It wasn't until deep into the pandemic (18+ months) that, in the USA, the CDC emphasized the KN95 masks or better.
That doesn't say there was a clear understanding. So not only were many effectively not wearing masks, we now can't make reliable heads or tails of the "post match" data.
If that's not negligence, then it was intentional. Neither is a good explanation.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoMaybe it was because of unavailability of that much masks of suitable properties (KN95/FFP2) for all people, and inertia to realize that situation? And then, saying at least Duck&Cover! in case of a thermonuclear explosion, because SDI/Iron Dome/Someshinyshield failed. Better late than never? Or nothing at all? At some point they had to say something.
- chiefalchemist 5y agoSo they knowingly "exaggerated" the effectiveness of the masks most ppl were using, and to cover their ass there has been - sans the CDC announcement - zero effort to update that narrative? And these are the same ppl and entities insisisting "trust us" and "trust the science"? This ^^^ isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what happened and is still happening. How am I, or anyone, supposed to truth that architecture?
