@JamesTodaroMD Your claim in the tweet does not reflect the conclusion of the paper. Either you are DISHONEST or STUPID, or, as I suspect, both. — PolitiTweet.org

2) For starters the paper does'nt make the claim by "James Todaro, MD", that masks were NOT effective. Worse, there is in fact a big problem w/the study: it is ONLY saying: "If you have exposure to COVID inside your house, wearing a mask in the garden won't protect you". — PolitiTweet.org

3) Other some statistical problems, a proper study should be: "What is the risk reduction for those catching COVID OUTSIDE their house" by eliminating at home infections, which is the BULK of the spreading. — PolitiTweet.org
