CV - Masks Do Not Work

Matt Hancock – 24 April 2020 – Online Interview - “The evidence for the use of masks by the general public – especially outdoors – is extremely weak…”
Government Briefing Statement on 24 April 2020 - “The evidence on facemasks has always been quite variable… quite weak, quite difficult to know and there’s no real trials on it.”
Chris Whitty – 4 March - “In terms of wearing a mask, if you don’t have an infection really reduces the risks… almost not at all…”
28 April 2020 – Government Briefing - The recommendation from SAGE is completely clear – which is that there is weak evidence of a small effect in which a face mask can prevent a source of infection going from someone who is infected to the people around them.
