The claim that masks stop pathogens like viruses misses the point. Masks reduce transmission mostly by reducing emission of aerosols etc which contain pathogens. The often cited Cochrane review shows many RCTs to be inconclusive & is not evidence that masks don't work. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/masks-work-distorting-science-to-dispute-the-evidence-doesnt/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opinion/masks-work-cochrane-study.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1728635733680758997
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
