Cochrane report un maskas
Pēc kārtējā kautiņa ar extranjero gribēju tikai piefiksēt, ka Cochrane, kuru ziņojums it kā pierādot, ka "maskas nestrādā" publicējuši precizējumu ar šādu tekstu:

Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation.

Ielienot dziļāk pašā reportā, pat paši autori nemin "maskas nestrādā" kā iespējamu skaidrojumu tam, kāpēc netika atrasts nozīmīgs efekts:

The observed lack of effect of mask wearing in interrupting the spread of influenza‐like illness (ILI) or influenza/COVID‐19 in our review has many potential reasons, including: poor study design; insufficiently powered studies arising from low viral circulation in some studies; lower adherence with mask wearing, especially amongst children; quality of the masks used; self‐contamination of the mask by hands; lack of protection from eye exposure from respiratory droplets (allowing a route of entry of respiratory viruses into the nose via the lacrimal duct); saturation of masks with saliva from extended use (promoting virus survival in proteinaceous material); and possible risk compensation behaviour leading to an exaggerated sense of security (Ammann 2022; Brosseau 2020; Byambasuren 2021; Canini 2010; Cassell 2006; Coroiu 2021; MacIntyre 2015; Rengasamy 2010; Zamora 2006).
