Published 22 April 2021 The Stanford University School of Medicine issued a statement disavowing a study being circulated online that claims face masks are “worthless” against COVID-19. The author, Baruch Vainshelboim, a sports doctor with no experience in infectious disease, listed his credentials as working for the “Cardiology Division, Veteran Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System/Stanford University,” but representatives from both the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Stanford’s medical school told AP Vainshelboim does not work at either institution. A Johns Hopkins University infectious disease expert said that the study “does not provide any strong evidence for the statement,” that masks are inefficient at preventing the spread of the infection.
