      I'm not greatly interested in the school/mask debate, but I must say this is pretty wild - the article leads with this statement and then proceeds to offer no evidence whatsoever of any harms except "subjective [sic] shortness of breath" https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1433447234574725128 …pic.twitter.com/5bZmvOhWo7

      I mean, sure, say that you're worried about potential harms, but there is literally no evidence presented of any that I can see.pic.twitter.com/cdm5jEqLjG

      The final paragraphs of the piece even make this clear - there is no evidence currently that face masks are harmful. But the top-line intro says that the potential risks are "more firmly established"! Wildpic.twitter.com/XTDn2PwtvE

          That study is the longest wind up to a joke I've ever experienced.

          The people that need to understand that rarely read past the headline. Once they've read the part that affirms what they want to believe, they are done. The author could have put "the above is all pure hokum" and it wouldn't matter.

          Standard approach from this author. Too bad he has a broader platform than the usual clickbait medical tabloid that publishes his stuff.

          He learned to write click-optimum stuff. Like Tim Pool

          I can't understand why this man's opinion is interesting to some media and people. His bias and fails are epic.

          Given the author disclosed his employer but didn’t say whether his opinions are purely his own I think it’s fair to ask whether these views are purely his or reflect those of @UCSF_Epibiostat
