One of the biggest issues with the pandemic has been the controversy of face masks and their effectiveness in preventing the spread of COVID-19. From left wing major media companies, to the authoritarian actions of the Democratic Government, we have been told to follow the science and wear our masks without question. We have been told to comply or else and to just take the word of the Government . Throughout the pandemic, knowledgeable medical professionals have worked diligently to question the notions of continued use of mask wearing and whether or not the mask is effective against COVID-19.
Below is a list of studies made by true medical professionals, showing that masks don’t work against COVID-19 and perhaps even do more harm than good. Read the many articles below and learn what these medical professionals have found regarding continued mask use.
