Vaxxter reports “Dr. Fauci is No Nostradamus: How COVID-19 Ran Amok Under His Watch”
Dr. Fauci shared his foresight with medical peers at a Georgetown forum when he stated, “There will be a surprise outbreak during Trump’s first term.” Fauci’s prediction wasn’t conjured from the alignment of the stars and planets, or a passage lifted out of the Bible.

There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles. https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/masks-dont-work-covid-a-review-of-science-relevant-to-covide-19-social-policy
New England Journal of Medicine reports “widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or…
