"Jason Abaluck, a Yale economics professor and co-author of the Bangladesh study, likewise said in an email that there are two separate questions at hand: Do high-quality masks prevent COVID-19? And do public efforts to increase masking reduce COVID-19? A key factor for the latter, Abaluck said, is whether the initiative works in getting people to actually wear the masks. Conflation of those issues helped spur widespread confusion about a recent analysis of data from existing trials by Cochrane, a British organization that evaluates research, Abaluck added. That review concluded that the effects of interventions such as the promotion of mask-wearing were “inconclusive” in terms of slowing the spread of respiratory viruses. But the review didn’t prove that masks don’t work, as some claim. “Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that ‘masks don’t work’, which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Karla Soares-Weiser, editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Library said in a subsequent statement. She noted that there are limitations in the evidence, including low adherence to masking in the studies factored into the review." hint to tenQ; Inconclusive is not "masks work" Try fact checking your posts before you post same
