Somebody trying to tell me masks don’t work and they say they’ve seen studies blah blah . I’m pretty sure they’re wrong but what’s the best most convincing evidence to change somebody’s mind?

Just don't. These people are broken. They think masks are WEF slavery and humilation devices to restrict freedom and enforce conformity. They also don't want people to mandate their hygine like shave your tree beard because you can't get a good seal. Or use moisture wicking tri layer cotton masks so your snot breath doesn't slather down your nasty ragged mop face because you refuse to shave your mess out of stubborn free dumb.
The point with masks is people have to use them in order to minimize the risk to others around them. That means everyone needs to use them in the room for maximum prevention. It is also courtesy to others around you if you are feeling ill in general. Asia figured this out long ago. Over multiple SARS and flu events.
Masks are to minimize the risk to others going out from a potential infected by capturing the water droplets the virus sheds out on. Not from you acquiring the virus from the air you breathe so much, and anti maskers will go on about the last point because they fundementally don't understand the concept. Not all masks are created equal either. Not all rooms and their airflow are created equal.
Even if you point to studies of different mask effectiveness and percentage reduced blah blah you will run into how blue masks shed plastic and synthetic fibers or chemicals that cause cancer. Insert N95 masks or what I've been using tri layer cotton masks which I think fit better and have natural fibers and can be washed and reused.
They'll point to how the virus is smaller than pathogens or vapor droplets, even though they are sticking to the vapor is how they get out and trapped, some may make it through. So because not 100% they opt for 0% because free dumb.
Sorry if this seems cynical. Too much :reddit-logo: has made it a lost cause to try to do a logic with these people.
