Preprint about quantitative errors in Cochrane[edit]
It's still a preprint, but in case I forget about it by the time it's published, I'll leave this here. It finds quantitative errors in Cochrane flip the result to being statistically significant. DFlhb (talk) 18:15, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Review of child masking[edit]
BMJ BMJ published peer review here: [[1]]
Their conclusion: “Real-world effectiveness of child mask mandates against SARS-CoV-2 transmission or infection has not been demonstrated with high-quality evidence. The current body of scientific data does not support masking children for protection against COVID-19.”
This does not seem consistent with the narrative in our article. Springnuts (talk) 09:44, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

- “Archives of Disease in Childhood is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the BMJ Group and covering the field of paediatrics. It is the official journal of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.” - according to … er … our own article. A reliable source? But you are quite correct: it is not written by the BMJ: I have amended the title of this discussion topic, accordingly. Springnuts (talk) 12:46, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- BMJ Group these days publish (not write) a load of journals. Anyway, it's a good source and added. Bon courage (talk) 13:42, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
