Top Masks for Defending Against Anti-Maskers
Boston area hospitals, including Massachusetts General Brigham, have dropped masking requirements, causing concern among immunocompromised patients. Dr. Shira Doron, chief infection control officer for Tufts, has argued against universal masking and downplayed the risks of Covid-19, including long Covid. However, data shows that long Covid prevalence remains significant, with 79% of those affected reporting limitations to their daily activities. Experts recommend using high-quality masks such as N95s or KN95s for better protection, while surgical masks can be made more effective with a mask brace. Critics argue that the dismissal of Covid-19 risks by medical leaders undermines health and safety efforts.
