Hahahaha is that the shit they had to apologize for because it didn’t actually conclude masks were unnecessary but the lead author went on a press tour touting the anti mask shit anyway, and a couple of the authors were affiliated with anti-mask think tanks? That’s what you’re citing? Some shit Cochrane themselves have distanced themselves from?

“Covid is over” do you like, not live on the earth? People have been getting Covid this whole time, and yes, as this new wave comes about, more people I know are getting Covid. You and everyone who thinks like you are a fucking joke. I can’t imagine having my head buried this far up my own ass.

Edit: also lol @ “liberal humanism.” Yeah, that humanism drops real fast when I choose to exercise my supposed personal liberty and wear a mask.

It wasn’t the lead author you dimwit. It was the editor of the journal who ultimately doesn’t get to make the decision because the article passed rigorous peer review. You clearly don’t understand how academic publishing in peer reviewed journals work. The only reason she posted this was to sooth people like you that now treat the mask like a blankie.
