@CDCgov

Of all of the misinformation the devastatingly incompetent @CDCgov has posted, this might be the worst. Unsurprisingly reprehensible behavior.

Beyond everything else, they associated statewide mandates with County level data, which makes zero sense.

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

For example, in California, counties like Los Angeles had mask mandates starting in early April. But in this horrific “study” they wouldn’t start their “reference” period until the middle of June, with the statewide mandate.

It’s just flat out dishonest.

The time periods they used are just…unbelievable. For masks, they say cases and deaths slowed within 20 days, for restaurants they used 41-100 days for cases and 61-100 days for deaths. Why? Because they’re trying to sell an agenda, not tell the truth.

I want to apologize. I’ve been saying masks don’t work, but I was informed by a number of blue checks today that they work.

Got it? They just do, ok? It doesn’t matter if cases skyrocket w/mask usage. That just means they were working, but in mysterious ways.

So my apologies.

It literally does not matter what the data shows, because they work. You know it, I know it. They just work. Someone from the CDC decided they work a year ago based on nothing, and now they just work. They don’t have to prove it with data, or actually useful studies. They work.

How could they be working when all of these areas saw gigantic increases even after masks were put into place?

Doesn’t matter. Here’s a link to a compilation of useless lab studies from UCSF or Nature

When the Governor of Nevada mandated masks, he said that “infection disease scientists & experts advise that masks indisputably protect individuals against airborne transmission of respiratory diseases".

5+ months later Nevada had the highest hospitalization rate in the country

His experts also said “universal masking at 80% adoption flattens the curve significantly more than maintaining a strict lockdown”

Here’s compliance in Nevada from October-February w/the 80% target

For most of December, Nevada had the highest hospitalization rate in the country

Here we have a politician saying masks are “indisputably” proven to work. He set out a specific target of 80% compliance for it to be more effective than ANY OTHER INTERVENTION. That target was easily exceeded.

It did not work. Because masks do not work.

There are four counties in four states that share similar climates in the desert Southwest. Clark, NV, San Bernardino, CA, Mohave, AZ, Washington, UT.

They all had different mask requirements at different times with different compliance

Didn’t really seem to matter, did it?

San Bernardino mandated masks very early on, reinforced with a statewide mask mandate in June, strict business closures, curfews, etc. They’ve done the worst, naturally.

Mohave has had individual cities mandate masks and then removed the mandate. Didn’t matter.

Washington, UT had a large anti-mask protest, and has followed the same curves as the rest, but done significantly better than San Bernardino.

Hey guys remember when the CDC recommended masks as source control to stop Covid, they completely and utterly failed, and instead of admitting it, the CDC said they provide protection for the wearer too and then after they failed some more, said two masks are better?

Remember what a big joke that all was for society that we had to deal with a devastatingly incompetent organization whose pseudoscientific misinformation caused even more incompetent local health officials to mandate masks for kids playing football?

https://twitter.com/jonjkerr/status/1365474467988783110

Masks have been one of the least successful policy decisions in the history of the United States and our most influential “experts” have refused to admit it because it gives them and politicians a way to blame the public for their own failures.

It’s important to point out, that among many other things, Fauci has repeatedly lied about his stance on masks

He claimed he said masks didn’t work on 3/8 to protect supply for healthcare workers, but also said to “skip” them weeks earlier while saying Covid risk was “minuscule”

If the risk was “minuscule”, why would he say to skip masks to protect supply for healthcare workers? They’d also not have to worry about Covid, considering the “minuscule” risk.

The real answer is that Fauci, accurately, knew that there was no evidence masks work

Once it became politically expedient to change his mind, he did, to go along with the CDC’s evidence-free recommendation. There was never going to be a supply issue of masks that healthcare workers would actually use, based on the CDC recommending cloth masks or bandanas.
