It's about mask used to prevent flu so not sure how it relates to covid. But it's still interesting
I just read the abstract, and it appears totally blasphemous! I wonder how long before the thought police finds out.
It’s been posted here before, and obviously nobody wears a mask during flu seasons so I’m not sure what chiddushim we are expected to be seeing.

Not going to lie, they've been on their A game recently. Straight and to the point.

That was the science du jour more than a month ago.

Is it still considered science? Or was it relegated to right wing, Trump supporters, Bolsonaro followers, conspiracy theory status by now?

The WHO came out with their nonsense and were debunked by literally everyone. So badly debunked they actually retracted it the next day. Here's an article linking to a study that shows a little more than half of the spread has come from asymptomatic/presymptomatic cases https://abcnews.go.com/Health/asymptomatic-presymptomatic-people-transmit-covid-19-infections-study/story?id=71647268

But regardless, no one should be relying on the WHO for corona advice. I don’t remember the last time the WHO said something about Covid that wasn’t false or outdated.

-The WHO removed guidance that traditional Chinese medicine is an ineffective treatment after receiving Chinese money
-The WHO refused to classify corona as a pandemic until pretty late in the game (Mid/late March?)
-The WHO claimed no human-to-human transmission
-The WHO did not recommend masks for public use until June despite numerous studies
-WHO claimed 99% of cases experience fever (lol)
-WHO claims no asymptomatic/presymptomatic spread
-WHO refuses to recognize that corona is airborne

I'm sure there's more but this is what I remember.

Wow.

Now imagine if a year ago I would make similar statements about the WHO, exchanging corona/covid for something else. How many mainstream people would consider those to be extreme nutcase conspiracy theory statements?

In a comparable case, I wouldn't say many, because at least for corona the WHO repeatedly has gone against mainstream scientific knowledge. They are not cutting edge health organization. They aren't useful for updated information but they might be useful when you're publishing a text book in a couple of years.

Somewhere in the good news thread is a post about how COVID brought out the true colors of some.

Definitely an interesting perspective, hard to tell what would have happened otherwise. But seems at this point that the virus did run its course in ny/nj just like in europe.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

We gotta make a like button after every segment of a roundup. I feel like I need to get that out of me after most of the segments...  :)
