Of course I know journalists don't count sonny, this isn't my first rodeo.

One retraction of a study that claimed to invalidate masks and one study published by the Lancet as of june of this year.
As of thinking hospitals are "evil" or some faggot moral term? No, they're institutions that abide by understanding and social pressure of the time. They should be held to task for charging $100 for a fucking bag of saline.
They're not legally liable for not using cloth masks before hand but I submit that masks in addition to other protocols are effective in limiting the spread of the rona.
All your pet study really says is that you definitely want a good ass surgical mask if you work in a hospital. By that logic, no, you don't need a cloth mask you need a surgical one.
One of my favorite things about people is to attempt to believe reality into a shape they prefer. Did you know when cruise ships go down passengers sometimes try and run and hide in their rooms and lock the door? It's an observable phenomenon in crisis that human beings have.
Far as I know it's standard to retract an entire study when the data is proven misleading. It invalidates any further work until the whole thing is redone. If you publish you can't go back later and add data and fix your stuff so it comes out differently.
And the partisan politics and affiliation of all this clouding the science is one reason why I fucking despise the current state of affairs and elected officials. Every. Single. One.
That said, I don't think at all we're going to change each others minds here. But you're a fun discussion partner and I salute you with respect.
