well put. The study i mentioned takes place in a hospital environment, yes. Due to a lack of like studies that's the relevent one at the moment. Hopefully the Danish study will have its findings released soon.
I'm not a lawyer. I am writing in good faith.

hopefully you can explain how your statement isn’t disinformation, as part of the discussion
I think this term gets banded around as a means to disqualify discussion that isn't fitting into a broad consensus. I think that's really dangerous. Disinfo is when one party purposely (in bad faith) manipulates information to achieve an interested end. For example, operation mincemeat in ww2. British spies planted disinformation about the allied attack on Sicily. Brilliant disinformation campaign.

Debate all you’d like, I’m a lawyer, I live for it, but if you’re going to misrepresent something you’re using as evidence, don’t be surprised when you’re called out on it.
Specifically:
Emphasis mine.
The study does not prove this, unless you’re talking to Vietnamese healthcare workers in hospital settings. Scientists could take this as a starting point for further investigation, but you’re wrong in saying that using a cloth mask is more dangerous than not using a mask. Given that people die from getting these decisions wrong, I find it reckless.
I had assumed good faith, so I suggested you amend your post and explained why. You didn’t address my point that your post included disinformation, you only took issue with my ‘accusation’. I’ve explained my point in further detail, and hopefully you can explain how your statement isn’t disinformation, as part of the discussion.
Edited to lower my word count.
