If you're referring to Dr. Osterholm, I don't think he said masks *don't* work, just that the evidence is variable depending on which kind of mask you're talking about.

A lot of us stuck out our necks exactly because there was a lot of evidence/expertise that wasn't being taken into account. In my case, I paid close attention to Hong Kong and Taiwan's amazing infectious disease experts who were dismissed by Western establishment.

Even Dr. Fauci was wobbling. And CDC acted late.

I don't read the paper as telling us not to rely on symptoms, it told us the case definition they used didn't cover all symptoms. E.g. left out transmission to/from ppl w only GI illness bc it wasn't known. But not sure how you'd get to "let's assume asymptomatic spread too"

(I will say, recognizing GI aspects of the disease & adjusting policy to account for that was pretty delayed here. GI symptoms didn't qualify pts for testing for the longest time, not much provider or public education, etc. Non-mask gap in research-responsive policy)
