That's one paper out of dozens, feel free to pick another.
“Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that ‘masks don’t work’, which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Dr. Karla Soares-Weiser, the editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Library, said in a March 10 statement. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/03/scicheck-what-the-cochrane-review-says-about-masks-for-covid-19-and-what-it-doesnt/ https://www.factcheck.org/2023/03/scicheck-what-the-cochrane...
It's not particularly conclusive, whereas many other sources point to a small increase in protection. Which is important at scale.

- timr 3y agoI picked one. Did you read it, or did you just read the factcheck.org link?
- Sporktacular 3y agoI read a few, none of which seem to be above some criticism. Which is why I'm inclined to let more qualified people synthesise and summarise it all. You however seem certain that you know better than the consensus which is that there is a small advantage to mask usage. But you haven't demonstrated why. Are you an epidemiologist? Serious question.
