Did the mask mandates make a difference ?
That is not me asking . That is not some conspiracy kook. That is left leaning VOX asking (There I gave you a source )
“After a year of debates over mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures, that mixed evidence might suggest a certain fatalism: Did none of these state policies really matter? Or was the virus going to spread no matter what states did? Was it all for nothing?... If you look at a list of states by their number of Covid-19 deaths per capita, it’s hard to discern much of a pattern.”
So why did I have a burr in my saddle about Dr Fauci ? Because he was the lead advocate of the draconian lock downs . It was he that convinced Trump to put the economy into an artificial recession. It was his advocacy that convinced our elected leaders that it was a good idea to surrender our rights . We couldn't visit sick family in hospitals . We were even prevented from going to church.
Feb 2020 he told us nothing to see here . "You cannot avoid having infections since you cannot shut off the country from the rest of the world,” “Do not let the fear of the unknown...distort your evaluation of the risk of the pandemic to you relative to the risks that you face every day…do not yield to unreasonable fear.”
Then he suddenly advocated draconian lockdowns . He was against people wearing masks and then suddenly changed his mind. He was a skeptic of vaccines .He now says everyone has to take them. He is a media whore .
In other words ,He is a politician and NOT the scientist he pretends to be .
