Governmental orders to wear masks did not impede the spread of the covid pandemic. Mask mandates didn't achieve their purpose according to the New York Times. Unnecessarily isolating and hiding people from each other was an unintended consequence.
Finally mainstream media is publishing a correction. In this case, government policy did not "follow the science."
The science was published way early in the pandemic by 239 scientists. Why did the World Health Organization (WHO) not follow it?
"Follow the science!" is the demand you sometimes hear from experts, who may not always be right. Questions and civil debate are never out of order! Cancel culture wants to shout down all challenges - Twitter and Youtube are just two examples. But we need free speech, to make sure that truth is not suppressed.
