Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Marty Makary: ‘…cloth masks have almost no impact on transmission whatsoever, and we basically have known that the entire time’

But it was a noble lie, they’ll say!

They lied to us? Color me shocked. I did not see this coming. https://t.co/D0g9Pys6Uy

Of course they all always knew. How could they not? How dumb do you think they are? https://t.co/jW0HLCs3lc

It would have been better if Dr. Anthony Fauci and everyone else just stayed with the facts at the beginning:

Of course we knew it. When the pivot from the March 2020 don’t wear masks, they don’t work narrative changed from people like Fauci to “ we lied to save health care workers,” if that were true they would have recommended cloth masks. They didn’t because cloth masks never worked. https://t.co/Lq84dKipHp

And we’ll point out that much of this nonsense can be traced back to Trump administration officials, like then CDC Director Robert Redfield:

"…said CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield. “Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus"https://t.co/0QwmZZ0YrR
