Lead author of Cochrane review of masks: “There is just no evidence that they (masks) make any difference” Fauci response "other studies show at an individual level.."

Works for individuals, but they don’t make any difference? How does that make ANY sense???

CNN Blindsides Anthony Fauci Live By Forcing Him To Confront The Facts On Masking - YouTube

Transcript of the one minute 45 second clip.

Former director of the National Institute of allergy and infectious diseases Anthony Fauci walked back his previous claims on masking finally admitting that the mass masking that took place during the covid-19 pandemic made no difference

Brett Stevens in the times talked about Cochrane put that on the screen the most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illness including covid-19 was published last month.

Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson the Oxford epidemiologist who is the lead author were unambiguous. “There is just no evidence that they (masks) make any difference he told the journalist Mayan Damasi, full stop.”

But wait hold on what about the n95 masks as opposed to the lower quality surgical or cloth masks?

“Makes no difference none of it” he said.

Well what about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates?

“They were convinced by non-randomized studies flawed observational stu”dies.

How do we get beyond that finding of that particular review?

Queue the poisoned dwarf, Fauci. “Yeah but there are other studies Michael, that show at an individual level for individual when you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole the data are less strong.”

However despite admitting such, he pushed for people to mask as new recommendations are being put out by federal agencies.

it's odd to see Fauci seemingly admit that masking has done nothing to protect America as a whole but still pushed that it would protect an individual.

it seems so obviously contradictory that it would be expected that someone as accomplished as him would catch it but somehow the illogical statement slipped.

Onwards!
