This one is from September 2, 2023. It is another case study on Fauci's method of prevarication. After devastating study citations from the interviewer showing that masks don't work, Fauci responded: "but masks work on an individual level". This is nonsense. Here's why. To do science on masks, you... have a masked group and an unmasked group. You compare the rate of infection in each group. This is called a randomized trial. This is how science is done. If the rate of infection is the same, then masks don't work. This was what the studies on masks showed. No difference. Now, there is simply no such thing as scientific studies showing that "masks work at the individual level". Fauci either didn't understand how science works or he was lying and making things up. It really is that simple. Fauci said gobbledygook in order to keep the idea of masks alive. He did it throughout the pandemic, but especially with masks. It's incredibly shameful for Fauci to abuse science in this way. But it's par for the course in the way he communicated science throughout the entire pandemic. Sad.show more

A case study from 2025 on Fauci's chosen method of prevarication. Scene: A appearance by Anthony Fauci at the New Orleans book festival, where he explains why "masks worked". In this clip, he starts by declaring: "masks worked". Applause follows. We should ask how applause is appropriate. Whether masks work is a scientific problem. It is not a moral or political position. Should a scientist be applauded for giving his or her scientific opinion? If they are, then it's not being treated as a scientific opinion anymore. The applause shows just how ideological the whole discussion on masking became--and remains. But what follows is remarkable. The interviewer pushes back and questions whether masks really worked, whether scientific evidence really supports that position. Fauci yields and pivots: "there's the rub, Walter, a proper mask, an N95 or KN95." In other words, the implication is that the cloth and surgical masks that he recommended during the pandemic didn't work, but N95s do. Which somehow still allows Fauci to say, "masks worked". Isn't this remarkable? Fauci started with "masks worked", i.e. the masks that were widely recommended and worn. And for this he was applauded. But now, without conceding the mistake of surgical and cloth recommendations, he maintains that "masks worked" but only "N95s or KN95s". It gets richer. Then Fauci digs in deeper: N95s and KN95s work, yes. But, but, but! Only if the N95 and KN95 is "properly worn, all the time". That is, the mask has to be properly fitted (and that requires professional assistance) with a proper seal, and worn all the time. Ergo, "masks worked". We've gone from cloth and surgical mask recommendations to properly fitted N95 and KN95 masks worn all the time. This is why "masks worked". Then Fauci digs in even deeper: but you cannot take the mask off to eat! People complain that they took the mask off to eat and got COVID. You can't do normal things and say masks don't work! The only way masks work if you live entirely abnormal lives. Therefore, according to Fauci, "masks worked". Here's the thing: Fauci has just enumerated all of the arguments against masks working in the real world, all the while affirming that "masks worked". He gets his cake and eats it too: On the one hand, clinical studies show that not only do surgical and cloth masks not work for respiratory pathogens in a variety of environments, N95s haven't been shown to work to reduce the risk of infection by a respiratory pathogen when worn over the course of the day in normal working conditions either. (This is probably, as other studies show, because the seal breaks within just a few hours--something Fauci alludes to--and because people take the mask off.) On the other hand, if you mask harder, if you do it absolutely perfectly, then they DO work. Ergo, "masks worked". Does anyone else see how twisted this logic is? I mean, masks don't work under most or all real-world conditions. BUT, they do in theory. Therefore "masks worked", and therefore (by implication) surgical and cloth mask mandates were not pseudoscientific or a mistake. And for that performance Anthony Fauci is applauded and lionized, and he goes on and on. And nobody in the tribe pushes back on the ridiculousness of it. They just turn off their brains. And clap. It boggles the mind.

NEW: Joy Behar FUMES at the thought that Trump would say anything bad about masks or Dr. Fauci. “He attacked Dr. Fauci, who was really trying to help everybody.” “He pushed deworming medication for horses on us.” “During COVID, he said, no masks. You don’t need masks. That was also BS.” Joy is forgetting that the Cochrane review on masks, published in January 2023, concluded that masks have minimal to NO impact on transmission. And Trump never pushed ivermectin. But now that we’re on the subject, it is one of the safest HUMAN medicines in existence, its discovery won the Nobel Prize in 2015, and it is credited for bringing river blindness to the brink of extinction.

In 2023, CNN asks Fauci why the highest quality scientific evidence consistently shows that masks do not work? "The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous. There is just no evidence that masks make any difference. Full stop." Fauci responds, "Yeah, but there are other studies."

In a 2023 interview, Fauci blames science for "misleading" him about masks, claiming he should have acted on "instinct" and promoted them anyway. This is confusing. Is he saying the science did not support masking, and he should have ignored the science from the beginning?

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggests we ignore the Cochrane masks study, even though it found masks made "little to no difference" in preventing COVID-19 in a meta-analysis of 78 randomized controlled trials featuring over 600,000 participants because "there are a number of studies that show that masks work." It's worth noting that Cochrane reviews are widely regarded as the highest quality scientific evidence available. Why would Fauci suggest that we ignore the Cochrane masks study?

In August 2021, Osterholm sent a group text (explicitly to avoid FOIA issues) about how cloth masks don't work to Fauci, Walensky, and others. Here's the question to Psaki about Osterholm's prior comments that prompted this text. It was related to a DeSantis EO banning mask mandates for school children. Psaki is arguing for cloth masks on school children, claiming it's backed by science from experts in the federal government.

