A lot of misrepresentation on this one and a CDC contradiction.
No, not 85% of all patients were found to be wearing masks. While Tucker and Trump seemed to be claiming that, it just wasn't true.
However, 85% of the patients
in the particular study reported wearing masks most of the time. Of course, this makes sense since
."CDC guidance on masks has clearly stated that wearing a mask is intended to protect other people in case the mask wearer is infected," It doesn't matter if the patient was wearing a mask, it matters whether the others were wearing masks.
The CDC spokesperson goes on to say,
"At no time has CDC guidance suggested that masks were intended to protect the wearers." Well, it does now. Which makes you wonder what those 131 patients that reported wearing masks all or most of the time think about that.
