He talked about a lie so collosal that no would would believe that someone would have the impudent to distort the truth so infamously. Adolph Hitler used this strategy\u00a0 to take total control in Germany. The same tactic is being used by the liberal left today to take total control of you.<\/p>\n<p>You are being lied to each and every day. Sadly, the people who claim to be fact checkers are often the worst offenders. Following is a classic example of how factcheck.org claims to have fact checked something, produces a blatantly false and misleading headline, and then documents that the story they are mocking is absolutely accurate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2020\/05\/outdated-fauci-video-on-face-masks-shared-out-of-context\/\">https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2020\/05\/outdated-fauci-video-on-face-masks-shared-out-of-context\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The headline:<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Outdated Fauci Video on Face Masks Shared Out of Context.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article confirms what Fauci said. It was in response to question by Dr. Jon LaPook, chief medical correspondent for CBS news.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LaPook, March 8<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0There\u2019s a lot of confusion among people, and misinformation, surrounding face masks. Can you discuss that?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fauci<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0The masks are important for someone who\u2019s infected to prevent them from infecting someone else\u2026 Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LaPook<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0You\u2019re sure of it? Because people are listening really closely to this.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fauci:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u2026There\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you\u2019re 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\u2019s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences \u2014 people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LaPook:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0And can you get some schmutz, sort of staying inside there?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fauci<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Of course, of course. But, when you think masks, you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill. The people who, when you look at the films of foreign countries and you see 85% of the people wearing masks \u2014 that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s fine. I\u2019m not against it. If you want to do it, that\u2019s fine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LaPook<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0But it can lead to a shortage of masks?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fauci:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Exactly, that\u2019s the point. It could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need it<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The same article says that the CDC changed its position because of recent studies. But those studies did not actually study face masks at all. Here is what CDC said:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWe now know from\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/prevent-getting-sick\/cloth-face-cover.html#studies\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">recent studies<\/a>\u00a0that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (\u2018asymptomatic\u2019) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (\u2018pre-symptomatic\u2019) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms,\u201d the CDC said in its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/prevent-getting-sick\/cloth-face-cover.html\">announcement<\/a>. \u201cIn light of this new evidence, CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note that even here the CDC is only recommending masks in places where people cannot social distance. Now we have to wear mask at the same time we are ordered to stay at least six feet away from people. The current CDC guidelines contradict their own analysis.<\/p>\n<p>I have still seen zero evidence that this transmission is impacted at all by wearing a cloth face mask. I haven\u2019t even seen a study evaluating this. This is like noting the weather forecast for tomorrow indicates rain, so everyone should switch from wearing briefs to boxer shorts. This is not just stupid, it is insane.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that really changed was the desire of the government to do something visible <strong>that looked\u201d like they were doing \u201c<u>something<\/u>\u201d to keep us safe<\/strong>. They also wanted to take control of our lives. So they chose face masks, because they are easy to see and a lot of people will buy the non-scientific argument that face masks actually do something. In addition, they ignored something really important. <strong>Fauci said there were unintended consequences, people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He was and is spot on. People are wearing cloth masks that in some cases are obviously used over and over again. They are wearing bandannas, pretty masks, masks with slogans or my favorite, expensive masks with ventilation knobs designed to make it easier to breathe and which make the mask absolutely worthless.<\/p>\n<p>It is bad enough to be mask shamed by self-righteous people typically wearing anything other than a clean new mask. It is even harder to tolerate when you realize they motivated by deliberately misleading information and making everyone wear a mask is not only ineffective, it is not only stupid, it is actually dangerous for a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Lies always hurt someone. Lies told by government official hurt everyone. Lies, backed up by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1925 Adolph Hitler talked about the use of the big lie.
