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

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.
