    Is there a single study more misrepresented than this one? Its lead author is *on the record* recommending cloth masks now because the study DOES NOT find cloth masks are bad compared to no masks, just that surgical masks are *better* for hospitals than poorly-washed cloth masks.pic.twitter.com/PBQ17RZcwo

        That study is not about preventing *transmission* of the virus in the community but *protecting* health-care workers facing PPE shortages and merely found that poorly-washed cloth masks weren't as good as surgical masks. Here's the lead author LINKED FROM THE TOP OF THE ARTICLE.pic.twitter.com/V2ChRtDDJU

        When everyone is a publisher and readership is based on "popularity" (not credentials, expertise, or authority on a subject) it feels like high time to re-look at how (dis)information will shape the rest of the century.

        For the side who clings to "blocking travel from China" as effective intervention and less than 2 million dead as success... this is all they need.

        @RandPaul , a United States senator, knows he is arguing in bad faith and that his anti-science will harm.

        That study, though. It's been so badly misrepresented. (It could have been written a tiny bit little clearer, to be honest, but it's pretty clear! The lead author has been loudly and publicly explaining what it actually looked at but alas...)
