Tell me about livescience.com [View all]

A cursory inspection suggests that it's a crank website devoted to fringe contrarianism masked as "skepticism," but I don't want to be to hasty in my judgment.

The reason I ask is that I've been arguing with an "I'll never wear a fucking mask" type of asshole, who cited a livescience article as his source saying that masks are unnecessary at best and harmful at worst.


Your thoughts?


TIA
