I don't believe for a minute that masks work. Up before mid-April, the U.S. Surgeon General and every doctor under the sun was saying to the public to quit buying masks, it's depleting supplies for medical facilities and they don't work outside of medical facilities anyway. Then suddenly the Surgeon General got taken to the woodshed, had his job and license threatened, and suddenly he's Mr. Mask, wear them everywhere including your car, there's nothing better. They act like wearing a home-made mask from a t-shirt is like walking around with a HEPA filter over your pie-hole. It's so stupid and clearly political. I have a neighbor who served in the Air Force for 20 years as a Flight Surgeon, he's the guy I trust. Everybody in the medical profession knows this is a crock but won't say anything. Getting fired isn't the half of it, people are threatened with getting their licenses revoked so they can never work in that field again. Talk to a medical professional over a beer and they'll tell you what's really going on.
Here's what it looks like when medical professionals are genuinely concerned about disease, they don't wear paper masks that are only designed for a sterile operating room:

Redfield was not saying that
He says they reduce severity and deaths from disease. Redfield can make fine distinctions as evidenced by his position.
