>> As with Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin you don't approach hypotheses critically. >> You project your confirmation bias I suspect I've read more actual studies on these two drugs than anyone here, other than maybe Tom. (Strange how the people you claim are 'uneducated' are the ones doing our actual homework)... Probably hundreds, over the course of a couple years. So, unless you can point to someone else here who has done as much, I would say you're FOS. IN fact, I think it would be true that I've posted more such studies showing both of these drugs to be efficacious in treatment of Covid than anyone here, as well. How many of those did you bother to read? There continues to be a lot leftist bias against drugs that don't product massive profits for pharma. As it was after the 1918 Flu, it will probably take years for the truth to come out -- not only about this topic but about the silliness of mask-wearing, shutdowns, and the failures of the medical community to act in the best interests of patients.

<<Its basic and fundamental modern science and technology.>> You don't have a frigging clue. A dangerous idiot.

>> Filtration works. Its basic and fundamental modern science and technology. Yes, filtration filters if it works well. That's its job. We do not know that N95 masks worn by the general population without training work. We certainly have been cautioned that they don't. We do know that paper masks don't filter well and cloth masks don't, either. And we do know something about the outcomes where there were mask mandates vs where there we not: "Their cumulative rates of Covid mortality were virtually identical, too (in fact, there were slightly more deaths per capita in the states with mask mandates)." >> As with Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin you don't approach hypotheses critically. I didn't "approach" them at all. I simply read competent studies performed in what I judged to be statistically sound analyses, and I found them both to be better than the alternative (which was, in effect, doing nothing -- telling patients to go home and come back to the hospital when they're dying, and can no longer live without a ventilator). It was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
