Right. And you know those things are useless; otherwise, the Big T would’ve had more of them!
What it needed was flame throwers to melt the icebergs.
My cousin’s brother’s girlfriend was crushed to death by a lifeboat once. They’re dangerous and should be banned!
Is your cousin’s brother named Daryll?
Both of my cousin’s brothers are named Daryll.
Heh, both of my cousin’s sisters are named Daryll.
uncle grandpa, that you?
And still the fact remains that Dr Fauci admitted to saying masks weren’t necessary during the early days of the pandemic.
So what?
That’s not a lie.
A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone.
He never intended to deceive anyone, and as has been stated multiple times in this tread, his guidance changed with increasing knowledge of the virus.
He stated his concern for N-95 masks used for medical personnel. If as you’re asserting, he didn’t have the knowledge that the masks were necessary then they weren’t necessary for medical personnel. You can’t have it both ways.
Putting that aside, the lack of science would dictate that a wider protocol be used and not a narrower one. We rallied as a nation to step and make masks when the need was established. Had there been some direction as to the best materials to use we could have increased the effectiveness of the masks.
Dr Fauci’s public presence was substantial and positive once his position on masks changed. It doesn’t make his earlier position a good one.
Yes, but the curtain was slow in coming up.
Magiver, Ford’s Theater, April 14th, 1865.
What do you think of Rand Paul’s position?
I don’t see why we’re giving China money for a program we can’t monitor. If they can afford an aircraft carrier they can fund their own lab.
Given their treatment of Hong Kong, Australia, Muslim internment camps, and threats to Taiwan I don’t see any area of trust.
Sooo…you have no problem with Rand Paul’s position?
You have proof of what went on in the Wuhan Lab?
What do you think of Rand Paul’s past and continuing opinions on Covid, masking and vaccines?
OK lets talk this through slowly. (non-paywalled links provided by my 10 gifts a month from NY times subscription)
Early in the pandemic it is believed that N95 masks are the only mask that works. I distinctly remember this information because my wife is a severe germophobe with a severe underlying health condition that affect her immunity, and so bought a number of masks on ebay in mid February when they were expensive but not unobtainable.
At the time it was thought that Covid was passed in the publc primarily through surface contact. They thought that you wouldn’t catch Covid unless someone was basically coughing directly in your face. So for most people buying an N95 mask was unnecessary. However the one person who would be likely to have a Covid patient coughing directly in their face is a hospital worker struggling to intubate an ill patient.
The one place where masks might be useful is preventing an infected person from spreading the disease. So somone with symptoms might want to wear one, but that person should be issolated anyway. Medical personel on the other hand need that to protect their patients when performing surgery and the like. If a bunch of scared people start buying up surgical masks there won’t be enough for medical professionals who actually need them.
So what was Dr Fauci saying at the time?
-
N95 masks will stop Covid spread through the air (True)
-
Most people besides medical personnel don’t need to worry about that (False but believed at the time)
-
So N95 masks should be reserved for medical personell to prevent scarcity (True)
-
Regular masks won’t prevent people wearing them from becoming infected (False but believed at the time)
-
But they will prevent people from spreading infections (True)
-
But asymptomatic people don’t need to worry about that (False but believed at that time)
-
Medical personnel on the other hand do need these masks (True)
-
To prevent scarcity normal people need to stop buying these masks as well (False but believed at the time)
Several weeks later it was found that there were a lot of asymptomatic carriers, and so it was generally thought that everyone should wear masks. Which was immediately undercut by Trump saying he probably wouldn’t wear one.
Some people were concerned that masks might give a false sense of security and undercut social distancing, Faucci was still concerned about the supply chain. But he and everyone else was agreeing at that point that masks were effective in preventing the spread of Covid.
Later still it was found airborne rather than surface transmission was the primary infection vector. that the supply chain on non-N95 masks wasn’t a problem, and that the airborne particles were large enough that ordinary masks did actually protect. At that point only an idiot would think that not wearing masks was a good idea, but then the idiots led by Rand Paul and the like came out in force.
So in closing as he stated, made his recommendation based on an incorrect idea of certain masks being less effective than they turned out to be, and on making sure that healthcare workers had adequate supply which may as it turns out have been unwarranted for the non-N95 masks, but he didn’t make any statement that he did not believe at that time.
Rand Paul on the other hand …
