> Any time I state that cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading, as in this Denmark study, Florida school comparison, and Vietnamese study, YouTube deletes the video
Worth pointing out that the Vietnamese study indicated that surgical masks were actually quite effective, and that the Denmark study didn't actually focus on cloth masks whatsoever.
- joe_guy 5y agoHe does seem to be working as a bad actor. If he was looking to spread good information he would talk about what _does_ work. His statement "I state that cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading" is too absolute. I only read the Vietnamese study's summary, but it concluded medical masks were more effective, not that "cloth masks do not stop the virus from spreading." All this said, n95s are widely available now and should be worn. Thank you for the link and context.
- joe_guy 5y agoI tried to read the Florida school one but there's nothing to read? Leftists hellbent on forcibly masking... It's a biased article that uses a press release from DeSantis press secretary. There's no data to look at. This isnt what science is lol As usual, the hard data supports sanity and normalcy not just in America's schools, but for everyone else as well. Ya... this isnt about science, this is about fanning the flames of an imagined culture war.
