The debate over masks should have been settled before the mandates ever started.

Decades of evidence had consistently shown that masks are completely ineffective at slowing the spread of respiratory viruses.

For many in today’s world, “believe in science” has become a quasi-religious mantra. Masks are the rosary beads, Fauci is the pope, the CDC is the Church, the World Health Organization is Vatican City, and guidance from both organizations is the Bible. Think I’m exaggerating?

Healthcare settings, for example, in different areas of the country continue to mandate masks. As do Hollywood…

But now there’s yet another study confirming what anyone who’s looked at the actual data and evidence has concluded for years: masks don’t work.

And it contradicts the endless, consensus messaging that “high quality” masking, worn correctly, is enough to significantly slow the spread of the virus.
