Funnily, that's not really true. Such studies showing that exist but are sponsored by… paper towel companies

Fucking dystopian late stage capitalism... Every fact is not actually a fact cause it's sponsored by corporate interests

I tell my phone to "Remove Suggestion" on that every time, but it never fucking takes and it pisses me off. Don't capitalist twitter or god.

I went for a whole month drying my hands with only independent research and the results were similar to using paper towels.

I remember someone tested this, and the bacteria was found in a wider area.
