What is there that you do not understand. "The review is not able to address the question of whether mask-wearing itself reduces people's risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses." That's the part that you choose to quote. What do you think that means? The review can't address that because there was no difference in the mask groups and the non-mask groups. If there was a difference then they could address the question. Since there was no difference in scientific terms that means the results were inconclusive. But in laymans terms inconclusive means there was no difference. No difference means that masks don't work. How hard is that to understand? Whether you wore a mask or didn't wear a mask the outcome was statistically the same. And, initially that is exactly what the writers of the Cochrane Report said. Then the Cochrane Library was threatened with losing their funding, so they used "inconclusive" to claim that they could not tell whether masks might work or not, but if you have ever had a science statistics class inconclusive just means that statistically both groups did the same. The really amazing thing is that it was within the margin of error, but the non-mask wearers actually did slightly better. Just read the report and you will see that's what the data shows.

What an insult to those of us who have lost otherwise healthy friends to Covid.
Here we go again… The Fauci is a liar, the vaccine side effects are worse than the disease, masks don’t work, Ivermectin or UV or bleach is the answer, and then the craziest one of all - Covid didn’t kill anyone. This is the usual anti vaccine, anti science, anti climate change, it’s all a “deep state” conspiracy crowd. God help us.
Not wasting any more time on this idiocy, which belongs in the attic anyway.

Don't agree with everything in that post, but it is provable that Fauci lied. Look at all the evidence that Rand Paul has collected. Fauci lied to congress when he said that the NHI did not fund gain of function research in China. He lied when he said masks work, because just weeks earlier he answered a private email telling a friend that a mask would provide her with no benefit. And, he lied about the virus occurring naturally.
As to Ivermectin, the data from India seems to show that it works as does the data from the immigrants to the U.S. from certain parts of Africa that we require to take Ivermectin before we allow them to enter the country. Surprise, they didn't get sick. Ivermectin absolutely works both as a preventative and if given right away as soon as someone contracts covid, or for that matter virtually any other virus.

The local hospital had 26 Covid cases at the beginning of December. Within two weeks, it had 41 cases. A nearby hospital has 80 Covid patients. These are all people who are so sick that they need hospitalization, and it does not include the stay-at-home people who have Covid.
I've always heard that those blue masks were not effective for Covid, and I believe it. Just out of curiosity, I used one for sawing wood and spray painting, and they're worthless even for that.
If you don't believe that Covid is real, you don't have to post that here. Maybe we can keep this out of The Attic.

Stupid is stupid does! Covid masks are designed to capture Covid and Flu and Cold bugs - nothing else.
This guy woke up and decided to see how much controversy he could stir up today. We all rewarded him.

Masks are not a joke....
About 30 different studies in the early days of the plandemic reached the same conclusion that the blue/white masks are ineffective at stopping viruses. They also concluded that N95 masks were only effective if they fit properly, in other words custom fit,which is one reason why surgens and others wear visors. If the mask doesn't stop viruses when you inhale then they aren't going to stop them when you exhale

I might try the local "Nature Man." He claims to cure anything by concentrating on his patients. He can also concentrate on preventing people from getting sick. He doesn't accept money - just a donation of fruit. Science is over-rated. 🤣
In case any of you thought I was being serious, I wasn't.

I think Covid is the new flu. Kind of the same thing but not quite. Last spring I contracted a coronavirus, but it wasn’t Covid. Covid is one of many coronaviruses but not all coronaviruses are Covid.
Yes, one has to wonder where the flue went for 2 or 3 years.

Don't know where you get your information from, but I can't accept it. I am over 80 and used to get colds and flu multiple times a year. But in the past four years have had no cold or flu or Covid, thanks to proper vaccines.
How do you know it was due to vaccines, I haven't had the flu for 50 years because I never had a flu vaccine.
I keep praying, please God don’t make mandatory mask wearing return.
How did the pharmaceutical companies do 10 to 12 years testing in the space of 9 months and to top that 4 different companies came up with a so called vaccine all in the same week? The existence of VARRS ( Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting System ) tells me that we were the guinea pigs for testing after it was said the jabs were "safe and effective"
As some others have said, masks do help.
But I think how much they help depends on quality, tightness, proximity, and duration of being around people.
If you are around a lot of people for an extended time, your odds of not catching from an infected person goes down even with a tight fitting N95.
But it's funny how we've become mentally done with Covid, even though Covid is not done with us.

Because they got off their bums.
