Then something magical happened where paper masks could now stop the spread of a virus that is nearly 100 microns smaller than the filtration capacity of the masks. In the paper he wrote, it was stated that the biggest danger from masks comes from the virus being aerosolized by the mask. The droplets do not pass on the infection through the skin, but the vapor inhaled into the lungs or introduced to the eyes does. That is why over 70% of all covid cases occur to people who always wear masks and are always with people who wear them. Those people prove Fauci's research is accurate.

The reason the flu numbers are down is because of the decisions made by the CDC on how to interpret test results. The most common form of testing that we've used since the onset, can not differentiate between Covid, Flu, or the common cold. It only proves that you have one of a few various types of coronavirus or other viruses, but not necessarily covid. The CDC determined that all positive tests would be treated as a positive for covid. They announced in early August that this form of testing would be outlawed by Dec 31, 2021. The CDC is requiring a new test that can differentiate between covid and the other viruses by that date. That is the reason no one got the flu because all positive tests were registered as covid. Have you ever wondered how some folks test positive while not having any covid symptoms, or they say it felt like a cold? Well, it might have been a cold, or one of the other viruses that could cause the test to show positive.

We might as well all wear tinfoil hats along with the masks, as they are about as scientifically beneficial to stopping the spread as the masks are.
