"Inadequate support: Claims that face masks are ineffective at reducing the spread of COVID-19 based on a Cochrane review didn’t take into account the limitations of the review. While many users presented this review as the highest-quality evidence, the individual studies it evaluated varied greatly in terms of quality, study design, populations studied, and outcomes observed, which prevented the authors from drawing any definitive conclusions."
- rippercushions 4y agoThis rebuttal is less than convincing. The core of the argument seems to be that a lot of right wingers are saying the study "proves masks don't work", which it doesn't. But it doesn't really address the study's actual finding, which is that we're not seeing evidence that masks work.
- Scalene2 4y ago1. That is not what the study found. 2. The reason that there is limited evidence that masks work is that the effort required to collect more than limited evidence that masks work has not been undertaken.
