Thank you! It's something I've been thinking about a lot, how do we encourage integrative thought? The number of very smart and evidence-oriented health professionals who just will not let go of false sense of security as a huge threat, for example?

This is a very good question! And false sense of security from something like masks (psychologically more likely to distance people imo) compared to false negative testing (more likely to make people act carelessly so we need to educate)

With masks, from the beginning, yes, the assumption should have been it would *increase* other measures (solidarity, signaling and stigma...). With false negative testing, I think it is indeed a threat, and like washing hands incorrectly, would need further education/guidelines.
