Debunked now? Lol I expect experts who claim to represent science, like Fauci did, to have some type of scientific evidence to back up their changing guidelines. I expect them to be honest with us, to not say one thing publicly then another privately.
If he believed masks worked then he should tell us. If he wanted medical professionals to have them and was concerned about supply he should have done what my governor did, tell us to donate medical grade masks and use cloth masks.
Masks did not work. We know that now. We need a to accept where we were wrong and move on
I was wrong about masks too. I was lied to and I was wrong because I believed those lies instead of fact checking
Millions of people wore dirty masks because of a shortage , how many were harmed by that?
At work I am to change my filters every 8 hours.
Those are the guidelines. Did they ever tell us to do that? Nope, they said "wear two instead"

Yup, the claim that Fauci said “masks don’t work” was grasped onto and used as political fuel for Trump’s supporters and his conspiracy-minded friends in the media.
Two questions:
Search mask effectiveness for covid - the CDC and Mayo are among the top results, both of which still recommend mask usage (including data) for reducing the contraction/transmission of covid. This directly contradicts your view. What do you make of that?
How would you have liked the mask policy to be handled in America?

Mask only if you have symptoms. High quality masks for those who need them like immune compromised
There was a conspiracy , maybe we should admit that. We got lied to and Trump was in charge.
