The mask debacle has interesting angles on why it happened: https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/noble-lies-covid-fauci-... My take is that they fucked up but in an understandable way (rather than some evil conspiracy). I remain convinced that Trump was against masks because it would mess up his bronzer and ruin the illusion it's intended to convey. | ||

The 6 foot distancing suggestions came in March. Recommendations for face coverings for the general public were recommended by the CDC on April 2, a few days after Trump suggested scarves. Claims that there was a 12 month gap between the distancing guidelines and recommendations for N95 or other masks is ludicrous. And if we're going to talk about Fauci's noble lies in the interests of public health, we ought to say something about the loon with a dead worm in his brain who sincerely believes, promotes, and enforces all sorts of nonsense that is going to result in a lot of illness and death. | ||
