It's a review of whether mask mandates work, not an in-depth review of whether masks work.
And? If you followed my posts here, that's what I was talking about. Except:
You were correct the first time. The review was not about individuals.
I likely overstated how effective masks are for individuals. This is the issue CV was having. If the masks truly worked to stop infection, then surely at least some of the mandates would work at least somewhat? This review showed that mandates were even less effective than previously thought, I think it is only logical to deduce that masks, even if they are effective on individuals, are not quite as effective as previously stated. What of all the medical professionals who were wearing the right masks, even double masks, correctly, and still got infected?
Did you read the Cochrane study or the wp opinion piece I posted?
Not the study, I read responses from various people. I have now read the WP op ed.
