Dr. Fauci admits masks didn’t actually do very much good

As we noted earlier today, Dr. Anthony Fauci sat down for an interview with the New York Times and denied any responsibility for the COVID lockdowns. We also covered Alyssa Farah Griffin’s attempt to back him up. That attempt to rewrite history is galling enough. However, Ian Miles Cheong found something else objectionable in that interview:

Dr. Anthony Fauci finally admits that mask mandates were a broad spectrum failure: “From a broad public health standpoint, at the population level, masks work at the margins – maybe 10%.”

Now he says it.

Now he says it after people were censored on social media for questioning his claim that masks were some kind of miracle preventative.

Dr. Fauci FINALLY admits mask mandates were a scam: “From a broad public health standpoint, at the population level, masks work at the margins – maybe 10%.”

Will all of my clients who were censored & "fact-checked" be reimbursed for lost revenue now?https://t.co/gPtfwN7M1Y

Now he says it after lip-reading deaf people had their lives ruined.

Great!!!!!!!!!

Yes, she won a court case but only after losing her job.

Now he says they didn’t work very well after Shannon Heroux was reduced to tears:

This breaks my heart.

Tonia, a Virginia mother, says her children suffered from "chronic headaches, nosebleeds, and depression" from being forced to wear masks in school.

Now he tells us.

And he knew masks weren’t important. His behavior told you that he knew:

They all knew:

No masks for Biden, Obama, Kamala, and all other attendees.

EXCLUSIVE: We've obtained photos of Governor Gavin Newsom at the Napa dinner party he's in hot water over. The photos call into question just how outdoors the dinner was. A witness who took photos tells us his group was so loud, the sliding doors had to be closed. 10pm on @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/gtOVEwa864

They all knew, but they imposed these mandates anyway. We are not saying no one benefits from masking. Some people are more vulnerable to COVID than others. But there was never proof that the benefit of a mask mandate outweighed the harms. We should have defaulted to freedom and individual choice.

Listen to these children when they are told they were no longer going to be forced to wear a mask. Listen to their joy:

Their joy is an indictment on every politician who forced them to wear masks—especially if they couldn’t live under the rules they imposed on us.

Naturally, there were some reactions:

I was almost arrested for not wearing a mask.

At least we divided the whole country for the issue. At least family and friends alienated each other. At least our children we shamed. At least it was hyper politicized.

We won’t ever forget what these people did to society. They deserve maximum contempt from the people.

That would be sarcasm set to 11.

And you still see people wearing masks. In the car. Alone.

In November 2021 CDC's Walensky said masks are 80% effective in reducing spread. These people just straight up lied to us. https://t.co/lgoZgfwX5A https://t.co/rS760M0fNn

Well, I can attest to the bonafide fact that masks are 90% effective…………at keeping you from losing your gum. Otherwise, not good for anything else. https://t.co/BsTieWzozp
