I may be missing something here but the @WHO advice on masks doesn’t add up as reported here (also paging @bencowling88 who will have more useful things to say on the subject than I do) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/05/who-changes-advice-medical-grade-masks-over-60s … 1/n

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. There’s something about mask use that veers into the ideological

Indeed! Lack of RCTs are cited as a reason not to mask despite other evidence, but then evidence for harms and worries is all without citations and mostly hand-waving. Then, handwashing for COVID has less RCT evidence but nobody worries about that (but, of course, let's do it!).

False sense of security, if true, would apply to hygiene+ distance—if anything, more, no visible signaling and solidarity. Many other issues with this overly-complicated, belated walk-back. But that's all we get. Alas. In any case, world has moved on. Not the best moment for WHO.
