The Washington Post obtained 866 pages of Fauci emails via the Freedom of Information Act.

The emails are from February, March and April 2020.


quote:

“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 material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you,” Fauci wrote. “I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location. Your instincts are correct, money is best spent on medical countermeasures such as diagnostics and vaccines.”

The Elites ran the BS narrative to change Fauci's mind w BS studies about mask.....

TRUMP BAD...It's his fault he mishandled the virus. So WEARING your MASK is a reminder it's ALL TRUMP's fault.

If you get angry enough about the stupid mask maybe you will not vote for Trump

CDC Dems = low life scum!

Bastard.

Edit: That email is dated February 5th. Isn’t that a little on the early side for him to be making statements like this? I seem to remember covid becoming an issue later than that.

The blanket excuse for this will be, “science is a constantly evolving process” to which I would query at what point do we stop bending with every ebb and flow and settle on something for the sake of sanity/practicality?

Way too early indeed for anyone to have been speaking in fact... unless of course you already knew exactly what was coming.

It seems prettly clear at this point Fauci tried to fight the pandemic with the placebo effect.

The TD thread discussing it started on January 23 or so. About two weeks prior.

The actual scientific approach is to continue operating as usual (no mask and no rushed vaccine) until you have peer reviewed studies with reproducible evidence showing an intervention works (with no major safety concerns) in different areas of the country with different populations.

That way you don’t confuse people and create social chaos and division.

Unless, you want to create social chaos and division in an attempt to grab more power and money for yourself.

I remember this a-hole stating this publicly in the beginning then completely flopping on masks when the media narrative shifted focus to countries that hadn't experienced the rona surges.

YET.

Unnecessary.

I think we all know this, but the emails indicate that not only did he spout this on 60', he was in direct communication with other government officials that masks weren't going to be effective.

In fairness to him, he got run over by the politicos. The damned masks became an anti-Trump/anti-GOP symbol of sorts that the woke mob and the media outlets rallied around. It drove an idiotic public policy and there probably wasn't anything Fouci could do to stop it....so he hopped aboard the train to Idiocracy.

At the time prevalence was low

When prevalence is higher...

There might be some obvious benefit
