Hundreds of anti-mask protesters protected by armed militia and bikers gather at the Ohio statehouse saying face coverings are 'propaganda' and holding 'I will not wear someone else's fear' signs

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A large anti-mask protest clashed with a Black Lives Matter counter-protest outside the Ohio statehouse on Saturday

  • Hundreds of armed protesters gathered in Columbus to stand against mask mandates in several counties in the state

  • Militia provided 'security' for the open carry and maskless event

  • Black Lives Matter protesters later formed their own demonstration

  • Heated exchanges erupted between the two groups and police were forced to keep them apart

  • One person was detained after a physical altercation between two members of different far-right groups

  • Ohio has no statewide mandate on wearing masks

#2  A bit over the top, perhaps.

However, WHO stresses that it is critical that medical masks and respirators be prioritized for health care workers. The use of masks made of other materials (e.g., cottonfabric), also known as nonmedical masks, in the community setting has not been well evaluated. There is no current evidence to make a recommendation for or against their use in this setting.

Maybe the anti-maskers support the World Health Organization; me, not so much.
