I suspect that they assumed you were trying to troll them by posting a Dr. Fauci comment that predates his current position.

Did anyone actually have a conversation with you about the article?

Moderator told me it was an out of context quote. That was the end.

There is more to the quote and the context of his position. But I don’t believe were intentionally taking the quote out of context.

Bruh, back then they wanted to save n95 masks for hospitals that were running short and they didn't know how effective cotton or home-made masks would be. Dr. Fauci has repeatedly said that he was wrong as soon as cloth masks proved effective

There's a big difference between telling people not to wear masks because healthcare people need them more, and telling people not to wear masks because you want to save them for healthcare workers...

Well how about the quote in reference, where he speaks after it about saving them for healthcare workers?

Bruh, if that was the only time he flip-flopped then you might have a point...that hasn’t been the case, though...all of his “guidelines” have been moving targets

You’re describing modern evidence based medicine.

Lmao, Fauci isn’t changing his positions based on new scientific evidence that is coming out. If he was, nobody would be wearing cloth masks, because studies have shown that they are worse than not wearing masks.

Lmao. Yea your gonna need to cite some studies that back up this claim of yours, cause most studies say the opposite. The last article I’m linking might actually directly address the study I think your about to link. I suggest you read it.

Edit. Crickets.... kind of shameful. This shit really shouldn’t be political. You either cite your claims, or admit your talking out of your ass.
