There is a persistent argument in medicine that you can’t subject an intervention to randomization if the outcomes are dire. 50% death rate in 30 days is insanely high! This study shows precisely why you MUST subject it to randomization. Just because outcomes are dire, doesn’t mean your intervention helps. If a plane is crashing, you can slaughter a chicken, but don’t think you are helping anyone.
When it comes to COVID19 there are many variations of this argument 7 million people died, which is far worse than masking a toddler.
Yes, sure, people dying is worse than masking a toddler, but masking toddlers did not change the death rate. It was just a separate, stupid thing we did.
