Do you still believe the US government when it comes to COVID, vaccines, or a lot of other issues? Clearly, the mindset of “you can’t believe anything,” will get us nowhere fast. But healthy skepticism with personal research in order to question what is said while investigating matters of fact and truth is necessary. The official bureaucracy lied during the COVID pandemic without apology, without accountability, without shame. What makes you think they won’t or aren’t doing it again?
“Dr. Fauci was clearly aware that his mask decrees were contrary to overwhelming science. In July 2020, after switching course to recommend national mask mandates, Dr. Fauci told Norah O’Donnell with InStyle magazine that his earlier dismissal of mask efficacy was correct “in the context of the time in which I said it,” and that he intended to prevent a consumer run on masks that might jeopardize their availability for front-line responders. But Dr. Fauci’s emails reveal that he was giving the same advice privately. Moreover, his detailed explanations to the public and to high-level health regulators indicate he genuinely believed that ordinary masks had little to no efficacy against viral infection. In a February 5, 2020 email, for example, he advised his putative former boss, President Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Sylvia Burwell, on the futility of masking the healthy. On February 17, he invoked the same rationale in an interview with USA Today:
‘A mask is much more appropriate for someone who is infected and you’re trying to prevent them from infecting other people than it is in protecting you against infection. If you look at the masks that you buy in a drug store, the leakage around that doesn’t really do much to protect you. Now, in the United States, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask.’
During a January 28 speech to HHS regulators, he explained the fruitlessness of masking asymptomatic people.
‘The one thing historically people need to realize, that even if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has nevfe been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person. Even if there’s a rare asymptomatic person that might transmit, an epidemic is not driven by asymptomatic carriers.’
…. Furthermore, some 52 studies—all available on NIH’s website—-find that ordinary masking (using less than an N95 respirator) doesn’t reduce viral infection rates, even—-surprisingly—-in institutional settings like hospitals and surgical theaters. Moreover, some 25 additional studies attribute to masking a grim retinue of harms, including respiratory and immune system illnesses, as well as dermatological, dental, gastrointestinal, and psychological injures.”

No wonder the Biden administration refused him Secret Service protection while running for the Presidency, and why the Democrat Party colluded and sided with Mr. Biden before the primaries to block Mr. Kennedy out of the race.
