You're fucking removed, holy shit. Get off this site. You literally didn't read it and I'm sure you think "statistically significant" means "obviously bad."
They wear masks all the time, you fucking dip. You're literally blinding yourself to fit your narrative.
what they're saying is that in other countries it is normal to wear masks even before this pandemic, and therefore if it were a significant health concern it is likely this would have been found out by those countries

There are tons of ordinary industrial/commercial practices that are harmful, but the harm is not obvious enough to be immediately noticed, or there's some other interest (classically, the interests of capital) that acts to prevent an honest investigation.
Not saying that's necessarily the case here; only that we definitely don't live in a world where significant health concerns are noticed promptly.
Well, it's both. But I'm not really talking about how to characterize mask wearing -- I'm saying that we have tons of examples of harmful practices (many of which happen to be industrial/commercial practices) that are not immediately recognized as such.
Revealing your hand pretty hard here. It's literally about aesthetics to you. Stop calling yourself an ML if you abandon scientific thought as soon as it becomes inconvenient for your un-scientific feelings.

This isn't an industrial/commercial practice, though, but a widespread social one.
