If a COMPANY wanted to claim that the face mask they manufacture prevents Covid infection, they might need to do an RCT. Such a company would talk to people at the FDA to find out what type of study the FDA would require for the type of claim to be made. For example, if said company could demonstrate through basic benchwork that their mask filters particles smaller than the Covid virus, then the FDA might approve the claim without any clinical studies. (I've run clinical trials and have presented to the FDA. I know the game.) Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy only because the authority might be wrong. RCTs can also be wrong. In the right context, it might be better to trust the right authority over of the results of a poorly executed RCT. I did not mean anything more than that. I think we can agree that RCTs are the gold standard of most clinical research. I did not dismiss the need for evidence in making public health recommendations. The more evidence the better. (That's the argument for more testing.) I could site evidence supporting the wearing of masks, but I come to the Magic Café to relax. If you go to PubMed and search for "face mask covid", you'll find dozens and dozens of articles in the medical literature on the subject. No RCTs, though! Best, David M. |

Oh no, mistakes made in covid testing centers. In Florida and Texas, which have been reported to have a "SIGNIFICANT" increase in covid cases, made errors. 300 testing centers in Florida found 100% positive test results of ALL those tested. (100%) Well they found out it was incorrect. It was inacurate by over 10X. Also, Doctors are saying wearing masks can cause health concerns to the wearer.
We exhale for various reasons. Some of those reasons is to get rid of those things the body NEEDS to get rid of. Restricting this process for weeks and months can be more harmful. We have been lied to and given inacurate information, yet we sheep keep believing the so called authorities. Can you say POLITICS?

You demanded an explanation for something in South Dakota. That was just weird. You pulled that out of nowhere. I know little about that state and I made no claims about it. So if you want to know something about that state, you look it up. Don't use the sources you constantly claim are lying, use sources you trust, if any. Since you brought it up, you do the research. That is the way it works. Don't demand that I do it. Why would I even want to? I don't find any logic in your demand, unless you know a lot about the place and want to show off. Although I have found sensible things in your earlier posts on this topic, I have found some of the later ones a bit strange. As I said before (and I think you agreed) let's get back to the important stuff. |

Cloth mask wearing by the general public is not supported by the science. The WHO recently changed its guidance to NOT support cloth mask wearing by the general public. They also describe when masks should be worn and I find their guidance reasonable. https://bit.ly/2WrLqoZ
Randomized Clinical Trials, those being the gold standard of research, the following study found 10 RCT "...that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature...we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks." https://bit.ly/30fPslv The following trial done with health care workers found that cloth masks were not only ineffective but also had higher rates of infection when using cloth masks. https://bit.ly/2OuleFX The idea that basic cloth masks can stop virus particles isn't supported by the science. "Results obtained in the study show that common fabric materials may provide marginal protection against nanoparticles including those in the size ranges of virus-containing particles in exhaled breath." https://bit.ly/3h7fqP2 Here is another study that found cloth masks ineffective. "Standard N95 mask performance was used as a control to compare the results with cloth masks, and our results suggest that cloth masks are only marginally beneficial in protecting individuals from particles<2.5 microns. Compared with cloth masks, disposable surgical masks are more effective in reducing particulate exposure." https://go.nature.com/32nziJB The whole point of masks is to prevent asymptomatic carriers from infecting others. The WHO just mentioned that it appears to be rare. This study below lends credence to what other medical professionals are seeing, that asymptomatic transmission is rare. https://bit.ly/3ev3ZyJ https://cnb.cx/2Ch2mI0 Additionally, one must follow proper mask wearing protocols if one is not going to make spread and transmission of SARS-COVID2. Improper usage can increase the risk of transmission. How many people do you observe breaking these rules? https://bit.ly/30jb7cu NBC and ABC both did segments about the ineffectiveness of masks before mask wearing became political. Dr. Fauci, Surgeon General Adams and Former CDC Director Frieden all stated masks are ineffective. Two major news organizations that did independent programs on the same topic both reached the same conclusion, that cloth facemasks are ineffective. That is not a coincidence. Nothing scientifically has changed since then to prove cloth masks are effective. https://nbcnews.to/2Chh2qB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZiGJUbxqww Incidentally, appeals to authority are when you refer to what someone said because they are considered and expert or authority. I referred to actual proof in the form of a RCT versus the opinion of an authority. Quote: On Jul 15, 2020, ekgdoc wrote:

Kalix his entire means of discussion is "gotcha" and no proof.
He wants to claim others suffer from the same fallacy as he does therefore his failing is not a big deal. ANOTHER fallacy but no time to soak in the irony LOL. If you are going to start using things like facts and proof how can anyone actually talk with you on this magic board?

You do see the irony of pretending to be morally superior by demanding we get back to the topic, while still engaging in the of topic posts right?
And defining what "new normal" seems to be relevant. You don't think there is a choice in doing so. Last time I looked in America we used to have choice in things. It would be nice if the information given to us by those we entrusted to help us was not shrouded in lies they admit to. Also you made the claim the the Governor of Florida said they opened too early. I can't seem to find him saying that. All I ask is you give a link to him saying that so I can be educated.

I didn't name the politician or his position. (I have just checked the post to make sure). You can check it yourself too.
You say "All I ask is a link to him saying that so I can be educated", but you and I know that is a lie - my source for that statement is your previous posts, which are right there for all to see. I have been reading daily about Florida, but I have no idea why you demanded information about South Dakota from me.You have not addressed that strange behaviour. I hope you see the irony of continuing a discussion that you have been emphatically calling pointless in a number of your above posts. |

No you are confused. I said "a politician". Read my post more carefully. (I could quote it but I want you to do your own research).

I deliberately did not say the name or position of this person so that it would not become political.
The point was that you can trust that a politician who admits making a mistake, is telling the truth. This could apply to any politician. |
