1. Based on the size of the study there are thresholds for statistical significance.
2. Only a portion of the people were even wearing masks. A few people wore masks and the risk of infection dropped by a few percent. Declaring masks don't work because a couple people wore them yet the entire population didn't see a complete decline in infection is illogical and dishonest.
3. The study not being able to conclude in a statistically significant way that cloth masks prevent infection is completely different from concluding that cloth masks are worthless. Your aversion to masks is completely a reflection of your bias and not supported by this study.
- timr 5y ago> A few people wore masks ...there were 54,000 people in the cloth mask villages, and 106,000 people in the surgical mask villages. Compliance was over 40%. That's more than "a few people".
