I do agree with all your points, except:

> Masks have a very modest impact on transmission

They are an effective measure which has lead to significant decrease in infection rates.

There are of course parameters like the type of mask.

How many people are even using those masks correctly? There's a lot of people going around with old and contaminated masks or wearing them improperly.

"People aren't using them properly" is an argument for better education, not ditching the things.

[mathverse]

And I have mentioned ditching the things where? It's an argument for not "relying that much" on an unreliable use of such tool like masks.
