3 or 6 doesn't really matter, still being ignored regardless.

Spoken like a proper anti-science devotee.

 

Well done.

We need a wider array of reactions, just for Tops...

 

...well, not just for Tops!

Yeah - who cares about a 100% variance?

So many of the results it is reporting on were conducted prior to 2016.

 

"Many studies were conducted during non‐epidemic influenza periods. Several were conducted during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, and others in epidemic influenza seasons up to 2016. Therefore, many studies were conducted in the context of lower respiratory viral circulation and transmission compared to COVID‐19."

"Viral epidemics or pandemics of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) pose a global threat. Examples are influenza (H1N1) caused by the H1N1pdm09 virus in 2009, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 in 2019. Antiviral drugs and vaccines may be insufficient to prevent their spread. This is an update of a Cochrane Review last published in 2020. We include results from studies from the current COVID‐19 pandemic."

Yes I know  - scroll down to table 9 -  out of the 78 trials reported on, 16 were masks and of these all of 3 were 2020 onwards.
