 Fauci admits to lack of COVID mask evidence — but wants us to wear them anyway

Dr. Anthony Fauci flip-flopped once again on masking as a means to tamp down COVID-19 as he admitted that a wide-ranging study found that face masks made no difference in the course of the pandemic.

“I am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations,” Fauci told CNN’s Michael Smerconish Saturday in a segment flagging a rise in COVID cases nationwide.

Federal agencies and state and local governments decreed onerous mask mandates for airplanes, schools, public transit, restaurants, workplaces and more starting in 2020 — thanks largely to Fauci, the public face of the nation’s official COVID response.

As the White House’s chief medical adviser, Fauci gave conflicting advice on the efficacy of masking, first saying it was unnecessary for the general public, then that “universal wearing of masks is the most practical way to go.”

Here was Rachel Maddow, on national TV on NBC at the start of the COVID pandemic, instructing everyone not to wear masks -- masks were not just unhelpful but harmful for those without COVID symptoms. This was what Fauci said.

A month later, saying this was prohibited online:

MUST WATCH: Fauci fumbles when CNN presents evidence that masks don't prevent Covid spread
He admitted the same in a past email to a former Obama admin official.

On Saturday, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted that wearing a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 lacked supporting data.

In an interview with CNN's Michael Smerconish, Fauci said that there are studies that "show at an individual level, for individuals, they might be protective," but "when you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong."

Fauci was asked to respond to a New York Times article where Oxford Senior Associate Tutor and epidemiologist Tom Jefferson said, "The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses - including COVID-19 - was published last month." The study concluded, "There is just no evidence that [masks] make any difference."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What, is he getting a commission?

Got any other useless gestures you want us to comply with?

Something, "safe and effective", maybe?

Piss off you bloody wart.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

:shrug:

I knew they were lying early on. They haven't quit much, just admit it when there is no way not to, but still want the same useless measures. .. and another shot. :thud:

I knew it too, right off the get-go... but then, through painting and materials handling, I understand masks innately. And their bullcrap was evident to me from there.

A DC area elementary school — Montgomery County, Maryland — is reinstating a mask mandate — N95’s — for third graders over a few kids testing positive for covid. Here’s the letter. They’re coming with masks for your kids again. Get ready. Read this insanity.
