Twitter Deletes Tweet From Top Trump Coronavirus Adviser Undermining Mask Use

Quote:
Twitter decided to outright delete a tweet from one of President Donald Trump’s top coronavirus advisers, Scott Atlas, that alleged widespread use of masks was not effective to slow the spread of COVID-19. As of Sunday, Twitter had removed the tweet and replaced it with a note that reads “This Tweet is no longer available.” A spokesman for Twitter confirmed that the tweet “was in violation of our COVID-19 Misleading Information Policy” that “prohibits sharing false or misleading content related to COVID-19 which could lead to harm.”

A CDC review in May found that mask usage led to no significant reduction in influenza transmission.

Here is the studies review

From the Abstract "Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza."

UT's note, a more recent COVID-specific study found masks very useful.

"... there was nobody left to speak for me." Alt-left shocked to find silicon valley censorship doesn't just apply to alt-right, comes for them too as they are banned from Twitter and Reddit:
