Mashup Score: 0Posts Exaggerate Lab Findings About COVID-19’s Impact on Immune System - FactCheck.org - 1 year(s) ago

People online are touting the results of a Cochrane review to incorrectly claim that it shows masks “don’t work” against the coronavirus. But the primary conclusion of the review is that it’s uncertain from randomized controlled trials whether mask interventions in the community help slow the spread of respiratory illnesses.
