Well, their conclusion starts with "Face masks in the general population might be effective [...]", and they provide official sources for their claims, but I have not checked that out.
First one is: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article, which says: "In this review, we did not find evidence to support a protective effect of personal protective measures or environmental measures in reducing influenza transmission.". Personal protective measures here refer to face masks, for one.
In any case, this is besides the point, let us go back to OpenVAERS.
