Review of anti masking book Unmasked by Ian Miller

Clay and Buck did a decent job of promoting the book Unmasked by Ian Miller so I purchased a copy in the Google play store to read on my cell phone. There is only one one star review on Amazon here

Mr Miller makes a good case for why masks don't appear to work, but he falters in the chapter on why the flu dissapeared. I don't believe his explanation of that part at all. My review of the flu data shows a decline in flu cases at the same time as schools were first closed in the USA, indicating that flu was declining due to all mitigation measures even before masks were widely used

Mr Miller claims that face masks do not block aerosols, but this is clearly false, based on this study

Also the NIH was using computer models to explain Chinese data by assuming that there was asymptomatic COVID19 transmission in the spring of 2020, so mr Miller's assertion that asymptomatic transmission was rare is also likely false. He also refers to hospitalizations dropping permanently after the first wave which is also false.
