      Please, post your study here. I'm begging you. I can't stand the hypocracy of sending my kids masked to school. I REALLY want to believe they help. Show me evidence. Please, Ian. I don't want to be an anti-masker, but I need to see a study

      We just released a nontechnical report on COVID-19 and masks. It's been a huge point of contention in our community, and we hope this independent summary can help individuals and families navigate the confusion.

      So Kevin says your studies don't count since they've been invalidated by DanMask RCT. But I'll have a look anyway out of curiosity when I get a few hours. In the meantime have a look at thishttps://twitter.com/laurajfagan/status/1378932033003548674 …

      The Danmask study, which shows that if you give people masks, and they don't wear them, they don't help? https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/11/20/about-that-danish-mask-study-that-shows-that-masks-dont-work/ …https://gidmk.medium.com/what-the-new-covid-19-mask-study-means-for-you-eab2b824e36a …

Just so folks are aware: @Kevin_McKernan made stuff up on herd immunity, IFR, CFR, etc. @GidMK + others then had to correct him https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1328541766639788035 … https://twitter.com/VanGennepD/status/1328552871252602881 … https://twitter.com/AtomsksSanakan/status/1379144178597310467 …pic.twitter.com/HDYrWepMAs

      And, of course, @Kevin_McKernan makes sure not to link to the thread in question. Otherwise people might spot his deceit. McKernan pretends a low *absolute percentage* for COVID-19, means it can't be *relatively larger* than flu. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1328555843072061445 … https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1338331907910553600 … pic.twitter.com/I0Wl0c9Odz

      He blocked me. You can google it. Let me know if you need help. Claims Kid IFR is zero in his paper. Claims different numbers in his tweets. Why would he do that?

      Re: "He blocked me." Doesn't prevent you from linking the thread, such as linking your tweet on the thread. Re: "Claims Kid IFR is zero" No, he didn't, as shown in your own screenshot. I can see why he justifiably blocked a liar like you.https://twitter.com/braidedmanga/status/1379155798912344075 …

      Not only did you highlight the text that you couldn't read, there's a whole table you probably didn't get to. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895 … pic.twitter.com/VljnObZNkv

      It's quite funny because there's a world of difference between "close to zero" and "zero" but also we clarified that phrase after people like Kevin kept misquoting it so it's no longer in the paper at all
