..."Based on extensive review and analysis, there is no question in my mind that healthy people should not be wearing surgical or cloth masks. Nor should we be recommending universal masking of all members of the population. That recommendation is not supported by the highest level of scientific evidence. "

..."The CoVID-19 pandemic is about viral transmission. Surgical and cloth masks do nothing to prevent viral transmission. We should all realize by now that face masks have never been shown to prevent or protect against viral transmission. Which is exactly why they have never been recommended for use during the seasonal flu outbreak, epidemics, or previous pandemics. ... "

..."If a surgeon were sick, especially with a viral infection, they would not perform surgery as they know the virus would NOT be stopped by their surgical mask. " ...

This dude took way too long to say the only reason doctors wear masks is to avoid bacterial infection of open wounds.

Cant stop viral spread other than to block spittle.

When you have the internet at your disposal but just can’t seem to figure out how to accurately spell virologist.
