Stop lying to us about masks!

Ace of Spades links to Tucker Carlson, who calls for the government to stop lying to us about the efficacy of masks. Ace writes,

Tucker Carlson: The Government Needs to Stop Lying to Us About Coronavirus
—Ace
He means, specifically, the stories the government put out that "masks don't help you avoid transmitting, or even contracting, the virus."

That was a lie. The lie was told in order to reduce demand on masks, so that health workers -- who do of course have a more pressing need for them -- could get them.

It was a lie, and now people still believe the lie and are still saying "masks don't help."

And can you blame them? The people whose guidances and orders we are supposed to follow without question were just telling us the lie that masks don't work, in order to free up supply for high-risk personnel.
