Fauci Insists That 'Masks Work,' But Gets Destroyed by Mega-Thread on Actual 'Science'

These aren't harmless "noble lies." They are catastrophic for American society, and particularly for children.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was right before he was wrong on the failed science that cloth masks and surgical masks "work" to significantly slow the spread of Covid-19.

Amid new questioning from "public health experts" in recent weeks that downplayed the efficacy of mask-wearing, Dr. Anthony Fauci is sticking to his argument that "masks work." Why? Apparently, because he is "the Science" and because he says so. Watch:

"Are cotton and surgical masks effective at preventing the spread of Omicron?” CNN's Dana Bash asked.

“Yeah, when the CDC says they are effective, in fact, they are," Fauci claimed.

Before dismantling this fact-free claim from President Biden's top Covid advisor, it is important to briskly go through Fauci's evolution on this matter.

It is not merely "flip-flopping." It is inconsistent and unscientific.

"In late February and early March [of 2020]..., experts like Fauci and the US Surgeon General Jerome Adams advised Americans against wearing masks," Business Insider reported.

The excuse that Fauci gave — that he lied to keep Americans from reducing the supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) for medical personnel — makes no sense in hindsight.

"I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm's way every day to take care of sick people," Fauci told O'Donnell.

"When it became clear that we could get the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don't know they're infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks," he said.

It is critical to note that he not only lied to the American people by his own admission, he also lied about the reason he gave. This came out in a subsequent interview with Norah O'Donnell in July 2020.

"I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm's way every day to take care of sick people," Fauci told O'Donnell.

"When it became clear that we could get the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don't know they're infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks," he added.

"And also, it soon became clear that we had enough protective equipment and that cloth masks and homemade masks were as good as masks that you would buy from surgical supply stores," Fauci added. "So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing."

However, cloth masks and surgical masks have different ratings for the very low levels of filtration that they have against viruses. It should be noted that OSHA admits that surgical masks are not designed to protect against airborne pathogens.

Dr. Fauci got closer to revealing the truth in an email to a Health and Human Services official in February 2020.

“Sylvia: 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,” Fauci wrote in the email.

“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," he admitted. "It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep[ing] out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location.”

Now that we know that the virus is airborne spread, as Fauci admitted, then his original assessment that he told a government official is actually the correct one.

Fauci nonetheless qualified his contradictory statements on mask-wearing by stating that it is 'symbolic' for people showing others that they 'care.'

"I want to protect myself and protect others, and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that's the kind of thing you should be doing," Fauci told CNN's Jim Sciutto in May.

Fauci said he believes that although wearing a mask is not "100% effective," it shows "respect for another person." Needless to say, this has nothing to do with "the science."

The science as demonstrated by objective facts and empirical data from the real-world is more clear-cut than Fauci's disingenuous pronouncements.

A mega-thread that reveals the actual science on masking is absolutely damning.
