Here is a short video from the CDC in March of this year. https://twitter.com/CDCgov/status/1238487810874789889

If you search Google news for "masks" between February and March you can see where the surgeon general and others were saying that masks may increase the likelihood of infection because of touching your face.

I'm glad someone spreading lies like that will be ever banned from youtube.

Did you even watch the video? 1. He says there is no need to wear masks in public "at this time". 2. He says there is no evidence that masks protect you against infections (which is of course something that can and did change over time) 3. He mentioned that touching your face can be dangerous, not that wearing masks increases the risk. I don't think anyone disputed this then or now.

That is something else than people saying now that there is no evidence that masks help, because now we have evidence.

Have you had to deal with youtube moderation?

Moderators watching videos is optional.
