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?
Folks, they were perfectly willing to accept a study that wasn't even about covid.
It's not surprising they would completely ignore the study's conclusion.
what was the study's conclusion?
I think it's a trick question folks. The answer is right there in black and white at the top of this page: "...no statistically significant real-world performance difference between surgical masks, N95s"
Same as this one: 2022 Oct 22 "Our findings indicate that both respirators and medical masks provide a high as-worn bioaerosol protection efficacy against virus containing aerosols, and therefore, a very high protection against airborne diseases. Considering the higher comfort, better availability, and lower price of medical masks in contrast to respirators, it is recommendable to use medical face masks especially in low risk situations and in general public." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36317154/
