Was that before or after Covid-19 entered the country?
When Covid-19 was an outbreak in China, I was not worried. I recognized its pandemic potential immediately, but it was confined to China. It simply was not a risk at the time. Even when a case appeared in the US in late January, I still did not see much to worry about; plenty of exotic diseases have been introduced to the US and were stopped by our healthcare system. Only when it started spreading in the US did it become a true threat.
I'm certain that Fauci was looking at the same dynamics that I was, and changing his assessment of the situation as it changed.
I, too, told my family that there was nothing to worry about early on. But I also was watching the situation and changing what I told them as time went by and the situation changed.
I worked in pandemic response for a portion of my career, and the habit of watching for emerging diseases never left me.
I’ve never worn a mask. Been to restaurants bars & pool parties. Nobody’s sick. Nobody’s dead.
Listen to Rush every day.
Washington Compost worse than used toilet paper.
So the new schoolyard narrative by the Washingtom Post is our news competitor made everyone sick and dead while we tried to keep you alive.
“Those who relied on mainstream sources - ... ‘fake news’ - got an accurate assessment of the pandemic’s risks.”
To this day, nobody knows what “accurate” is when it comes to WuFlu; it’s mostly still a mystery. Feckless Fauci is a prime example, as his assessments changed weekly. HE did more for disinformation than any media outlet did.
Fox are the only cable network with the facts and the data.
You want fake news, watch CNN MSDBC.
There has been some actual data on the benefits of mask use, specifically for reducing Covid-19 transmission. One article was published in the CDC's MMWR; another in The Lancet; another was an economic think tank analysis. I can provide the links later, if you want. I am seeing more and more articles indexed in PubMed that recommend mask use, and the CDC has a guide on proper mask use.
I think it is the recent spate of articles in the medical literature that is behind the relatively recent requirements to wear masks in public.
Except Tucker Carlson never said that.
The response of the Left during this “pandemic” has been extraordinarily agenda driven. We knew fairly early on who was most at risk of the very worst consequences of the china virus which of course is death.
All we needed to do was warn those most at risk (60 yr olds and up and those with health issues) to self isolate and why they should do so. The rest of us should have been left alone and there was no way the economies of the entire world should have been distupted.
Anyone doubting this was not done intentionally has not been paying attention.
Opinion? But using data? okie dokie.
Must be a real slow day when the Compost reports on a Compost report...
CNBC lied for 2-1/2 years that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. What damage did they do to our Democratic Republic?
Left wing media still perpetuating the big lie.
Tucker Carlson was very demoralizing What lifted my morale, a little, was the hysterical attacks on the President. The attacks upon the President by the lib/commie media are just a wee bit too hysterical.
Would you like to hear my opinion of you? No? I didn't think so ...
Now that’s a face you want to see on a milk carton!
The data is in: The New Tork TIMES and its Walter Duranty kept millions from taking Stalin’s genocide starving of Ukranians seriously.
I take advice from Fu News almost as much as I take it from the WP-NYT.
