Disease Expert Tells CNN: Most Masks Don't Really Work Against Wuhan Coronavirus

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiep...virus-n2593473


Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new Wuhan coronavirus guidance urging Americans to wear masks indoors regardless of their vaccination status.
"To maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission," the CDC released on their website Tuesday. "Wearing a mask is most important if you have a weakened immune system or if, because of your age or an underlying medical condition, you are at increased risk for severe disease, or if someone in your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated. If this applies to you or your household, you might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission in your area."
The guidance was a reversal from May when the CDC said vaccinated individuals no longer needed to wear a mask.
During a segment on CNN Monday afternoon, University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Director Michael Osterholm said cloth or paper masks don't work to stop the spread of the disease.
This, of course, has been well known for over a year. Dr. Anthony Fauci told former Obama Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell that store-purchased masks do little to stop the spread of the disease.

"The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend you wear a mask," Fauci wrote in an email on February 5, 2020.



Comment - masks are not about disease control and public health to maoist DPST;s - they are a marker of obedience to their narrative
and how to separate the concentration camp candidates from the loyal marxist minion idiots.

Do you guys think the virus is harmless? You spend so much time trying to blast those who take precaution.

It's just people telling me what to do that is annoying.

I don't mind wearing masks and businesses deciding to require them, but the rumors of nationwide mandates is what pisses me off, and businesses should have the right to not require them.

Also the mask hokey pokey is pretty annoying. First, you put your mask on. Then, you take your mask off. You do the hokey pokey and you spin yourself around.

Reasonable.
But the mask thing is simply pivoting to best try and deal with fluid changes in the variants. I had mine off, but now wear it of my own volition, in certain situations.

No Conservative is telling you what to do.
It is you and your DPST radicals who insist on mandatory government control of everything- and stripping freedoms daily from Americans.



And yes - to most folks - the Wuhan virus is just an Influenza A - and I do not hear you or the DPST nomenklatura all screeching about the 'Flu"!


Please take all teh DPST approved and mandatory precautions, and more - that you choose.



You will not have that right to choose long if fiden and his crime cabal have anything to say about it


Meaning - prepare to kow -tow to comrade Xi!

Fact - 'herd immunity' should have been long since reached with the combination numbers of both those who have acquired natural immunity ( had teh disease0 - and those who have not - but are vaccinated.

no facts support better immune reponse to wuhan virus from vaccinating those with natural immunity.


The DPST maoist party has simply made the virus a vehicle for control and economic destruction of America - and fools who believe their Xinn claptrap deserve to be vassals under Comrade Xi


Me - hell no - from my cold dead hands - Xi and fiden.

Yeah, the surgical masks, gaiters, and homemade cloth masks everyone are wearing are pretty much useless, especially now with this Delta variant. The surgical masks were meant for much larger bacteria, not virii. Gotta graduate to those KN95 masks, at least...and not be half-ass wearing them off your nose, mouth, or neckbeard.

Well, in all fairness, the messaging a couple of months back was "if you get the vaccine, you can't transmit the virus", and "nearly 100% effective". If you get your "marching orders" from those sources, thinking you can turn off your critical thinking skills and trust them, no wonder we have the mess we have now. It's not a "liberal" or "conservative" problem, it's a lack of critical thinking problem.

They didn't know what was coming with the Delta variant. When conditions and data change, the advice changes.

Trolling again? Harmless, no. Overblown, especially to those under 40 with no comorbidities, yes.

Also stop ordering people what to do. Stop threaten them with fines and jail time then letting riots happen around the country without punishment and pretending they were covid free events.
