U.S. Sen. Rand Paul hit back at YouTube "censors" on Saturday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged that cloth masks do not work as well against the coronavirus as N95 makes.
The Kentucky Republican wondered if YouTube would be apologizing for suspending him earlier this year for saying the same thing.
"Does this mean snot-nosed censors at YouTube will come to my office and kiss my … and admit I was right?" Paul wrote.
In a New York Times article cited by Paul, who is a certified physician, the CDC revised its previous position on masks, saying that "loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection" and recommended surgical masks instead.
