DOWNSIDES OF FACE MASKS AND POSSIBLE MITIGATION STRATEGIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS Feb 4, 2021

https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/2/e044364

“Conclusions There are insufficient data to quantify all of the adverse effects that might reduce the acceptability, adherence and effectiveness of face masks. New research on face masks should assess and report the harms and downsides. Urgent research is also needed on methods and designs to mitigate the downsides of face mask wearing, particularly the assessment of possible alternatives.”

[This one asks what should be the obvious question about doing research on the HARMS MASKS CAN DO…which very few studies have done compared to the others funded by the Powers That Should Not Be about how “effective” they (supposedly) are.]
