By  As public and private institutions  resume or consider mask mandates  in the wake of a small uptick in COVID-19 hospitalizations and new viral variants, an international research collaborative  funded by the National Institutes of Health  is facing new scrutiny for how it came to publicly downplay its 17 years of research finding that  masks make 'little to no difference.'  U.K-based nonprofit Cochrane, often described as the  'gold standard' of evidence-based medicine,  heavily redacted its internal discussions on how to respond to questions about alleged conflicts of interest that may have shaped its  March statement deeming the systematic review's results 'inconclusive' without changing its content.
