Sorry everyone, that was a complete waste of your time. I forgot the Danish mask study was 'fake news'.

Sorry, we can’t accept your petition – “Do not mandate face coverings outdoors”.

It included confidential, libellous, false, unproven or defamatory information, or a reference to a case where there are active legal proceedings.

We can't accept petitions which contain unproven statements such as that wearing face masks isn't effective in reducing the transmission of Covid-19, or that wearing face masks can cause health risks. You can find out more about the Danish study on mask wearing, including how to spot fake news here: https://fullfact.org/health/danish-mask-wearing-spectator/ We could accept a petition calling for the Government not to require the wearing of face masks outdoors, as long as it didn't contain unproven statements.

Just read the Danish study paper.

It says there is a reduction in infection, but not statistically significant.

If you ready the results of the study, this is immediately clear.

"Statistically significant" has a specific meaning in maths. Look it up.
