2024-09-20 12:44:55 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING
The BBC article is misleading. Randomised trials for mask types are needed for "high quality evidence", but impossible, because participants know what type of mask they're wearing. A real-world study showed that switching to FFP3 masks reduced Covid infections by up to 100%. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/upgrading-ppe-for-staff-working-on-covid-19-wards-cut-hospital-acquired-infections-dramatically

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/1836767221143466089
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.
