America's face mask policy has been branded 'outdated' and unscientific as a DailyMail.com analysis shows most states are still recommending them to protect against Covid.

Last week, an infectious disease doctor who advises the UK Government testified there was no proof face coverings stopped viral transmission and may have even raised the risk of getting infected because it gave people a 'false sense of security.'

The expert's testimony came after numerous reviews - including one by the esteemed Cochrane Institute - that failed to find solid evidence masks reduced Covid cases, hospital admissions or deaths globally during the pandemic.

Colleges still mandating vaccine:
As of the end of last week, we are down to 71 colleges left mandating COVID vaccines.  It is unbelievable there are colleges still doing this but here we are.
