Summarization
Twitter users are criticizing Bret Stephens, a New York Times columnist, for spreading misinformation about the efficacy of masks. They recommend instead following the insights of experts like Jennifer Nuzzo and Jabaluck on the subject. There is a debate about the effectiveness of various types of masks, with some arguing that N95 masks provide the best protection. However, there is a concern that improperly worn masks may not be effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, there is criticism of a Cochrane review on masks and COVID-19, which some say is flawed and misleading. Some Twitter users are also questioning the role of John Conly, who is responsible for the review and is accused of being anti-mask and blocking access to N95 masks for Canadian nurses. Overall, there is a call for reliance on evidence-based information and expert opinions in public health discussions.

| 1627412283159904256 | @linseymarr @JenniferNuzzo @Globalbiosec I wear a 3M K-95. Caught Covid. People at work were shocked as "You ALWAYS wear a mask!" But I didn't. One slip, taking it off to drink a coffee in a large room with few people, one of whom had Covid. I blame myself, not the masks for not protecting me. Lesson learned. | 20 |
