the Redstate's cut and paste hatchet job.

Does Jeffrey Klausner, one of the doctors mentioned, believe mask mandates are minimally effective? YES. Klausner also says: "the mask mandate was followed by a gradual rise in cases, but it’s possible the mandate prevented a much steeper climb."

But Klausner has not ruled out mask-wearing. “I do believe mask use has a role,” he said. “In the hospital the person has to wear a mask.” When he sees patients that have, or might have, an infectious disease, he always wears a mask, he added.

“The evidence at a population level says it has very little, if any effect. That doesn’t mean it won’t protect some individuals,” he said.

Furthermore, while Klausner opposes mask mandates at schools, he recommends all the children at up to date on their vaccines and boosters. Hence, if you're going to promote this study, YOU ARE ALSO ENDORSING VACCINES and BOOSTERS for all.

Finally, there are other doctors in the article who believe masks do work. The article is far more nuanced than the hatchet job from Redstate.
