I am not often wowed on Twitter in this direction (very positive). Zeynep says what I've been trying to preach to anyone who will listen "We are being epistemologically over-confident" (e.g. masks, NPIs) which leads to "lack of curiosity/research" (e.g. seasonality)https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1378757555820888070 …

And that WHO committee report laundry lists everything, and those are studies of medical workers in medical settings. Yes, by all means, a person working in an Ebola ward could self-infect through inappropriate doffing. Not applicable to NO masks—clearly and obviously worse.

I haven't ben able to find where the debunkings are. I see you saying it a few times and saying it's a thorough debunking, but I haven't seen one piece of literature yet showing community masking of healthy people does not cause infections (of any type) directly or indirectly.
