>>13922073>That article has nothing to do with your argumentNever said it did it's just another example of their narrative falling apart bc reality does the opposite of what they wanted it to
>there was never any narrative about masks being ineffectual except from the morons that didn't want to wear themYou are completely delusional, like I said. Here is fauci himself openly saying on national TV there is no need to wear masks to stop spread because they don't provide the safety you think they do
https://youtu.be/PRa6t_e7dgI?t=27and the entire health-media establishment made truthful statements like this for 2-3 months. When they reversed this narrative they never explained why, just giving vague nonsense like "it's a pandemic now so we need to wear masks!"
>and the shortage only lasted a couple months which is why you saw articles telling you to stop buying them during that timeDon't give a shit that has nothing to do with the point. The point was they explained WHY masks don't work during that time and never offered a counter explanation why they were wrong during that 2 month period.
in an email feb 5th fauci says
>Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection>The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.The statements are 100% still true. There were no new papers on aerosol spread in 2020 that influenced their narrative to say Fauci's email statements were "wrong" and masks (ESPECIALLY cloth masks) were now useful beyond the near useless effect of stopping droplets.
