The study did not examine whether a mask would prevent a sick person from transmitting the virus to healthy people. It did not address it at all. So in that sense, it did not contradict, yes.

But that is 100% Straw Man Argument. “The study of bird migration did not contradict other studies showing alligators eat dogs.” Similar logic.

Or, as Rumsfield was fond of saying, “The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” Do you disagree with that statement?

i disagree with part of it. There is not growing evidence the masks prevent transmission to others. the rest is correct as the results did not reach statistical significance it did not prove or contradict anything although it is one more piece of evidence that masks fail to make a statistically significant difference in anything

I’d point out the study did not ATTEMPT to analyse that, and that the evidence of states with very strict mask mandates and countries, many of which are experiencing exploding cases, strongly suggests a handful of rigged studies AFTER COVID appeared are bogus.

And that the many studies PRIOR to COVID are correct: Masks don’t stop the spread of viruses.

People are clinging to their masks like they are a cross dipped in holy water as a vampire approaches....
