It more likely than not does not.
There are no studies of full helmet, open face helmet, versus no helmet for bicyclists.
There are however many many such studies of motorcyclists. Such studies show no statistically significant increase in neck injuries for full face helmets.
The brain bucket brigade FUD is the only “source” of such conjecture.
