Masks and the way this virus spreads isn't new.
New medicines, requiring trials are novel.
Golden eggs and apples shouldn't be compared.
What new data has finally come in that has shown that masks do not slow the spread or that they do? And new we have guidance?
The problem here is that the medical community, when they have skin in the game wear and recommended masks, from day 1.
Again, the virus is novel, how it spreads is not.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoI answered this far above: The evidence on masks was thin, and limited to use by professionals in a medical setting Go find a study showing the effectiveness of masks for prevention of infection in the general population published before 2020.
- tertius 6y agoMoving the goalposts. I didn't say general population, I said masks. Efficacy will be tested where it can be observed. I.e. very unlikely that a trial with high confidence will ever work on the public. Also, given your arguments, what is your position on the efficacy of lockdowns vs. their negative effects?
