Ben Swann: BUSTED! (Patreon)

This video was published on the day when the US hit an all time record for confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and deaths hit about 1000 per day (again). This is roughly a 9/11 ever 3 days, or two a week. There are no signs of the cases in the US even plateauing, let alone going down. 

Enter stage left Ben Swann. Hes convinced he has the science to show masks don’t reduce the spread rate in a pandemic.  In fact he goes so far to say masks can make you black out and damage your health. The thing is, the studies he cites don’t say what he claims they do. In reality none of them deal with the use of masks to reduce the spread of a virus in a pandemic. Meanwhile studies that address that question suggest that wearing masks reduces you chances of coughing out the virus by a factor of about 3. This alone is enough to contain the pandemic.

You man not be surprised to know Ben is a contributor to Russia Today.
