PDMJ: Study on masks from Vermont
“The survey discovered that among respondents who experience difficulties every time they wear a mask: most experience multiple difficulties every time; pre-existing conditions are worsening; and several are not accessing essential services because they cannot wear a mask. Also, 66% of respondents who experience difficulties every time are required to wear a mask at work, and most of them reported working an average of 4 - 5 days per week and between 5 - 8+ hours each day. While the true extent of the health dangers Vermonters are facing by wearing masks is unknown, these survey results suggest that caution around their use is warranted, and more research needs to be done to assess their safety.”
