    Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.

    Seems like a really well done study.

    It was a well-done study, and it did find masks offer a statistically insignificant protection.

    Conclusion:

    The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.

    We should do what we're told

    Libertarian socialism

    I think this slowjoe's description is more Libertarian retardation.

    Because none of that happens in real life right? Everyone wears them always and perfectly. FYI the airborne virus goes right through them. But you do you dingbat.

    Post a larger and better study. I'll look. I think this may be the largest I've seen so far.
