The overselling of the Cochrane study is a classic example of cherry-picking, where biased groups highlight a subset of data that support their position, while ignoring the larger pool of evidence that disagrees with them.
Says the writer who did exactly that in this very article. This is an every day thing for liberals.
Many direct studies in labs show that high-quality masks significantly reduce the number of viral particles mask-wearers inhale and emit, but these are intentionally omitted in the arguments of anti-maskers.
Lab studies with "high quality" masks have nothing to do with the real world practice of people wearing a bacteria infested surgical mask for 8+ hours straight.
I hate these fucking liars with every fiber of my being.

Easiest read ever to know this article is completely full of shit.
For context, Cochrane studies are meta analyses of other studies to determine their merit. So ofc the MSM is trying to declare it as heresy.
