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.

There really are many people doing their best to interrogate the evidence and adjust our understanding. It just takes time, and sometimes gets drowned out by the rushed and reflexive sensationalism.
