First of all 1.8 of any large amount is a ton of people. But it also depends on when those calculations were made. Were there even a ton of Covid cases? But really forget about that, all things considered, in a real world scenario, would you rather be in an enclosed space where people are masked or not? The fact that masks slow the spread is a fact, it’s not in dispute. They’re not 100% obviously but there’s been studies done for decades on them blocking most of the droplets the virus is attached to. No need for graphs and statistics on that, that’s why it’s been adopted by the whole world except for you.

Of all the things you
are, Mesabah, an epidemiologist you are not.
Just curious. Cause maybe I’m wrong. Are you an epidemiologist? Cause it seems like you think you are. Calling out other people for not being one, and such. Just curious.

So apples to apples, you're saying more people got infected with COVID in 2020 than the flu in 2018? That's the ONLY way the death totals could reach those levels.

Even with all the lockdowns and everything? Now you're dreaming.

So why did Fauci tell us not to wear masks initially?

To preserve N95s for health care workers? 99.9% of everyone is wearing cloth masks to comply with the mandates. Couldn’t Fauci have told us to wear cloth masks when this whole thing started?

How many deaths is he responsible for?

Nope. I'm just a drone pilot. But I know not to speak with authority, and I defer to the experts.

You should try it sometime.

That is NOT what happened and you know it. It’s been beaten to death. His famous words on that early march interview was BEFORE a recognized pandemic by the US. He said it not on efficacy but to stop a possible panic buy and shortage of masks for healthcare workers. As soon as it was recognized as a real event, CDC implemented mask mandates telling everyone to wear masks.

Not only are you not an epidemiologist, you’re not even a pilot!

It’s drone OPERATOR. Not pilot. You are not a pilot.

Holy sh!t! No wonder you idolize Fauci!

And you're gullible AF. No wonder you don't think masks work.

So, would you pay interest on a credit card that compounded daily with a growth rate of 1.8%?

Onion Headline: “Career Epidemiologist Fails to Recognize Impending Epidemic”

You know how many masks I’ve purchased? Zero. All have been homemade or given to me at Costco.

I don’t care what he said. What was heard by 330M Americans, including the POTUS was, “You don’t need to wear masks.”

Geeze. And this guy was put in charge of stuff.
