Cochrane apologizes for mask review misinterpretations
"Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation."
"The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.' This wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize."

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Yeah, he’s isn’t saying they don’t work. He’s saying that after extensive review of N95 masks they still can’t determine whether they work or not. If they can’t even conclude whether N95 masks are effective for that use case what makes you think those stupid surgical masks and other cloth coverings are doing much of anything at all?

What he means is "Sorry Democrats for going against the narrative "
