Also note that many scientists, including those that had worked on or found masks to be a useful tool, led in correcting that PNAS paper making incorrect claims about their efficacy, and, here, too, people who are wary of mass gatherings are finding Sturgis claims are overblown.

Why do they do it, though?... the claim was so outlandish, they have to know it would be scrutinized and discredited. It hurts all of us as the anti-science brigade gets a “win”. I remember reading the abstract of the actual paper and thinking that it just couldn’t be right.

This thread is way too generous. The only explanation for these "mistakes" is that the paper was authored and amplified with the intention of providing the biggest numbers possible.

Now how are you supposed to convince people that QAnon isn't real when the scientists and journalists destroy their credibility with politically motivated studies like this?

I'll admit I was surprised by the number. But, how many did they say attended the rally? It was tens of thousands & seemed doubtful a mask-wearing crowd. I think that's what made it seem more believable.
