      We are engaging with the review authors with the aim of updating the Plain Language Summary and abstract to make clear that the review looked at whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses.

      So, did they change it? (Spoiler alert, No, they didn’t)

      I’m losing my mind that this person is constantly going

      “COCHRANE IS TRUSTWORTHY. THEY SAY MASK BAD”

      And then you point out that cochrane did not say that, and have emphasised the opposite. And they ignore this as if its fake news 😂

      You people seriously just don’t get it. One editor in chief wrote this piece. It’s not all of Cochrane. Cochrane is a journal. You clearly don’t understand academic processes. The article was peer reviewed by a panel of experts and written by numerous other experts. The author you are bringing up is solely one person that has an opinion on the matter due to the political ramifications of the article’s findings.

      It’s annoying having to explain academic processes to the general public who don’t have a clue.
