We've asked that the Bangladesh mask study either be corrected or withdrawn
The study showed nothing. If there was any protection at all, it was too small to measure in the study that was done. The authors need to do the right thing and correct or retract the study ASAP.
Just for the public record, I sent this email today to Yale economics professor Jason Abaluck, the corresponding author of the Bangladesh mask study paper.
I will let you know if he responds. That would be the ethical thing to do.
Has anyone noticed now that the Abstract (summary at top of paper) and the Results and Conclusions in the body of the paper often don't match? When I was a kid, I read Scientific American. As a med student and doctor, I read Lancet and NEJM. As a scientist I read Nature and Science. So here's why I totally ignore them now. They are dishonest. They are false. They are crap. Much of the data is faked. They support the dominant narrative and never the truth. Every doctor and scientist at least suspects this. But they have no more courage than the editors of these Pravda like offerings from the "Ministry of Truth".
