In
2018, the CDC said this about wearing a mask during flu season: “
very little information is available about the effectiveness of face masks and respirators in controlling the spread of pandemic influenza in community settings.”
The flu has been around forever and yet “very little information is available" about the effectiveness of masks?
What changed from 2018 to 2020 that the CDC could have “very little information" to "follow the science"?
