Another Terrible 'Study' Is Being Used By Pro-Mask 'Experts' To Promote The Return Of Masking

A ridiculous new, easily debunked pro-mask 'study' is being shared by all the wrong people

It’s become abundantly clear that there’s no amount of evidence that matters to the hard core, pro-masking lobby.

In some areas, mask mandates have already returned, preemptively.

Merely on the assumption that there might be an increase in COVID and/or flu transmission, authorities are forcing the general public back into masks. So when we see yet another pro-mask “study” claiming to settle the masking question once and for all, and it is immediately shared and reposted by influential individuals with an ability to influence masking policies and recommendations, you can be sure it’s cause for concern.

Well, get concerned because that’s exactly what has just happened. Again.

Despite the fact that their conclusions and methodology are easily debunked, all the wrong people have predictably clammored to push poor quality evidence that confirms their existing biases. Sound familiar?
