MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 11th August, 2021) YouTube has suspended US Republican Sen. Rand Paul for seven days after he posted a video in which he claimed that cloth masks were ineffective in containing the spread of COVID-19.

Paul went to Twitter to call his suspension a "badge of honor." The senator explained that his video quoted two peer-review articles on cloth masks and urged subscribers to watch the video on other platforms.
