Herman: What some media refuses to tell you about Covid: masks don’t work, schools should open

Jul 14, 2020, 2:01 PM | Updated: 6:35 pm

On Tuesday Morning, Dr. Andrew Bostom joined the Todd Herman Show to discuss his article “Maskerade: COVID-1984 and evidence-free compulsory masking,” and his research into the Covid. Andrew is an academic M.D., a former internist and has focused on studying epidemiology. Weeks before he came on the show, Todd and he communicated on Twitter, where Andrew used public data and research to clearly and concisely explain that:

  • The World “Health” Organization and the CDC know masks do not inhibit viral transmission, including influenza, of which the Covid is a type.
  • 18-34 year olds face almost no risk from the Covid. Kids are at far greater risk of death from the flu than they are from the Covid and the risks for either are infinitesimally small.
  • Children do not pass the Covid onto caregivers or teachers.

Here is Dr. Bostom’s appearance on The Todd Herman Show and below some of his tweets that caused Todd to invite him on the show.
