“We're not going to do a randomized control experiment of whether a parachute saves your life when you jump out of an airplane,” says pediatrician Dr. Lawrence C. Kleinman regarding anti-mask arguments that there isn't enough evidence to back masking.
showed that mask usage with indoor settings, including at schools, reduced the odds of the positive COVID result by 44%, on average. Higher-quality masks — such as N95s and KN95 — lowered the chances by 83%.When doubters try to downplay the value of face coverings, their arguments often usurp scientific language. One common complaint centers on the dearth of clinical trials on mask usage.
We're not going to do a randomized control experiment of whether a parachute saves your life when you jump out of an airplane.“We're not going to do a randomized control experiment of whether a parachute saves your life when you jump out of an airplane,” Dr., a pediatrician at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, told Gothamist in August ahead of the school year.
In villages without reinforcement, only about 13% of people wore face coverings. Mask wearing rates rose to 42% in places with the extra nudges, which corresponded with an 11% drop in COVID rates. Mobarak said the masking effect would likely be larger in other parts of the world. Yet a similar trend for student masking — a 21% reduction in case rates — was not statistically significant and was only mentioned toward the end of the study. Zweig’s piece accuses the study of “file drawering” — or trying to bury a statistically flawed result. Zweig was arguing that reducing COVID cases by one in five could not be considered dramatic change without statistical significance.
