Fauci admits masks barely work

"From a broad public-health standpoint, at the population level, masks work at the margins — maybe 10 percent. But for an individual who religiously wears a mask, a well-fitted KN95 or N95, it's not at the margin. It really does work."
For context: Few people have, or ever had, "a well-fitted N95". Your everyday crappy mask isn't one.
Also, Fauci's 10% figure may be exaggerated - recent studies put everyday crappy-mask effectiveness at stopping covid, at maybe 5%.
And widespread mask use has been tied to poor social & language development in children, rises in stillbirths or other medical problems, etc.
Still, even allowing Fauci to exaggerate the effectiveness to 10%... 10% is nothing great, and those who still believe in Holy Masks of St. Fauci (note his Freudian-slip use of "religious") may wish to reflect on it.

Yep, read a news report about a year ago, that said around a dozen different respected scientists/researchers from around the world all came to the same conclusion:
Masks made little to no difference on protecting people from the virus.
Fauci should be investigated for committing US Federal Felony Fraud and sent to jail. And so should all those who stood by him.
