At this point in the pandemic, I think we could call independent journalist, author, and former reporter for the New York Times, Alex Berenson a coronavirus expert.
He has been leading the charge using science to counter the hysteria coming from Democrats and the media.
Recently he has gotten his hands on a Danish study that medical journals are suppressing he claims because of the studies results. Berenson wrote, “The Danish study is the most important research on masks. If it shows they don’t work, we need to know, so we can try other solutions. If it shows they’re harmful, we need to know, SO WE DON’T TELL PEOPLE TO WEAR THEM.”
Berenson’s fear is that politics is holding health hostage and wants the study published.
To be clear: The Danish study is the most important research on masks. If it shows they don’t work, we need to know, so we can try other solutions. If it shows they’re harmful, we need to know, SO WE DON’T TELL PEOPLE TO WEAR THEM.
POLITICS CANNOT HOLD HEALTH HOSTAGE. PUBLISH.

The lead investigator of the study said the study would be published “as soon as a journal is brave enough.”
A lead investigator on the Danish mask study – the ONLY (as far as I know) randomized trial to see if masks protect from #COVID – was asked when it would be published.
His answer: “as soon as a journal is brave enough.”
If you think that means the study shows masks work… pic.twitter.com/tm5PFBa5TL

Berenson did speak with the scientist directly to authenticate the study and asked if he would release the study without a journal. According to the leader of the team not everyone involved in the study agrees to release the report without having a journal publish it is the right thing to do.
I have confirmed the authenticity of the email with him directly. I asked about an unreviewed preprint since it’s been delayed so long, but he says not everyone on the team agrees that makes sense.

I’m sure the people on the team are scared, here’s what happened when a Danish newspaper tried to publish the story.

Berenson believes that the study is going to have to come sooner or later. He called on the top medical journals to publish the study.
Btw: the study is really simple and well-designed and has clear endpoints. It’s exactly what a scientific trial should be. I can’t imagine what objections there might be.
Except to the results.

Whatever the results are the study should be published so it can be discussed. If the study is total garbage then those that conducted it should be exposed but if the study is valid more research needs to be done. What if we are harming ourselves by wearing a mask?
