The CDC has revised its guidelines on masks, admitting that cloth masks do virtually nothing to stop the spread of COVID. The move prompted Senator Rand Paul to comment, reminding social media users that YouTube previously suspended him for saying the same thing.
The CDC announced that “loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection.”
Who would have known?
That’s only been common knowledge since the very beginning of the pandemic.
“Does this mean snot-nosed censors at YouTube will come to my office and kiss my … and admit I was right?” Paul tweeted.
A video Paul posted last year in which he dismissed cloth masks as an effective method of preventing the spread of COVID landed him a YouTube suspension, with the company claiming the content violated its policy on COVID-19 misinformation.
YouTube said that it was misinformation to suggest “that wearing a mask is dangerous or causes negative physical health effects’ or that masks don’t play a role in preventing the contraction or transmission of COVID-19.”
While the CDC is finally admitting cloth masks are useless, it’s not part of a move away from masks. Instead, it’s intended to promote the use of stronger K95 masks that many find even more inhibiting.
The CDC notes that “well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95s” provide more protection against the virus, and is now urging Americans to “wear the most protective mask that you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently.”
Two months ago, The New York Times published an article citing “experts” who say mask wearing is now “normalized” and could remain in place permanently even when the pandemic ends.
Governments have been accused of obsessively pushing face masks as both a constant visual reminder for the pandemic, and as a “punishment” for those who continue to oppose restrictions and vaccine mandates.

For those of us who were bitterly disappointed with Rand’s presidential bid, watering down his (sainted) father’s message of liberty, to straddle the middle ground with the ruling elite, his recent interactions with Fauci are encouraging to say the least. He has found his voice. Now I hope he widens his scope to attack, not only Fauci but the entire corrupt health care apparatus so plainly uncovered in RFK Jr’s book. The tide is turning, Rand. Attack with all guns blazing!
Hey Rand, if they kiss you ass, make sure you fart when they do it. In fact, load up on beans the night before.
Sorry Mr. Paul, Youtube will just censor the CDC as Youtube is the authority on all things now.
We will decide what is dis information not the CDC.
Anyone who has been a politician for very long, no longer represents the people…they represent their own interests. Sad, but true.
But people calling themselves adults will say “but this one is not all bad!”.
This man is pathetic. He is just a politician whoring himself out like the rest. First one compromise then another and before long the Turtle was ramming him behind whenever he needed to win an election.
Implicit endorsement of surgical masks.
The N95 masks are just a useless as the blue cloth ones.
I says so right on the box. More lies. It takes fractionally
longer than no mask at all to become infected with an N95.
Confirmed by dozens of studies.
