President Donald Trump shared a tweet on Thursday that argued the mandated use of face masks to control the spread of the coronavirus represents a"culture of silence, slavery, and social death."
"Mandatory masks are a critical predicate conditioning us to accept abuses of our liberty," columnist Molly McCann wrote in the Wednesday piece. Conservative columnist Lee Smith shared McCann's piece on Twitter and wrote,"Masks aren't about public health but social control. Image of Biden in black mask endorses culture of silence, slavery, and social death."
Studies have shown that surgical face masks slow the spread of COVID-19. And there is well-documented evidence that even homemade cloth masks help reduce the spread of particles expelled through the nose and mouth and decrease the risk of infecting others. Officials in countries that have better controlled their coronavirus outbreaks say universal mask-wearing has helped in that effort.
