Should you wear two masks, as Dr. Anthony Fauci has recently recommended?
Not if youre wise, says an infectious disease expert.
Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, a professor at the University of
Minnesota and a Biden transition team advisor, made his comments both in
an interview with WCCO Radio last week and also on Meet the Press on
Sunday.
The professor, head of his universitys Center for Infectious Disease
Research and Policy, €śsaid Faucis recommendation to wear two masks at
once to stop viral infections made no epidemiological sense,€ť The
College Fix, writes, reporting on Osterholms WCCO appearance.

Citing The New American as a reference source is problematic if you're
trying to influence the entire political spectrum of potential readers.

Hmmm, "Overall, we rate the New American Right Biased based on story
selection that always favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting
due to rejecting the consensus of science and poor sourcing techniques.."
But why would I want to read anything that might disagree with what I

ridiculous, can find an adherent on Usenet."
