    The Great Barrington Doctrine does strike me as the best possible balance between minimizing infections and keeping the economy going.

    The Great Barrington Doctrine was smeared by the media and a few "scientists", who intepreted the GBD as saying "Let it rip!" in favor of herd immunity. That was false interpretation by the Pro-Lockdown side.

    What did not get published very broadly was Jay Bhattacharya's clarification of fact that they are not promoting doing away with mitigation efforts (including masks when social distancing is not possible), but merely saying that government lockdowns of businesses and schools will cause greater harm and more preventable deaths than zero lockdowns.

    (Bhattacharya is one of the GBD authors.)

    Always with Trump with you guys! Heh, sorry, I'm not buying that rather absurd attempt at misdirection. This thread is about the scientifically tested effectiveness of masks, not Trump, and you brought up Fauci. So yes, if you want to double down on Fauci lied and people died, I'm good with it.

    "Fauci did what he had to." Hilarious!

    ~ The Wuhan "virus" - the flu "virus". Both kill. One kills kids, adults, the frail, those with risk factors and the elderly. One does not kill children, is novel and isolated, can infect the healthy without symptoms. Both are contagious. Both are spread the same way.
    ➡ If wearing a mask would contain the outbreak we would have been doing so with the common flu and cold virus that make so many of us sick each year !

    ~ More likely Fauci did what he was told to do .

    Sure, we should have faith in "expert" Fauci, who has gone from "Masks are not necessary. The virus isn't going to jump up on you," to "Everyone who gets vaccinated should still wear a mask and social distance well into 2021." Why anyone would trust Flip-flop Fauci is beyond me.

    ~ Trump knew right away Fauci was a fool. I suppose he was just waiting to be certain.

    People believe Fauci because they have been conditioned for generations to trust authority without asking questions.

    Because speaking the truth, no matter how simple or obvious, in a time of universal deception is a radical act. I promote heresy in this time of universal deception.

    Simple answers to simple questions. Why do people believe charlatans like Fauci? Because they have been conditioned over generations to believe authoritarian charlatans. Because they have been conditioned to be credulous.

    But I do enjoy all that projection you do.

    Especially folks who are mad at big government so they think the solution is to vote for even bigger government.

    Do you know what the difference between the "control group" and the "study group"?

    "Comparing these results with the control group that was not tested and not isolated, nonparticipants actually contracted the virus at a slightly lower rate than those who were under an extreme regime.

    Conversely, extreme enforcement of NPIs plus more frequent testing and isolation was associated with a greater degree of infection."

    America created the CDC to deal with epidemics, pandemics, and other health issues.

    We badly needed a national response to such things.

    We were the first, that has become a model copied around the world. While we have gotten corrupt, countries like South Korea have used that model with spectacular results.

    The CDC is one of the major innovations of civilisation.

    Hope you're enjoying your refrigerated trailers.

    I can't. Where I live, the great northern migration is upon us. And there is no escape.
