For me that these papers get accepted is rather a sign that scientific consensus is on the side of masks work. Usually, it takes 2 -5 years to get a nature paper ready (at least for the labs I know). Seeing also the pre-prints that were in

It's even easier to rebut you. I'm neither fascist nor do I take drugs. Could you find a virologist researcher actively working on COVID (in the lab) with a standing in the sciences who agrees and states your opinion (not publishi

I treat you like that because: 1. Ad hominem attacks and argumentation ... 2. You post a partisan website that posts links to studies with claims that are wrong. Where even the authors of papers linked there say that these conclusions are w

I thought it through. I don't say you have to do any of it. It's my personal decision. If that's a slippery slope for you, i don't get it. 1. there is sufficient evidence that masks (as one measure) can reduce infection

now we are getting somewhere... away from personal insults (and ad hominem attacks). Honestly, if you show me proof about your position, I easily flip. that's the point of science, I'm happy to be proven wrong. That's what I

Didn't know the labs recorded if a person was wearing masks .. If they didn't the second is more reliable :) Basic science if you dont measure something (e.g. how many people wear masks) you don't know anything. Fairly simpl

Wearing a mask is a medical intervention for you?? wearing a mask is not about protecting you, it's protecting other people. If you don't value other people's lives, don't wear one it won't help you personally. Ok .

what is the risk of wearing a mask? that you look silly? the real world evidence is mixed, yes. People are not mannequins, people die. If a simple action of mine, that might make me look silly, might save some lives (might, I don't kno

Science is the history of people seeing something basic and getting told by others that it's not true ... E.g. the earth is round. Yet, You can never prove a hypothesis just present more and more evidence. My point: it does not hurt me

Yes, that's the point masks are better than nothing. They might reduce the likelihood (without much of a negative impact). That's why we should wear them. A vaccination also just reduces the likelihood you get covid. People can st

Anecdotal, how do you explain the non existing flue season (last autumn ) and the low incidences in Japan? We got higher rates during the Olympic. I live in Tokyo, Japan and visit US/Europe often. The only significant difference I see
