Gee, they are only 87% effective, you can't get any littler than that.
The much-vaunted Danish mask study was finally published today in the prestigious Annals of Internal Medicine. Now we know why three medical journals were so averse to publishing its findings. The study completely obliterates the cultish devotion to masks. The results of this massive real-life controlled experiment show that the group that wore surgical masks in April experienced a 0.38% lower infection rate than the control group that did not wear masks. That is about one-third of one percent, which is so low that it could just be statistically random variances that demonstrate no definitive efficacy even to that infinitesimal level.
Edthecoward has spoken.Gee, they are only 87% effective, you can't get any littler than that.
The powers that be are using Occam' Razor, a catholic monk from the 12th century.Gee, they are only 87% effective, you can't get any littler than that.
Gee I failed to find that elusive 87% you brought up, but I sure can find these passages you didn't read:

Wear the stinking mask to keep others from freaking out.

Yeah lets panic and shut everything down with a death rate of .02%. Of course that number is a lot lower as there are probably millions who have caught the virus and recovered without ever being tested.Gee, they are only 87% effective, you can't get any littler than that.

That's because it came from the CDC, and not from some fake foreign Right-wing source.Gee, they are only 87% effective, you can't get any littler than that.
Gee I failed to find that elusive 87% you brought up,
And if by .02% you mean 3% then you wouldn't be the worthless lying scum POS you are!Yeah lets panic and shut everything down with a death rate of .02%.
Where are you getting your math from ?And if by .02% you mean 3% then you wouldn't be the worthless lying scum POS you are!Yeah lets panic and shut everything down with a death rate of .02%.

My favorite part of the article
It appears that the study's authors had to twist their tongues in order to get this study published by noting that "the estimates were imprecise and statistically compatible with an effect ranging from a 46% decrease to a 23% increase in infection." They of course had to concede that their study doesn't definitely rule out the idea that masks could be effective!
further it says
the researchers cautioned that their findings "should not be used to conclude that a recommendation for everyone to wear masks in the community would not be effective in reducing [COVID-19] infections, because the trial did not test the role of masks in source control of [COVID-19] infection.
well one thing is certain, if you wear no mask you will get infected. Is the survey saying that front line doctors and nurses do not stand a chance when treating patients with COVID-19 when wearing masks?
I would love to find out why these 3 organization did not want anything to do with the Danish study.
it could be that they didn't buy into the methodology or whether it was peer reviewed. It is know that many mask on the market are not medical grade masks. They are cheap mask that do not work as well as medical grade masks. People do not wear mask 24/7.
The question is could it be worse and is the mask part of a plan which includes other things.
