If at any point you repeated or boosted the "fact" that masks should not be worn to prevent the spread of coronavirus — knowing or suspecting that this was an unsupported claim to reduce demand for PPE — you have no business shaping or promoting mask policy/messaging now.

Lesson learned. Don't believe "experts" ... trust one's own good judgement based upon all available information, weighted by probable accuracy.

I had a similar interaction with an epidemiologist on FB. He was totally snarky about it too. Literally said masks would increase infections "because science."

Canada's highest ranking health official also peddled this misinformation, that wearing a mask increased risk of infection, in addition to assuring Canadians there was no community spread because absence of evidence was treated as evidence of absence.

And of course, theres zero accountability when the 180 is done. Its always "new evidence emerged", that it was the science that was wrong and not the scientist.

Hey, I'm not going to weigh in a particular way, and honestly, if I have in the past (tbh, not sure, these times have made my memory shot), I'm sorry. But, it IS kind of an anomaly, what you describe here. I've had the same experience. Do you think they were being dishonest?

People will still punish you for being right. Someone went apeshit on me yesterday because I bought masks in March, and this was "stealing" them from nurses. Because somehow hospitals were unable to buy them at retail before that but would have figured it out if only I hadn't?

There are weirdly studies and meta studies that show both outcomes. But they aren’t clear as to whether or not the infectious people were wearing masks or not. All seem to be done in healthcare settings too. Not sure if/how that translates to everyday life.
-
The study/analysis I think you're referencing was, sadly, trash. It was lauded as the gold standard because it was supposedly a randomized controlled trial, but the control group was so ill-defined that it was impossible to know what the interventions were even compared against
