The justification for the removal was that it was “spreading information which may cause harm”.

Again, note the language. Not “false information” or “factually incorrect information” only “information which may cause harm”. Nobody (thus far) is disputing the method of the work, or the accuracy of the findings.

If thorough research “may cause you harm”, what does that really say about you? If truth doesn’t fit the “current climate”…what does that say about our climate?

Ego investment is a helluva drug. Everybody wants to feel like they're making a difference so bad that the truth doesn't matter.

BONUS: Masks also cause more infections in the OR. In which we all find out who the "patient zeros" of this bad mental model are. Physician, heal thyself.

BONUS II: Also, turns out the virus mutated anyways to defeat masks and distancing, lol
