and you should read it yourself

During an interview in early May, Osterholm said non-medical cloth masks have "little impact, if any" in preventing the spread of COVID-19, and followed that later in May after Minneapolis enacted a face mask mandate, saying it could do "more harm than good."

But he says these comments are now being mischaracterized and are not being discussed in their full context, namely that he doesn't want people wearing face masks to feel they're invulnerable to the virus, and as such don't follow more effective ways of limiting transmission of the virus, such as social distancing.




He's on record as stating that he wears a mask because of peer pressure.
