Lord Fauci is infamous for noting that there was no reason for people without symptoms to wear a mask. This made sense because the research said masking healthy people was pointless. Not long after, Fauci flip-flopped, so lawyers asked him about it under oath.

Among his many public and private statements, he wrote in a Feb. 5, 2020, email that “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.”
About two months later, Fauci and other top officials reversed course and issued widespread masking recommendations, regardless of symptoms.
Asked about the change while under oath on Nov. 23, Fauci couldn’t provide any studies, according to lawyers representing plaintiffs in a case against the federal government.
“He was asked what studies or study changed his mind in that interim, which is what he claimed—he claimed that it was studied. He couldn’t name any,” Jenin Younes, one of the lawyers, told The Epoch Times.
Masks became the very public face of the COID Cult, but their application was no less of a mystery than Fauci’s flip-flop. You were safe at a table in a crowded restaurant sans mask, but if you stood up to use the restroom without it, you’d get stern looks from the COVID Karens because everyone was suddenly at risk. But it made for entertaining blog content.
On Organization day for the state legislature, several Republicans were maskless. Democrats lost their hive mind, but since none of what they peddled as safety makes sense, I wrote this:
Following the CDC guidelines matters … So, if Republicans at organization day were pictured sitting at tables talking to a waiter or waitress and each other, this would all mean nothing. Which is to say, it still means nothing.
Face coverings are no more or less of a deterrent to the spread of SARS CoV2 than tables or waitresses. These are all just affectations.
And Fauci could not name a single study under oath that informed his decision to recommend masks because no such analysis would have justified the change.
After the recommendation to mask, it became a priority to craft some research, and they did, much the way they made up a story to destroy the reputation of Hydroxychloroquine. Hit pieces were designed, after the fact, to justify another government intrusion on liberty.
An affectation that was ineffective against the stated purpose and unhealthy in the name of public health.
And Big Medicine is wondering why a growing portion of the US population no longer trusts them. They can start by refusing to put up with asshats like Anthony Fauci, but that ship may have sailed with the pleasure barge paid for by Big Pharma on which many of these medical professionals are present.
Or is, is the fear of partisan political retribution that has you mum?
In either case, you’ll need to change the institutional notion of “first, do no harm” to “first, do no harm to your career.”
