Another case of a headline that doesn't match the article.

The article does not even argue that face masks don't work, just that their adoption was based on a common-sense idea (catching droplets that could contain TB) that has not been proven.

The correct headline would be:

"Medical Officials Assume Face Masks Work But That Has Not Been Proven."

Much like several hundred years ago people thought lighter objects fell more slowly than heavier objects of the same shape. Scientific experiment proved that to be false.

I copied the title from the Youtube post. This is supposed to help prevent duplicate posts - we’d all be using the same title.
