Coronavirus expert says Americans will be wearing masks for ‘several years’
Fox News ^ | 7/6/20 | Shawn M. Carter

Health experts won’t ask Americans to take off their masks any time soon.

That’s the take of Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He has been preparing for an outbreak like the novel coronavirus as part of his work for years.

“I think that mask wearing and some degree of social distancing, we will be living with — hopefully living with happily — for several years,” he said. “It's actually pretty straightforward. If we cover our faces, and both you and anyone you're interacting with are wearing a mask, the risk of transmission goes way down.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top official handling the U.S. COVID-19 response, said recently he was cautiously optimistic that there could be a vaccine for the virus by 2021.

For those who refuse to wear a mask in the interim, Toner said they’ll eventually wise up.

“They will get over it," he says. "It's just a question of how many people get sick and die before they get over it."

What’s weird is he has not one but TWO copies of “Saddam’s Bombmaker”, one with dust jacket one without.

Also has “What Happened” but I’m not sure if that is Hillary’s or an unrelated book by the same name since it doesn’t look like her cover IIRC.

Facial hair also makes all masks meaningless. I’m surprised the Maskerade leaders haven’t gone all Alexander the Great yet...

“unless he knows about even worse pandemics coming here soon.”

In which case, it would be another PLANdemic, like COVID-19.

Who pulls the strings of Johns Hopkins?

I pretty much refuse to wear one now. Why would I wear one for years to come?

I was told by a legit public health expert that the Maryland Governor is listening way too much to Johns Hopkins fear mongers like this guy.

Because Johns Hopkins is located in Maryland, the Governor feels he has to march lockstep to their drumbeat.

I’m in Michigan on vacation right now and must admit that even under their idiot governess Whitmer, Michigan is far “freer” than Maryland.

My respect for Johns Hopkins has gone way down through all this. I dont know who pulls their strings but the Drs from there sure seem to have an agenda regarding this virus.

It’s all about money and power.
Lost all respect for them after reading about their attempted destruction of a young cancer researcher’s career AND blatant attempt to use her work to create a moneymaker(failed). Her “cure” is inexpensive but works, they took it and modified molecules to make it profitable...but failed.
JHU was successful in delaying use of 3BP by decades and the research needed to make it universally useful(by-products of massive cancer destruction need to be removed from the body during treatment to avoid overload of the body’s filtering systems...liver & kidney). This is the same 3BP that a doctor in Europe killed 3 folks with because he got the dosing wrong AND the dead cancer cell debri removal issue has not been totally solved.

This book has her story and many others such tales, not just of JHU.

There is a dangerous cluster in the DC area to Baltimore of the ego driven med centers, from NIH to CDC, the top military hospitals and other high ranking med centers.

Too many of the doctors in these areas become masters of the PR game to gather the big $’s from the government and health care industry. Their personal agendas in this area often replaces the real world like the low cost treatments of Covid 19 versus expensive theoretical stuff in development or often existing only in their minds.

In spite of the above reality, the Karen's in America and their elected rectums continue to force us to wear masks.

We are 80 and have used the same original cloth masks a friend made at the beginning of this plandemic.

We live in California and not wearing a mask could become a very costly fine.

I had some left over money from a Father's day gift at Amazon, so we are buying box of 50 throwaways for about $5 including tax and free Prime delivery.

We know that if our church ever reopens, we will have to wear masks.

We need a mask when we pick up our weekly grocery orders.

I need a mask when I get my hair cut. My wife needs one for her hair appointment and one for her nail care.

We still will not wear one while driving or walking in our neighborhood.

We know that these masks will not protect us from any exposure to Corona 19.

They will protect us from the Karens and potential fines for not wearing a mask in the zillion places where a mask is and will be required in Californicator land.

Yes and that is one other area of power, knowledge, influence that I didnt realize had been so corrupted. Very sad to see and doctors who speak cant mercilessly slammed.

Oh my gosh. I should have known. I did know he had a link with the Wuhan lab and research there, along with vaccine research for the virus they invented. I think he is in race with Soros on who can be the evil Dr. No in real life.
