Why we don’t have more studies on Taffix or increasing humidity in schools is not a matter of much attention seem like Inadequate equilibria type of problem, which seem quite distinct from evaluating existing evidence on some topic.
The point is that the evidence we have for Taffix and the evidence for humidity is better then the evidence we have for masks.
No. Per Bayes theorem, failure to see an effect in an analysis/experiment where you would expect to see no effect no matter if the effect exists or not should make you to stay with the prior.
The prior before we run studies is that we don’t know whether or not masks work. Studies are the only way to move from “We think it’s likely that masks work” to “We know that masks work”.
