One of the most tediously written sentences in a long time.
The most important finding from this study is that contrary to the accepted thought that fewer people are dying because infection rates are reduced by masks, this was not the case,â summarized the paper.
This study, like many other studies of “Mask mandates”, made no effort to assess mask WEARING.
A county or state with a “mask mandate” might have less public mask wearing than, say, a Publix or Winn Dixie in the Villages.
The fact is, CDC ran zero cluster randomized control trials of the effect of mask WEARING, not mask MANDATES, on transmission - with the result that the question remains open after 30 months.
Unbelievable.
