A nurse praises Times columnist Michael Hiltzik for pointing out how the opponents of mask mandates overstate the findings of some studies.
. In my opinion, the New York Times’ publication of Bret Stephens’ column suggesting that masks do not provide protection against COVID-19 is ridiculous and negligent.
I am a registered nurse and an infection prevention consultant in the skilled nursing home industry, and I have been working alongside heroic healthcare workers throughout the pandemic. I have seen with my own eyes how masks protect people from acquisition and transmission of COVID-19. After I read Stephens’ article, I read the Cochrane Library review that Stephens cited because I always like to check sources of information. It was clear to me that Stephens’ conclusion did not match what the Cochrane review said. He referenced a source that he clearly failed to read thoroughly.I suggest that readers always check the credibility of anyone making outrageous claims. It works for me.
