The first paper notes that the mask doesn't do much to protect the wearer. That's not what the mask is for.
The second notes in the initial paragraph: "Eight of nine retrospective observational studies found that mask and ⁄ or respirator use was independently associated with a reduced risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)."
The third one said "This systematic review and meta-analysis supports the use of respiratory protection"
I quit looking after that.
Perhaps you could use the services of that law firm.

studies established a conclusive relationship between
mask ⁄ respirator use and protection against influenza infection"
you are a smart one aren't you
Mask use is not to protect the wearer of the mask but to prevent the wearer from spreading their germs and possibly spreading the virus if they are asymptomatic.
Think of it this way: next time you, or someone close to you is getting a surgical procedure or operation, tell the surgeon and nurses not to wear masks. Surgeons and nurses (that is, everyone in the operating room) obviously wear masks to protect the patient whose innards and guts are exposed as they are the most vulnerable in the room, incase anyone in the room sneezes/coughs which can then cause an infection after sealing the wound. Got it?
