This MSM! So f...king money hungry making bogus headlines... just to get readers!
For example this headline:Medical workers share concerns about masks delivered by Patriots plane!
...Then you read the article:
When KN95 respirator masks are made right, authenticated, and properly tested, they are considered to have most, if not all, of the protective qualities of the N95 masks. The federal Food and Drug Administration on April 3 issued an exception to its strict regulation of respirators, releasing a statement saying it “would not object” to their use “for the duration of the pandemic.” The Centers for Disease Control has also deemed the KN95 mask a suitable alternative when N95 supplies are low.But while the masks appear to offer similar performance, they are not certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Fears of counterfeit masks run rampant, and many doctors are concerned they would put workers at risk.
Ann Scales, a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, acknowledged in an e-mail to the Globe last week that the shipment transported by the Patriots’ plane contained KN95 masks, though she declined to say what percentage of the shipment they made up.
“The masks in this shipment, N95 and KN95, were inspected upon arrival and are authorized by the FDA for health care workers," she said in a statement.
