We heard “masks don’t work” because that is literally what they were saying. >> “Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!” tweeted Dr. Jerome Adams, the U.S. Surgeon General, on Feb. 29. “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!” In an interview with Fox & Friends, Adams said that wearing a mask can even increase your risk of getting the virus. “Folks who don’t know how to wear them properly tend to touch their faces a lot and actually can increase the spread of coronavirus.” https://time.com/5794729/coronavirus-face-masks/ https://time.com/5794729/coronavirus-face-masks/ Gutting trust in medical and scientific institutions by telling obvious lies right as a pandemic got rolling will go down as one of the greatest failures of public health communication in US history.
