Unmasked
The global failure of Covid mask mandates
Ian Miller
Published by Post Hill Press, 2022
Since early 2020, masks have been promoted by experts and implemented as mandates by politians
in an attempt to slow the spread of Covid-19... But a thorough examination of the data shows they've failed.
Masks have been a ubiquitous and oft-politicized aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Years of
painstakingly organized pre-pandemic planning documents led public health experts to initially
discourage the use of masks, or even insinuate that they could lead to increased rates of spread.
Yet seemingly in a matter of days in spring 2020, leading infectious disease scientists and
organizations reversed their previous positions and recommended masking as the key tool to slow
the spread of COVID and dramatically reduce infections.
Unmasked tells the story of how effective or ineffective masks and mask mandate policies were
in impacting the trajectory of the pandemic throughout the world.
Author Ian Miller covers the earliest days of the pandemic, from experts such as Dr. Anthony
Fauci contradicting their previous statements and recommending masks as the most important
policy intervention against the spread of COVID, to the months afterward as many locations
around the globe mandated masks in nearly all public settings.
With easy-to-understand charts and visual aids, along with detailed, clear explanations of the
dramatic shift in policy and expectations, Unmasked makes the data-driven case that masks
might not have achieved the goals that Fauci and other public health experts created.
