The CDC — sorry — the CDC political bureaucracy and their “medical experts” lost all credibility during the Fauci Flu debacle ... as they should have. Those “experts” and “doctors” who advised people with compromised immune systems that as long as they wore a mask and associated only with others wearing a mask they would be “protected” and “safe” from contracting, spreading or getting sick from the airborne virus are truly guilty of criminal malpractice and should be held to account.
Dr. Fauci told everybody earlier on that masks were essentially worthless.
People later on were told to wear them and to stay at least 6 feet apart. This was because the measures had a small, but not zero value.
