100x this. And given how most people approach news like this ("...but WHO says mask don't work!") it will cause much harm.
Mindbogglingly stupid on WHO's part.

It always baffled me how people keep demanding "evidence" for the benefits of wearing masks when even a simple observation provides it.
There's plenty of videos of experiments you can conduct yourself (like the the aerosol ones or just people trying to blow out a candle) showing how masks stop spreading the virus.
Also, have a look at you own monitor screen. See all the funny, dirty dots? That's your spit. Does that compute now?

Not sure about this particular instance, but this user's comments in this thread show quite aggressive, preconceived and completely unnecessary stance.
To people like that everything is sexist/racist/-phobic.
Since HN is generally above that, comments trying to derail the actual discussion and lower the level of discourse are not welcome.
