate scientist, much less a first-year college student, would be allowed to compile sources in such a careless fashion.

There is a study within your link that recommends mask-wearing to decrease viral inoculum and thus severity of illness.
It also allows for more of the economy to be safely opened up.

Conclusion: Wearing masks (other than N95) will not be effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as PP
N-95 mask in theory would trap more "droplets and more sooner than later infect the person wearing them.

If those droplets came from the wearer than they already have it.

Not sure if I’m reading your broken English correctly, but HHS and USPS were going to send masks to every household in America at one point, before the plan got cancelled because of concerns it would cause a panic. Still, HHS has distributed over 600 million masks since April.

Yeah, they compiled the shite out of that data. From sources such as the “Covid19crusher” Twitter account and the NY Post.
That said, they also cited legitimate sources. So, sure - if you consider linking a million studies and then making up conclusions that didn’t actually come from those studies to be solid analysis - I guess they accomplished what you were looking for.
