Even N95 mask still lets 5% of aerosols pass through. In the long run masks provide less protection than you think. Even Fauci admitted as much in one of his emails.

5% is much less than 100% Nobody ever said its bulletprooof. But from a risk stand point it greatly reduces it.

Question. Then why is not HCQ, ivermectin, zinc etc. being widely used? There is plenty of research and real world usage data that shows it can have an effect in reducing hospitalizations and deaths. In tropical African countries where malaria is prevalent and HCQ use is quite common, their death rates/million population are significantly less.

Its for parasitic conditions. Not viral. I'm not a doctor.

In 2005, HCQ was tested against SARS:

SURPRISE!

....The infectivity of coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV are also affected by chloroquine, as exemplified by the human CoV-229E [15]. The inhibitory effects observed on SARS-CoV infectivity and cell spread occurred in the presence of 1–10 μM chloroquine, which are plasma concentrations achievable during the prophylaxis and treatment of malaria (varying from 1.6–12.5 μM) [26] and hence are well tolerated by patients. ...
