Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway cited the lack of concrete scientific evidence to support widespread mask-wearing to contend that the media has “overstated their confidence” in the practice and are using it as a “political cudgel” against skeptics.
Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz introduced the topic on Sunday morning’s “Media Buzz” by pointing out prominent Republicans who are now encouraging mask usage, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
“Why are the pundits so rankled that President Trump is not a leading proponent of mask-wearing?” Kurtz asked Hemingway.

gee, Mollie, no crap; you just figured this out now...?
Ping.
If Trump said something positive about drinking water, in two hours there would be a dozen tweets by “leading” commentators claiming this is proof that he is trying to drown poor people.
Effective as dust through chain link fence.

If Trump went out there and pleaded with everyone to wear a mask our whole damn mask problem would be DONE!! The media would be SCREAMING for everyone to remove their masks they are very harmful!!
During the ‘90s, a notorious, radical, socialist feminist proclaimed, “The personal is political.” That’s what led to the insanity of politics today. It’s a trap devised for anarchy to pave the way to communism.
It’s not rocket science:
1. You can’t breathe easily through common mask fabric, so you inhale and exhale around the edges of the mask. (That’s why glasses fog up.) Thus, the same germs that you might sneeze out are being steadily breathed out into whatever space you are sharing.
2. The fabric itself is too coarse to trap viruses. Anyone disputing this can try to prove me wrong by breathing air exhaled by an Ebola victim that is filtered only by common mask fabric. But first update your will.
3. Because you cannot easily breathe through the fabric, your body has to work harder to obtain given amounts of oxygen, and you are inhaling some stale mask air as you breathe. People can get used to this, just as they can get used to working in 100 degree heat; but the body is still having to work harder to get oxygen.
Even the WHO Is Saying You Shouldn’t Wear a Mask in Public All the Time..

Mask wearing contained the virus in other nations. Mask wearing can contain it here, too.
You're one of those narcissistic virtue-signalers who call your superstitions "science," aren't ya?
‘it’s worth repeating, over and over again, until even those not tuning in to the news, hear it through the repetitiveness.’
fine, fine...
Mollie Hemingway is neat!
where are the science for that?
Which is more affective against viruses, a cloth mask or maintaining the recomended level of vitamin D?
Who cares.
