I think they've made value judgments about acceptable risk. I think when they lied to everyone about masks at the beginning, that shows a certain type of value judgment. I think when the democrats pretended everyone was safe and rolled the dice on that just to go against Trump they made a value judgment. Just like when Trump changed his tune and started encouraging the economy to open up again he made a value judgment.

Tdlr, I don't think the guidelines are entirely based on medicine
I don't think so either. I think the mask flip-flop at the beginning was a fuck-up, not necessarily a lie.

Fauci admitted it was a lie. There's not really anything to discuss on that...unless you think that they were basing their lie on bad data?

"I'm Dr. Fauci, and I lied about masks amongst other things."

- Dr. Fauci

^ that's a direct quote that I heard him say

Yup, saw that part in the article, wise-ass.

I actually had to listen to the video several times to get the nuance. I think you're right, he's technically admitting to knowingly misleading the public so there wasn't a run on the PPE in the early days. He really words that fantastically to avoid connecting the fact that they knew masks would help, with telling people NOT to use them.

Well there you go. Fauci is the devil, I have the recordings.

you don't get to be head of the NIH without knowing how to weasel your words.

He's not a doctor, he's a politician.

he finished his residency and went directly to working in a lab at the NIH.
within 6 years he was head of a department.

he's a PhD, but he shits all over the Hippocratic Oath.
What the fuck do hippos have to do with rona?

Rand Paul: "You're fully vaccinated, isn't the 2 masks just theater?"
Fauci: "Oh, here we go with "theater" again."

*2 weeks later*

Fauci: "I knew I didn't need to wear 2 masks, but I didn't want to send mixed messaging."
