Reviewer: j.c.cor - favorite - July 20, 2020
Subject: Poorly written and unscientific
Hard to believe that the author is a former physics professor.

I am not going to give a full peer review. Consult for example the layperson's summary blog post by Erin Bromard.

The author's point that RCTs have not supported mask wearing in general is correct. But no RCTs have been performed during a global pandemic. The author's assumption that 1 virion is an infectious dose is unsupported and leads to a false conclusion.

Subject: Research Gate should be ashamed
Dr. Davis is a respected researcher & scientist. ResearchGate is suppose to be a place where scientists, academics & researchers are allowed to post their scientific research. It is a shame that ResearchGate is censoring any type of research. I'm sorry Dr. Davis has had to come under this attack of his skills and abilities.
