That study also focuses on influenza which does not transmit quite the same way as COVID. A bunch of these links were the same thing being shared in the early days of COVID by doctors claiming that masks did not work. Obviously most healthcare organizations have changed their recommendations in light of new evidence specific to this pandemic.
- beagle3 5y agoThere doesn’t seem to be any evidence specific to this pandemic that masks work. The CDC study released recently puts it at 2% or so. And there was no new evidence in March that caused the reversal from “masks don’t work” to “you must mask up” to “two masks are better”. Obviously there was a reason for them to change their recommendations, but it is not evidence, and might not even be health related - I know someone who was involved with a recommendation in a national organization, and a big part of it was “instilling a feeling of pandemic”.
