On March 10, 2023, Tufekci published an op-ed in the //[[New York Times]]// criticizing the findings and authors of a [[Cochrane]] review which did not find evidence for safety or efficacy of wearing [[face masks]] for prevention of [[COVID-19]] or protection from spread of [[SARS-CoV-2]].((Tufekci, Z. (2023, March 10). //Opinion | Here’s Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work.// The New York Times. http://archive.today/2023.03.14-105803/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opinion/masks-work-cochrane-study.html)) [[Paul Thacker]] responded five days later by pointing out she had failed to disclose her own competing "study" which itself was a limited narrative review.((Thacker, P.
