The part in the article, the quote by Rand Paul, is simply a fact. And they suspended him for saying it.
Most over counter masks these days are of the plain cloth variety. The smaller particles of which make up covid-19 would pass right through such a mask.
The masks will only block out tiny tiny portions, if that. It's better for a sick person maybe. Helping prevent someone from releasing droplets into the air should they sneeze or cough. They should have ramped up production of the N95 masks and continued and continued and kept on going. This way the medical field could get masks as would the public. Instead they lied and then the public were wearing mainly useless masks, and still are.

Coronavirus Censorship
YouTube just froze Sen. Rand Paul’s YouTube channel.
That’s just wrong. Small-minded. Counterproductive.
YouTube says Paul violated their COVID-19 misinformation policy when he told an interviewer, “Most of the masks you get over the counter don’t work … virus particles are too small and go right through.”
Paul didn’t make that up.
Properly worn N95 masks are effective, but two peer-reviewed studies suggest that simple masks might not work at all.
But the studies aren’t perfect, so Paul shouldn’t use phrases like “no value.” But give him a break; that’s how people talk! It’s good if he tells people not to trust cloth masks.
Unfortunately, YouTube bans any video that contradicts pronouncements of the World Health Organization. The rule makes it impossible to criticize WHO policy, even though one WHO video says “wear a mask regardless of the distance from others.”
WHO bureaucrats aren’t perfect. They made many mistakes during COVID-19. Other health “experts” once rejected germ theory and told people with ulcers to drink milk.
Such mistakes got corrected through criticism and debate. But YouTube now forbids that!
Last month, Paul got into a heated debate with Dr. Anthony Fauci over money the National Institutes of Health gave to Chinese scientists. Paul asked if it was used to do “gain-of-function” research (science that makes diseases deadlier– to learn more about them).
Paul didn’t suggest that the experiment the U.S. government funded created COVID-19. It didn’t. We know that because of COVID-19’s molecular structure.
