(cont'd)
“Does a mask protect me from aerosolized virus?” or “Does this seat belt keep me from flying through the window..?” are different types of questions than [...] Imprisoning engineering and the natural sciences at the very bottom of an evidence hierarchy—at the same level as an expert opinion—is a mistake. As with seat belts, whether people use masks properly matters, but no randomized trial could conclude seat belts “don’t work.”
