Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) walked away from YouTube over COVID censorship disputes —specifically surrounding his videos on mask effectiveness. Now, a new New York Times article supports Paul’s claims and the Senator wants to know if YouTube plans on, uh…
“Does this mean snot-nosed censors at YouTube will come to my office and kiss my … and admit I was right?” Paul tweeted.

The article, entitled “The C.D.C. concedes that cloth masks do not protect against the virus as effectively as other masks,” says the following (excerpts):
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday clarified its stance on various kinds of masks, acknowledging that the cloth masks frequently worn by Americans do not offer as much protection as surgical masks or respirators.
The C.D.C. also said regular surgical masks were “an acceptable alternative” for doctors and nurses when interacting with a patient infected with the coronavirus — a move that angered medical personnel.
Critics charged that the recommendations were based not on what would best protect Americans, and were instead prompted by a shortage of N95 respirators.
When the C.D.C. finally recommended masks for ordinary Americans, it emphasized cloth face coverings. It took months more for the C.D.C. and the W.H.O. to concede that the coronavirus can be carried by tiny droplets called aerosols, which can linger indoors for hours.
