A study comparing data between counties in Kansas found that those that mandated masks for COVID-19 had a higher rate of death than those that did not.
"Results from this study strongly suggest that mask mandates actually caused about 1.5 times the number of deaths or ∼50% more deaths compared to no mask mandates."
Foegen concluded: "These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention."
The Manhattan Institute's City Journal published a graph based on that data comparing the cases in the 11 states that never mandated masks with the 39 that did.
"The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you," wrote the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Fauci later said he told Americans they didn't need to wear a mask because he wanted to ensure there was enough supply for frontline workers.
"In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," he said.
