Doesnt mean it’s very likely. Scientific consensus around masks is pretty clear Not everybody’s opinions are valid regardless of credentials

  It was clear back in February too. "Stop buying masks, they don't help." Then in April the consensus did a 180. Consensus doesn't equal fact.

    I might be wrong here, but I am pretty sure that it was "stop buying N95 masks". I'll go back and look, though.

    First, that was not what they said. They do help but it was said don’t buy N95 cus supply shortages. That’s fixed now, so point 2) Things change. Data changes. Why is changing your mind and admitting mistakes a sin now? I’m not a lemming. I think that’s the real issue here, an inability to accept change or recognize nuance
