>>11852050>Its absolutely baffling why they blatantly lied about it, even up to last month they were lying about the effectiveness of face coverings and Fauci flat out admitted it last week that they HAD to lie.Thank you, I didn't know about this.
"Masks are not 100% protective. However, they certainly are better than not wearing a mask. Both to prevent you, if you happen to be a person who may feel well, but has an asymptomatic infection that you don't even know about, to prevent you from infecting someone else," said Fauci. "But also, it can protect you a certain degree, not a hundred percent, in protecting you from getting infected from someone who, either is breathing, or coughing, or sneezing, or singing or whatever it is in which the droplets or the aerosols go out. So masks work."
"Well, the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply. And we wanted to make sure that the people namely, the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected."
I know I was here back in late February and early March saying that the evidence suggested masks work, and that the CDC was outright lying because they hadn't stockpiled enough PPE. I wasn't the only one. Even yesterday, I was being told by someone that the CDC couldn't recommend masks because the evidence for them wasn't there, despite there being plenty of evidence dating all the way back to SARS in 2003. Now we're stuck dealing with people who are convinced masks don't work because the CDC and WHO refused to endorse them from the beginning.
