Burnet Institute, a leading medical organisation, has been torn to shreds over its misleading research around the effectiveness of masks.

The institute provided health advice to both NSW and Victorian governments, which was based on research that examined 44 photographs from BEFORE and AFTER the introduction of mandatory masks in public spaces. 

From those photos, Burnet Institute concluded that the number of people wearing masks had increased to 97 per cent, which is now believed to be untrue, as the institute has not provided the methodology of their study. 

“They concluded masks were working based on photos from a newspaper…Seriously?” said Ben.
