"There are limited data on the use of masks and respirators to reduce transmission of influenza. A systematic review was undertaken to help inform pandemic influenza guidance in the United Kingdom. The initial review was performed in November 2009 and updated in June 2010 and January 2011. Inclusion criteria included randomised controlled trials and quasi‐experimental and observational studies of humans published in English with an outcome of laboratory‐confirmed or clinically‐diagnosed influenza and other viral respiratory infections. There were 17 eligible studies. Six of eight randomised controlled trials found no significant differences between control and intervention groups (masks with or without hand hygiene; N95/P2 respirators)."
this was the study (an actual study with humans and n95) fauci linked to show that masks don't work in his emails but then for some reason he changed his mind later on for no good reason
I wonder what changed his mind to chuck away decades of information?
I'm actually still baffled that the mask thing even caught on when we had years of data showing the opposite
People saw Asia wearing masks and then just jumped on the bandwagon
