Sure physics is a science but other than sub atomic we've pretty much fleshed out all the numbers. Especially the ones humans deal with on a daily basis.

There are studies showing masks don’t cause hypoxia

Are there?

Twenty-eight people were approached, 3 declined participation, and 25 participants (mean age, 76.5 years [SD, 6.1 years]; 12 women [48%]) were enrolled. Nine participants (36%) had at least 1 medical comorbidity (Table 1). The pooled mean Spo2 was 96.1% before, 96.5% while, and 96.3% after wearing the mask (Table 2). None of the participants’ Spo2 fell below 92% while wearing masks. The paired mean differences in Spo2 while wearing the mask were minimal when compared with the value before they wore the mask (0.46%; 95% CI, 0.06%-0.87%) and the value after wearing the mask (0.21%; 95% CI, -0.07% to 0.50%), with both 95% CIs excluding a 2% or greater decline in Spo2.

I’m betting the people that actually read the entire study and not just skip to the abstract, is incredibly high on the TD.
Just a cursory read through draws skepticism as to the wide array of conclusions these researchers are making.

It is a garbage "study." I'm no huge mask proponent, but stuff like this will only lead our side to be readily dismissed
That's an opinion and debatable.
I'd say the results are significant in showing that there IS an impact and anyone buying the media narrative that masks have zero impact on our health are full of shite.

Anyone who reads this critically will see there are immediate, glaring holes in the paper (and typos? Lol). They present what they say as fact when previous research has already debunked their claims. It’s not peer-reviewed. But “Stanford study says masks are ineffective, have devastating health consequences” confirms the OT’s preconceived biases so this is now the “science” they will follow, which ironically makes them like the libtards who only follow the science that backs their politics. I say this making no judgments on masks themselves, as I had an awesome, maskless night out yesterday at a local brewery.

25 people huh? Well it's settled.
What kind of scientific study uses 25 people to represent 200 million or more? Statistics 1001 tells you this isn't acceptable.
People are shitting on actual scientific studies yet accepting a sample size of 25? frick me
Sorry, thats not science, that's bullshite.

If you’re being objective it’s not that debatable. It’s not peer reviewed. It’s not a randomized controlled trial. It’s not published in a reputable journal. The author makes dubious or outright false claims and presents them as fact. If the author used the same quality methods and came to the conclusion “BLM rallies don’t spread COVID” or “face masks are 100% effective” you would reject them.

Find me better data that proves me wrong. Sounds like the burden of proof (showing masks cause hypoxia) is on you

So your study had more surgeons but their O2 dropped 1%? Again, 1% isn’t even clinically significant. But you’ll probably reject this because it doesn’t fit your politics, which is sad.

You’re wasting your time on this guy. Politics>science. Oh the irony.

the media has 100% suggested both of these. try again

shite, this reminds to read the CDC study on mask efficacy. Thanks.

We’re talking the study in the OP. But I guess you agree that it’s conjecture.

Try what? I agree with you, it’s bullshite. Just like this study. Try again, to read this “study,” with a more critical mind.

All of the most mainstream anti-lockdown and anti- masks studies have come out of Stanford. You know there’s some people there who are pissed over that.
My sister went to Stanford it’s not as left wing as you’d think. They have a very open and free thinking atmosphere and select students who are well rounded. All of their research and studies are to seek truth and facts without political agenda. It’s a great school and nothing like the Ivy League schools

Everyone is so full of confirmation bias at this point that it doesn’t really matter what any “study” says.

Lmao y’all are in here downvoting peer reviewed, well-designed studies from JAMA and upvoting “research” from a Facebook Karen, but when shite hits the fan y’all are gonna run to a doctor who gets their research from JAMA, not Facebook.
