Covid 19 Coronavirus: Strictly Come Dancing Star Brendan Coles Claims Masks Don’t Work, Criticized On Social Media

New Zealand-born ballroom dancer Brendan Cole was criticized for a social media post in which he doubted the efficacy of wearing masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The former “Strictly Come Dancing” pro has come under fire for his “totally irresponsible” Instagram post in which he tried to argue that there was no evidence that the masks stopped Covid-19.

“The first randomized trial of more than 6000 people to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical masks against Sars-CoV-2 infection did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection,” he published.

“The so-called ‘Danmask-19 trial’, published on November 18, 2020 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, included 3,030 people assigned to wear a surgical mask and 2,994 controls without a mask.”

The post was a “repost” from another account.

Cole’s fans were quick to criticize him for sharing the message and urged him to remove the post. Many also let you know that they would unfollow you for spreading “misinformation” and “putting others at risk.”

Medical professionals also weighed in on the comments.

“Think before you share shit that conforms to what you want to believe, or else you will become directly responsible for causing harm to people,” commented Dr. Joshua Wolrich.

“Do the right thing and delete this information.”

“That is not what we need at the moment. Follow the bl *** guide and use to protect others,” said a Scottish nurse as well.

“I work in the health sector and I have had patients who refuse to wear masks due to this type of misinformation that puts others at risk,” said another of his followers.

The UK-based Kiwi dancer was accused of spreading “fake news” and told to “keep dancing”.

This is not the first time that professional dancer Kiwi has shared his controversial views on the pandemic.

“For the first time in recent history we are being controlled in many ways. Why can’t we protest?” he previously wrote.

“Why can’t we have an opinion and discuss these differences of opinion openly without being silenced or insulted?” He added.
