It is from a hospital industry magazine, and quotes officials from the World Health Organization, Ontario's Science Advisory Group, and the University of Oxford. But hey, people in the rest of the world don't know anything. Americans should just sit like sheeple and believe everything their government tells them. American exceptionalism is grand, isn't it?

On my last few days of looking at news and I see that the internet now has people convinced that Pfizer's newly-approved antiviral is really just amped up Ivermectin.
Hasn’t the WHO been at odds in some aspects of Covid information with the CDC? That doesn’t make them any more “right “or “wrong” or embracers or deniers of The Science. To me it just proves that the high priests of THE SCIENCE jockey for position. Fauci is one such priest.
Only because folks are quoting and quotes show up:

I've seen comparisons of counties with and without mask mandates that show clear reductions in infection, and nearly every doctor I've seen/heard interviewed has emphasized the importance of proper mask wearing as part of the preventive armentarium against COVID.

I don't see that in the state by state comparisons. Maybe there is a placebo effect though. Or maybe people who wear masks are generally cautious people who do better at social distancing and other preventive measures. I remain unconvinced that masks, especially as I see them worn in real life, are effective. You wrote "proper mask wearing". That's not letting it hang below your nose, taking it off when you talk so people can hear you more clearly, touching it all the time, using any random cloth mask, etc. I have seen some of the experiments demonstrated on TV - a mask is placed on some type of stand and particles are shot against it while it sits there properly in place and stationary. Then the mask is removed and particles are shot again and more get through. That is not a realistic model of what happens with human beings.
