I would encourage readers to read the “Main results” section of the review for themselves. It takes under 5 minutes. Don’t trust a commenter on any online forum on this topic (myself included), as it’s completely politicized.

Also read the studies themselves.

And the criticism of the Cochrane-method review.

And the studies not cited.

As well as the studies on the mechanics of transmission.

I think people can rely on the authors to put the main results in the "Main results" section. What they can't rely on is potential nutters in Internet forums.
