CDC Mask Guidance
Cal Berkeley professor Robert Reich claims that Donald Trump’s refusal to follow the CDC’s advice on masking caused “countless avoidable deaths.”
IN FACT, the CDC’s mask guidance was rooted in the ignorant assumption that C-19 is mainly spread by droplets instead of aerosols.
No randomized controlled trial has ever found that masks save lives, and an analysis of CDC mask studies published by the American Journal of Medicine in 2023 found that “the level of evidence generated was low and the conclusions were most often unsupported by the data.”
Covid deaths enduringly plunged only after nearly everyone caught C-19 and naturally acquired immunity flourished — not when masks or vaccines were deployed.
