Public health authorities didn't exactly cover themselves in glory from 2020-2022. Scientists did! But there's a world of difference between a public health practitioner and a microbiologist or physical chemist or chemical engineer.

  Are you suggesting that microbiologists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers now claim that properly fitted N95 masks are ineffective in reducing the transmission of current strains of COVID?

    What a weird conclusion to reach from what I've written.
    - greyface- 3y ago
      Upthread, you said "empirical evidence for masking, especially vs. the new strains, is quite weak".

        Yes, that is so.
