@metal-brain saidOne man's say-so is never counted as conclusive in scientific research. That's why articles are peer reviewed and studies are duplicated.
Jerome Adams once said don't wear a mask and gave specific reasons why wearing masks do more harm than good.
Here is an excerpt from the link below:
“It's important to understand that we are looking at the data every single day and we make the best recommendations to the American people we can based on what we know,” Adams said on Tuesday.
“What the World Health ...[text shortened]... you are doing?
Show me the data that changed. Prove they were telling the truth the second time.
Now, referring to one of the items you quoted:
“On an individual level, there was a study in 2015 looking at medical students and medical students wearing surgical masks touch their face on average 23 times,” Adams explained. “We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face so wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease.”
DUH! No one recommends wearing a mask improperly. And no one said wearing a mask alone would stop the spread of COVID.
"medical students wearing surgical masks touch their face on average 23 times,” Adams explained." 23 times per day, hour, minute, semester?? Whoa, nelly! Let's get some real data here before leaping to the conclusion that masks don't work.
