Early on in the COVID pandemic, the CDC told the public that masks weren't important for stopping the spread, when they knew this to be false.
This is why. It's not true. This is not what they said. At all. They said what I outlined above.
What you said here is what has been distorted by conservative media in the smear campaign against Fauci. A man we owe a great debt too and yet he continues to get threats and hate because of the absolute distortion of what he was saying and doing during the pandemic. All in an effort to shift the blame for how bad things got away from the great orange dipshit who bungled every aspect of our response to the disease when it hit the world.
