Just a comment on fact checkers. I think many of us may have experienced Facebook putting a fact check on some of our posts. it's funny really, because I don't post unless I have sources to back it up.
Anyway, yesterday I posted about the many studies coming out of Europe and the U.S. saying cloth masks do very little to protect against the virus. Facebook slapped a fact check on me that said that assertion was completely false.
Youtube even suspended Dan Bongino's account for stating the same thing.
