Today, a doctor posted a video on Chinese TikTok claiming that masks can't prevent COVID or the flu. He's well-known and respected for his expertise in tumor assessment from CT images of pulmonary nodules and is considered an authority in that field.

"Please stop spreading nonsense. You’re an expert in lung tumors, but masks are in a completely different field, and it’s clear you haven’t studied them. I bet you don’t even know the national standards for masks or have ever read any of them.
Guess what? He deleted the video within a few hours.
A well-known doctor spreading disinformation can have a huge impact, and we need to stand up and call it out directly.
