    MIAMI (AP) – President Donald Trump says, without evidence, that people who wear face masks are getting infected with the coronavirus “all the time.”

    Trump made the claim Thursday under questioning during an NBC News town hall event in Miami.

    The president was asked about a large White House gathering Sept. 26 that is believed to be a source of coronavirus infections in many people who attended, including the president and first lady Melania Trump. Most guests didn’t wear masks.

    Trump says he’s “good with masks” before claiming that “people with masks are catching it all the time.” Trump rarely wears a mask himself.

    The director to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said wearing a mask is the best way to prevent infection, short of a vaccine that is still in development.

    Not true. The cdc says 70 percent of people who were hospitalized always wore masks. In the remaining percentage many occasionaly wore mask. See article in daily world news/matzav. Trump is just qouting the cdc.

    The CDC site shows that over 70% of infected wear masks all the time. 85% wear them all or most of the time. So, the media is what it is, as is Fauci, disingenuous or phony.

    How many people will continue to make this claim about a study by the CDC that 85% of Covid patients wore masks? Did you find the study? Did you read such a study? The article on matzav with a link to the World Net Daily Article contains a link to an “investigative reporter” who made this claim. When you click on his “link” you find a CDC study on a completely different topic. Talk about fake news. Why do you keep repeating without verifying?!

    The article states Trump is claiming without evidence that people hwo wear mask get infected all the time.

    Well without evidence? Did you see the latest CDC study? 70% of people infected reported wearing a mask most of the time vs 3.9% infection people saying the NEVER wear a mask….

    If this ain’t evidence not sure what is. Look it up it’s a CDC study! Their very own data!

    Why would one spend much time on this liberal website. Their articles are from AP a known never Trump or anti-trump organization. As with most of the liberal media, they continue to either lie directy, take statitics out of context or do not fairly represent any other side. Heardly media but definitely today’s media.

    Pure Democratic double speak: As Joe Biden stated, wearing a mask is patrotism; because masks protect others and NOT you as the virus can enter through the masks ( not much with the N95s). But if a Republican gets covid…it is because he did not wear a mask aka Donald Trump even though he was probably tested twice daily as were all those around him. We call this double speak but the Democrats call it “the truth…even if the positions are opposite. Vote Only Republican ( with rare exception….though I do not know of anyone today)

    Maybe i should have been more clear. The article says that trumps claim was without evidence. This is false. Trumps claims that while masks do help they do not prevent you from getting the virus. As mentioned by others they only protect other people. So when trump says a fact that evreyone knows backed up by the cdc the press labels him as a politician who thinks hes a scientist. This happens to be a big biden talking point what a coincidence.
