I had a chance to interview Dr. Michael Osterholm. He is an epidemiologist and the Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the U of M. His doesn’t believe in mask mandate since they don’t necessarily work, at least the ones that the majority wear. For masks to work, you would need to wear the proper ones, N95s and similar because those have been proven to protect a person from aerosols, airborne particles and droplets. He does believe in vaccinations and boosters, since those have been proven to work.
