Just like in the US, the mask policy in Israel is also not based on scientific evidence. Science is dead. Expert opinion dictates policy. Scientific evidence is no longer needed.
I received this document responding to a FOIA (equivalent) request to Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH).
Here’s a snippet:
Basically, to summarize the entire response, there is no evidence masking works and we don’t know the harms, but we decided to do it anyway. OK?
It goes downhill from there.
Read the full response here. Highlights are those of the requestor.
For more info on the lack of any evidence on masks, see: Do masks work?
Masks are not even useful for surgeries.
“In the modern era, there has also been a scarcity of experimental evidence to support the effectiveness of facemasks in the prevention of surgical site infections. The earliest retrospective studies failed to demonstrate any statistically significant improvement in surgical site infection rates following the use of masks. Indeed, the latest National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines on the matter do not require operating staff to wear a mask in theatre.”
