Summarization
Multiple experts and scientists including @trishgreenhalgh, @mtosterholm, @Globalbiosec, @DFisman, @jeremyphoward and more have published peer reviewed literature proving the efficacy of masks and other Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) in the fight against COVID-19. Cochrane reviews alone are not enough to properly assess the effectiveness of NPIs, according WHO guidelines. Furthermore, EBM is a subordinate epistemology to empirical physics and evidence should not be solely determined on the statements of powerful people. In addition, elastomeric respirators and PAPRs are needed in certain situations even if these items have not been tested in a RCT. Lastly, experts have warned about the potential dangers of variants and the need for more attention to the issue.
Topic Modeling
- Effectiveness of NPIs (Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions)
- Evidence-based Medicine
- Resource Availability & Accessibility
- Spread of Viral Variants
- Quality and Efficiency of PPEs
Emotional Analysis
The tweets in this conversation express a range of emotions, from frustration and anger to cautious optimism. The speakers express their frustration with the incorrect claims made in the article about the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and the misrepresentation of published work. They also express their admiration for the work of Trish Greenhalgh and other experts in the field. In addition, they express caution in regard to the unknowns of COVID-19 variants and the need for precision in language when discussing masks and other respiratory protection. Finally, there is a sense of hope that the issue of COVID-19 will receive more attention and that the public will be better informed about the truth of the pandemic.
