You at least have to give me credit for questioning vs following blindly. Right?

Do you mean Fauci when you say our resident Chief of Medicine? If so, IMHO, he's a political hack. The man will say whatever he's told to say. Why do I say that, you ask. Because he has repeated instances of changing his opinion every time the wind changes direction. No need for masks one day, and the next day only double masking will keep you safe. C'mon! The "science" he was referencing simply doesn't change overnight like that. The benefit/lack of benefit of masking is known. For example, influenza kills thousands of otherwise healthy American adults AND children every year. Why do you suppose we have never been ordered to mask up to avoid contracting influenza? I don't quite get that one. I don't have an answer but I sure question why, if masks work to keep me safe from killer viruses, why have masks never before been recommended? And I'm angry bc my friend's otherwise healthy 16 year-old daughter, dead from influenza, might still be alive if the Faucis had recommended masking to prevent contracting. Too many dangling chads for me to have a comfortable opinion on whether to vaccinate or not.

Certainly not Fauci. TOTV.
