YouTube suspends Rand Paul for "misleading claims" about masks

[Straw Man]

Didn’t Fauci himself say back in April of 2020 that masks were not effective? Then he suddenly changed his mind in May of 2020.

Pretty sure it was early March 2020...before we knew much about this at all and prior to any shutdown anywhere in the country

but you knew that already....right?

When the Internet first started taking off I was thinking that it might be a real decentralization of power but it’s actually gotten worse as these big tech companies have essentially become arms of government.

Give it time.  Nobody controls the internet.  All the big tech companies are doing is opening the door to more competition.

The CDC said in April that masks weren't effective, after the shutdowns had started. It turns out that both the CDC and Fauci did that because of their so-called concern that there'd be a mask shortage for medical professionals.

Don't try to argue with Howard.

His doctor went to the renowned Morehouse Medical School.

I think it's  a real pandemic with hospitals , being stressed to the max .
I don't think a Covid virus has anything to do with the gold standard . It's a real virus.

Thank you for your sincere, honest answer, but, I don't find it credible. Sorry.

Look at the breakdown of hospital patients.

It's not Covid.

Here in my state our hospitals typically operate up to 72% capacity for 3-4 months out of the year, for the last 8 years.

During Covid they reached 78% for 3-4 months of the last 18 months.

Covid patients make up 18% of the ICU beds. Not all have Covid, many are there for observation due to symptoms. They have to house them in ICU due to risks of contamination.

Think about that.

All evidence, whether RCTs or comparative data over the last 19 months inform us that masks are ineffective at source control, mitigation and/or protection of the user for an airborne aerosol spread respiratory virus.

It's hard to acknowledge when you've gone all in and are now going to triple down but it is what it is
