Face Masks Made "Little To No Difference" In Curbing Spread Of Covid, According To New Study
The narrative about masks, social distancing, and vaccines kept changing over and over again during the coronavirus pandemic. New research suggests that the mask mandates did nothing for us, as they don't stop the spread of a virus.
There were 39 American states that instated a mask mandate at some point during the Covid pandemic. Only until recently did some of these states decide to end the mandate. Whether or not your state enacted the mask rule, you've probably been required to wear a mask at some point in the last few years, whether it's for travel or going to a doctor appointment. We were told for years that the mask mandate was our single best shot at curbing the spread of coronavirus and the people who questioned the efficacy of masks were called selfish grandma killers who didn't really care about preventing the spread of the virus. Well, it turns out those people were right to raise reasonable concern about masks. A recent study suggests they're not nearly as effective as they're made out to be.
