White House pandemic adviser Scott Atlas criticized Twitter for removing his post about mask-wearing amid the pandemic, comparing the move to the extreme censorship employed by North Korea and the Soviet Union.
Atlas, the new go-to public health adviser to President Donald Trump, on Sunday expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of masks in helping slow the spread of the CCP virus. “Masks work? NO,” he wrote, alongside examples of places where cases of infection are currently on the rise despite mask-wearing rules being enforced. The post also contained quotes from the World Health Organization, Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, and the Centers for Disease Control.
