Facebook said my article was false – now the fact-checkers admit they were wrong

There was a Stanford professor that argued that "We don't have high quality evidence for masks"[0]. Just asking for more studies to be done. Note the emphasis on "high quality". He was cancelled, fired and smeared by the university and the media.

Here are some studies that probably need to be done more carefully because they conclude "Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection."[1]. So what's wrong with questioning and asking for more to be done?

Who was fired by university? Certainly not the professor the article you quoted centers on, who, as of posting, is still employed by Stanford according to both Stanford: https://healthpolicy.fsi.stanford.edu/people/jay_bhattachary... and his own linked in profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jbhattacharya

Kinda ironic, given the topic.
