its not hindsight. its common sense that an abundance of caution would have made sense.

the way I look at, as a deeply stupid person as you have indicated, is that masking had almost no downside at all so with a novel virus whose transmission was not understood then the leader of infectious disease should have used more caution and advocated masks.

OK, your opinion, for what it is worth (zero) is noted.

It looks like you then agree that:

1) masks actually do work
2) Fauci didn't lie, he just wasn't cautious enough.

Fair enough. I don't agree with 2, but I understand why one might think that. At least you got 1 right.


no he def lied. he knew they worked or there was a good chance they worked on some level. then he did politics. hes the head of the agency not bc of his medical or public health ability, but rather bc of his politics. he did politics.

I am quite sorry to burst your bubble on your liberal hero who caused a ton of death during Covid and during the AIDS crisis but whaddyagonnado. for some of us facts matter.


by Victor

no he def lied.

As demonstrated above, no. There was a reason for what he said. You merely argued he wasn't cautious enough.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I don't give two craps about Fauci. He's not my hero. He's just doing his job. And you aren't bursting any bubbles by just stating your opinion that he wasn't cautious enough and then asserting he lied with no evidence. Maybe it's your bubble that needs bursting here because no one is impressed with that.

You talking about Trump now?

Certainly not you, as I've shown.

Incidentally, I'm done with this conversation. Have fun.


by Brian James

I remember when Fauci was recommending people wear 3 masks. ****ing idiot.

Why do you tell such obvious lies?

itt thread I learned that as long as I have a good reason, its not lying! the liberal mind is indeed amazing.

sorry to browser but I was real nice to this dude and he insulted me in every single post. so he gets the liberal lol.

Another example of you not understanding the conversation.

And I'm not a liberal.

I'm most interested in whether he tries to pass off Fauci saying that double-masking is more effective than a single mask as "recommending wearing three masks" or if he just runs away for awhile and then comes back and pretends nothing happened.

I'm guessing the latter.


by Trolly McTrollson

Yeah, sorry it was 2 masks not three. I misremembered.

fascist? Im not sure tbh. I think liberal still but maybe you do yearn for the boot more openly than the standard Biden supporter.


by Brian James

It would be comical if it wasn't so sad. Literally from the second sentence in the source you provided:

"The recommendation is not that you have to wear (two masks)," Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie on Thursday.

And just for good measure, from the second source you provided:

"Although the Centers for Disease Control has not recommended double masking..."

So, do you have a source for Fauci recommending wearing more than one mask? Because...those ain't it.

I'm a leftist, not a liberal. Definitely not a fascist. As far as you can get from that.

Glad I didn't bet. Turns out it was the first. The double/triple thing is marginally forgivable as hyperbole, but he didn't do anything like recommend it. He just explained why he and others were doing it when asked. And the answer is simple. It's more effective.

Not rocket science. For most of us.


Dr. Fauci: Double-masking makes ‘common sense’ and is likely more effective

From the 2nd link. Sounds like he is recommending it to me.

I'm not sure who you should blame your illiteracy on, but probably someone. Yourself is a good place to start. Literally BOTH of your sources explicitly said it's not being recommended.

American leftist right? so like, Liz Warren is a bit too far left?

Well, if you go on TV and say wearing 2 masks makes common sense and is more effective, then demonstrate how to wear 2 masks I would call that recommending them.

I mean ffs. Do you enjoy being deliberately obtuse or what?

Oh I realize that you are desperate to not admit you were wrong. That's fine.

But we can approach it like this. Here are some simple yes/no questions.

Did Fauci explicitly recommend wearing multiple masks?
Did Fauci explictly say he is NOT recommending wearing multiple masks (as in go out of his way to make sure it was understood that he was not recommending it)?
Given the answers to the first two questions, should you be upset (unprompted and out of nowhere) YEARS LATER over Fauci recommending wearing three masks?

I mean ffs.



LOL

So, idiot Fauci goes on TV to state unequivocally that 2 masks are better than one and to demonstrate how to put them on and wear them. Then he says he's not recommending them. No wonder people have trouble believing a word that comes out of his mouth.

What a ****ing idiot.

You. Sure. Are.

my god I love watching the desperate flailing in response to the cognitive dissonance.

sorry bobo, despite brian being a clown, what he said did actually happen

you guys are so swift to dismiss that nutjob that you're forgetting that broken clocks are still correct twice a day

The nation's top medical adviser suggested recently that wearing two masks is better than one.

"So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective," Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday on NBC's "Today" show. "That's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95."

Um, hello? You realize he didn't say Fauci said it was better. He said Fauci recommended it. Fauci explicitly said he is not recommending it. Do you see the difference or was this just satire and I missed it?

Right. Fauci said two was better than one but didn't officially recommend it, just as Brian said in his most recent post (after his posts saying Fauci recommended three, then that Fauci recommended two). No disagreement there.

But really, I was mostly having a little fun with this most recent post.
