What has been the biggest goof up by the WHO about COVID19? 1) No human: human transmission 2) Masks not helpful 3) No asx transmission 4) Other (comment)
Because they didn't say that there was no transmission or that masks didn't work, they just said that current best evidence hadn't found these to be true. Nuances that often were missed in the reporting!

Press reporting was not great. But it’s not like the WHO is new to the game. They should know how to communicate better to a large audience (“the world”). Also, how was this a fact? Maybe they didn’t have enough evidence to call it “airborne”, but not to call it “not airborne”pic.twitter.com/NPS3WdGSiZ

The ideal way to report "absence of evidence" would be to say "insufficient evidence to support or refute efficacy of masks". i.e. equivalent of USPTFS grade "I".pic.twitter.com/TAMQdzluRC
