since we already know that regular masks are ineffective, that fact that the filtered n95 masks did not perform any better was a bit unexpected. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article
and seeing covid has had 10% of the world's population in infections, It would be statistically average that 10% of the participants got an infection. And since they were all wearing masks, and their chances were still on par, therefore masks no work, thanks for playing.
also you skipped this line in the study "The observed results are consistent with a range of protection, from a 23% reduction in the HR with medical masks to a 69% risk increase."
Nothing about covid in that link folks. Read it yourself. Don't take the word of anonymous strangers on social media.
but the study you posted wasn't the current strain, so it too is therefor unable to be used as a analog for other similar viruses.
also only the first paragraph was about the study I posted, the other two were about the original study of discussion.
Clutching at straws,folks. One study was about covid, the other was not.
Unfortunately they have nothing to back up the rest. It's like they think they can out-science the scientists without doing any science.
Folks, cherry-picking a line out of the study doesn't change its conclusion.
nope, sorry, wasn't the current strain so the study doesn't count. I wouldn't want to gain valuable information for suitable analogs.
i find the '69% risk increase' part of the sentence far more interesting. And what was the study's conclusion exactly?