Whoa. Rand Paul essentially called Fauci a lying two-faced snake on Fox News. "What he says in private is largely true. What he says in public is largely a lie." For example: • Fauci tells his colleagues that masks don't work, but he wears three masks in public. • In a private email, Fauci says the virus looks manipulated, but he denies gain-of-function research to this day. • The same goes for natural immunity and the vaccines. Has Fauci proven himself to be a pathological liar?

NEW: CNN blindsides Fauci on live air with a study saying masks don’t work. You know it’s getting bad when even CNN is calling him out. After getting called out, Fauci gave a long-winded answer by saying there were “other studies.” But what did 2020 Fauci have to say about masks? “There's no reason to be walking around with a mask when you are in the middle of an outbreak. Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.”

November 5, 2021 CDC Director Walensky said that masks reduce the risk of COVID infection by 80%. This was not supportable under any conceivable interpretation of the evidence. Yet the scientific and medical communities supported this and many other lies. They have never apologized or taken responsibility. Today they claim science is "under attack". But how can the scientific community tell the public to "believe in science", when the scientific community has itself shown that it does not believe in science?

CNN on Oxford Epidemiologist, Tom Jefferson, on the efficacy of masks: “There is no evidence that they [masks] make any difference.” The masks were never about safety, it was about psychologically manipulating the public to believe they were in grave danger. Masks mandates were a tool to introduce a tangible and visible reminder to the public that mass mail-in voting was necessary, so they could pull of their steal in 2020. Masks were a government psyop.

🚨Please SHARE WIDELY! Masks are back despite our public health officials admitting they do nothing to stop #COVID19. We need to start asking WHY? Why the obsession with masking? What is the point now? The psychological power of forcing face masks on subjects is well understood. It is a first step in the process to dehumanize the subject and ultimately alienate him from his fellow man and himself. In a global psyop as complex as the Covid pandemic is, it is absolutely necessary that the masks be in place in order for the next order programming to take place, which we all experienced as social distancing, lockdowns, economic destruction by closing small businesses and childhood trauma induced by closed schools and isolation for years on end. Masks are the first step in a long and calculated process to transform society into a lifeless, soulless dystopian hell. Masks are NOT harmless. Masks ARE dehumanizing. This IS sinister. Open your EYES! Say NO to masks! #StopMaskMadness #NeverAgain #TakeBackYourPower

Dr. Fauci, at the beginning of COVID, explaining why masks do not work He said, "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask when you're in the middle of an outbreak. "Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. "Often, there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask, and they keep touching their face. But when you think of masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people who are ill."

A reporter just asked President Trump if Anthony Fauci should face “repercussions” for invoking the Fifth Amendment during his hearing, and he said he “watched the whole thing.” REPORTER: “Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times today…” “Do you think Dr. Fauci should face repercussions for this?” TRUMP: “Well, I watched the whole thing today, but more importantly, I was a part of the whole Fauci… I inherited Fauci.” “He was here from the 1980s, so I had him for a period of time, and I disagreed with him on a lot.” “I would have had to close down the whole country if I listened to him.” “I went the federalist way, which is basically to let the governors decide.” “Generally speaking, the Republican governors did very well.” “The Democrat governors did not do very well.” “But Fauci wanted to have nobody wearing masks, if you remember, and then everybody had to wear five masks, as many masks as you can get.” “I mean, he made a lot of mistakes…”

Today former Surgeon General Jerome Adams is a major proponent of masking. Randomized evidence shows masks don't work. In March 2020, Dr. Adams reported this evidence faithfully. He even warned masks increase risk of COVID! The evidence did not change. Why did Dr. Adams?

**DOCTORS KNEW FROM DAY ONE** Dr. Kirk Moore, MD: "COVID was exactly like every other viral illness we’ve treated for decades." Yet the world went insane: - Locked down entire nations - Forced masks on healthy people - BANNED Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine Fauci himself published studies showing Hydroxychloroquine worked against SARS… then suddenly it “didn’t”? **Anthony Fauci didn’t follow the science.** **He buried it.** This wasn’t medicine. This was control. How many lives were sacrificed for the lie?

Trump’s CDC Director says Fauci’s wet market story was a “ruse” to bury the truth that COVID was a “pandemic CAUSED BY SCIENCE.” Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Redfield says he has “no doubt in my mind at all” that COVID came from that very lab. MCENANY: "Dr. Redfield, you have several mentions in the Fauci diaries, and one of the mentions was this. And this was June of 2021. Dr. Fauci says 'Bob Redfield is out there spouting incorrect information, saying that he feels strongly that there was a virus that leaked from a laboratory... Another example of Bob Redfield being dead wrong.' What do you say to Fauci on the origins of COVID-19?" REDFIELD: "Well, Kayleigh, I think unfortunately, Tony was dead wrong on it. The whole issue of the wet market and natural spillover was a ruse to try to turn the attention away from the laboratory." "So I have no doubt in my mind at all that the origin of this pandemic was the research that was done in that laboratory, funded by the United States, supported by U.S. scientists. So if you really want to look at it, this was a pandemic that was not caused by nature or an act of nature." "This was a pandemic that was caused by science. And I think the scientific community, Fauci, Collins and others felt they had to protect science. And so they created this ruse to make people think that it came from nature. There's no doubt that in my mind that it came from the laboratory." "Steve Quay has a very good book, called The Code Is the Witness, where he takes across the trailer genetic code of the virus. And if you understand the virology, and I'm a virologist, there really is no other conclusion if you put the genome on the witness stand than to conclude that this virus was engineered in a laboratory."
