Leftist Holdouts Just Cannot Ditch the Masks
By Jamaica Plain
After two years, the media acknowledged that cloth face masks don't work to prevent the spread of COVID. Now our governors can align scientific consensus with policy.
After CNN and The Atlantic reported that face masks don't work, California and nine other Democrat governors revoked their state indoor mask mandates. That leaves only four states with continuing statewide mask mandates.
Has the evidence on masks changed? No. The CDC reviewed the scientific literature pre-pandemic and highlighted that ten high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCT) demonstrated that masks failed to prevent transmission of respiratory viruses. In May 2020, a Denmark RCT added to the literature showing that surgical masks don't reduce spread of COVID. The scientific evidence continues to accrue of mask inefficacy and harms.
