There has been research on masks, man. Stanford most recently had one that I saw in my email recently. There have been dozens around the world.

And again, Fauci said as much at the time because he did not understand that the virus could be spread when one did not show symptoms. The quote without context doesn’t tell the entire story.

But sure, they lied intentionally, knowing it would kill people with their lies.

Trump quite literally referred to Covid as “the Democrats new hoax” for criticizing his downplaying of the virus, which he did.


The Democrats literally called trump a racist Nazi for wanting to suspend travel from Asia when this happened.

Everyone in DC is a piece of shite and all of them want to ruin your life. Wake up

This was also when they were unsure that the virus could spread when one was not showing symptoms


And this is different now?

You are attributing a reason for his comments that not even he has used when asked directly. I gave you the full fricking quote along with the exact question. It has all the context. You are simply in denial. There's no other explaining you doubling down on what he said (in full) less than a month ago to direct question.

Do actually have a hard time believing the government would do this? Id bet my life over 95% of government politicians do not give a single frick about you or your life. They’d trade your life for a handful of peanuts at a bar

Why are you defending Fauci? Why are you assigning rationale to his comments that not even he is claiming?

Personally, I think your version of events is actually worse.

The fricking person in charge of the response for the whole country doesn't think masks work. L O fricking L.

Everyone has a right to be out in public, even the sick. Would it be courteous for them to stay home? Sure. But if you are scared of getting sick you really shouldn't leave your house.

I’m not.

He should not have said that, obviously. It was dead wrong.

I’m saying I’m not buying that he knew it was going to spread even from asymptomatic people, and still told people not to wear masks. That is not me defending him. That is me looking at the bigger picture, with context, and hindsight.

We had a local FCA High School baseball league with six teams playing two games per week. One of the players tested positive last week. They shut the entire league down. Did you catch any of those games BG?

Why? Is a positive asymptomatic case still not a case that could spread to someone who could experience symptoms?


If you want to believe the health experts, no. Asymptomatic people are not likely to spread the virus.

If you are sick, stay home. If you are not, go live your life and let others live theirs.

Correct but also, asymptomatic is virtually impossible to actually diagnose. Mild symptoms can be very mild. And asymptomatic can also be pre-symptomatic

Trump defended Fauci and called him "his partner" today at 12:05 EST live on TV when getting ready to board Marine One On FOX, no less.

Look, if Fauci is such a liability - of all people - why can't Pence and Trump figure it out? Why keep him close? What's the 5D chess here?

Except I’m actually not. I’m simply saying your reason to be upset with him is misplaced.

You think he lied. I don’t think he lied. I think he addressed something too early without enough info.

Both arguments equal the same conclusion.

The only difference is that now many of you who have convinced yourselves he was being malicious are using that line of thinking to throw anything else he says out of the window, such as the effectiveness of wearing a mask.

The “but he lied then so he is definitely lying now” crowd are taking a misinformed approach.

One would think if Fauci bold face lied to the public, he would have been removed by now.

It would be malpractice of all malpractices. Criminal, maybe. Akin to a physician knowing good and well someone was HIV positive, yet told them they were negative and should be having as much unprotected sex as possible.

There’s always some malicious intent with these goddamn people. Never can it just be that a mistake was made (Which is bad enough in its own right)

So? Trump doesn't speak for me. Bringing him into this conversation is deflection.

It wasn't just Fauci. Which tells me this was a coordinated effort in the administration.

CNN

quote:

The United States' top doctor has one simple request: Stop buying face masks.
US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams' message, posted to Twitter on Saturday, was a response to face mask shortages as people stocked up due to coronavirus concerns.
"Seriously people," he began, and though it's a tweet, you can almost hear the exasperation in his plea. "STOP BUYING MASKS!"


quote:

"They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can't get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!" he continued.


Again, you are claiming incompetence, which is worse in my opinion. Nefarious motives can be explained away. Incompetence endures.

I'm more focused on how it spreads to other people. And from what I've read, it's more likely through breathing in droplets than from surfaces. But you're right, both matter...don't stop washing your hands!
