In addition to this statement, the WHO released a report last Friday that said:
“At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
And
“At the present time, the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider...”
Sort of like grapefruit - it’s bad for you, it’s good for you, it’s bad for you again, etc.
But the hoax lives on. Some can’t give up their COVIDism.
“At the present time, the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider...”

Screw scientific conjecture. The important thing is masks have been latched onto by the Left as the trifecta of being a virtue signaling device, a means of public shaming, and evidence of control.
Hardly any customers in stores wear them here in western Colorado. Employees have to. But they pull them up and down constantly, it’s hysterical. I wear a bandana around my neck. At the checkout counter I pull it up until I step away.
Asked an employee at the local Murdocks (Ranch Supply store) if everyone there had stayed well and she said yes.
