I could find more, these were literally just the first Google hits. After COVID19 people started researching masks heavily, which had never been done to that extent before because it's one of the few low-tech solutions that everybody has access to.
I'm sure you can find lots more. The 1st study is about hamsters, the 3rd study was about reducing COVID in "households". Yes, a mask can reduce respiratory virus in a house. Wearing it outside or at WalMart is a different matter.

Studies also showed COVID death wasn't reduced by steroid medication. For months the US NIH and WHO recommended MDs not give steroids. We now know that steroids reduce COVID death by 1/3rd.

Be careful what "studies" and "experts" you listen to.

The above has been one of the most quoted and cited medical studies in the world. It's by John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist from Stanford. Worth a read, along with his other writings about COVID. By the way, I believe it was Prof. Ioannidis who *nailed* the iFR rate from COVID.
