Masks, especially respirators, work. Cochrane review did not say that masks don't work and released a statement confirming this. Respirators (N95/99 / Fffp2/3 etc) are known to protect wearers against airborne pathogens and othe particles. https://www.cochrane.org/news/statement-physical-interventions-interrupt-or-reduce-spread-respiratory-viruses-review https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/cmr.00124-23 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10484132/ Also see PPE / RPE info

Original Tweet

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/1812932196434661575

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.
