No, that's false. What he said was that it gave some protection to the wearer, but better protection to people around the wearer. Which is true. Why do you think they wear masks in surgery?
That's what I said. He was asked there about wearing a mask to protect yourself. And as he says in your quote, it offers some protection. But mostly, as he said elsewhere, it's for protecting others.
You clearly overlooked the part where he said the masks they encouraged people to go out and buy at stores were ineffective in keeping out viruses. While yes, he was advising Ms. Burwell on whether or not to wear a mask for her own protection, he said in that email that masks in general were ineffective in keeping out virus infection. But of course, see it the way
you want to see it while accusing me of doing the same. I mean I linked the article which later points out that after having that discussion in email, Fauci started acting like masks were effective in keeping out the virus as did the rest of pro-Maskers in the medical community and health advisors in government. Fauci even claimed wearing two masks was common sense and I quote:
"He told
NBC News on January 25 that
wearing two masks was "common sense.""
What it isn't, is a measure of how many people are adversely affected by the vaccine. You seem to get that now, but many antivaxxers are claiming it's a list of people harmed by the vaccine, which it is not. That's the hoax we're dealing with.
I never said that's what it was. But you ignore everything else and use that as a bludgeoning tool to poison vaccine adverse event reporting as somehow untrustworthy. I can also tell you didn't even glance at the things JLB posted.
You keep saying it isn't a list of people harmed, when it is. Even if there are some false reports in there, it includes accurate reports of people harmed. You've admitted this, but you keep making this false statement that it's not what it is. For crying out loud man, people report adverse events for vaccines they took.. The site reveals it's in their objectives:
Objectives of VAERS
The primary objectives of VAERS are to:
- Detect new, unusual, or rare vaccine adverse events;
- Monitor increases in known adverse events;
- Identify potential patient risk factors for particular types of adverse events;
- Assess the safety of newly licensed vaccines;
- Determine and address possible reporting clusters (e.g., suspected localized [temporally or geographically] or product-/batch-/lot-specific adverse event reporting);
- Recognize persistent safe-use problems and administration errors;
- Provide a national safety monitoring system that extends to the entire general population for response to public health emergencies, such as a large-scale pandemic influenza vaccination program.
I can also tell you haven't looked at the data either, you seem to be just reciting news articles and such. Pulling up the data, I chose to test your argument and see how many reports of "hulks" were in there with a search in the database by just looking for the word "hulk" in the most recent 2022 database of VAERS reports. I found 1 and entry from May2022. I have to quote the portion in context because this was a long report that took up 3 pages after I pulled it out and put it in a Word Document, but here it is:
Some context, this individual claims that after 3.5 hours of their injection they started feeling heaviness crall up their body and felt heaviness weigh them down. The night went on and they had hot and cold flashes that went into the morning. The next day they had their menstrual period a week early. They go on to explain they felt extremely fatigued for the next week and after that thought they were getting better. Then started having cramps in their arm that moved across their chest and would cause breathlessness and tightness in the chest. They tried to avoid extraneous activities, hoping it would go away, but the tightness continued to move throughout their body, moving up toward their neck making them feel like something was wrong with their neck. This is where the so-called "hulk" transformation seems to be or the word is simply used which makes me think whomever you read it from, if it's this, took it out of context, and I quote, and sorry, it's still going to be a little long:
"One evening I experienced the worst migraine of my life. I have experienced many migraines before, and this was something entirely different. The pounding was so hard I was terrified that the end was upon me, and I did not even feel stable enough to get to the hospital. I asked my husband to bring children to me and silently said my goodbyes just in case. Almost three weeks in to this experience, I developed extreme pains in my chest that were also extremely exhausting, I felt like gravity was five times heavier than normal, and knew that something was deeply wrong. My ribs ached and I was in severe pain if I wore a bra. I then developed severe diarrhea and I could not eat anything at all. It?s like all of my saliva went dry and swallowing mechanism no longer knew how to work.. My arms were hulky looking, with the veins bulging out, my muscles ached, I had carpal tunnel and the thoracic outlet syndrome all acting up and making my arms go numb constantly through the night as I tried to sleep. It was disturbed and I was constantly awoken with feelings of doom and deep primal anxiety. I had a horrible burning feeling under my skin that felt like lava coursing through my veins all of the time, like the worst body aches of the worst flu ever. I was due for my next shot. 10 minutes before leaving for my appointment, I listened to the strongest feeling I've ever felt in my gut, cancel the appointment and called my doctor instead."
So, someone explaining what obviously sounds like their arms swelling is somehow them reporting transformation into the hulk?
I found report about a "lightning strike" also from a report received in the database in May 2022 and I quote:
"April 13, 2022 After a nearby lightning strike I found myself in Afib and went to the ER. I was given an IV medication to stabilize my heart rate around 05:00AM April 14th, 2022. I was admitted to the hospital on the 13th and then later the morning of April 14th I had an echo done that showed my efficiency factor was at 33%. Previous echos June 2021 showed 45% efficiency factor. I have been in touch with my doctors and have seen both PCP and cardiologists as well. For the time being I am treating this medicinally with Eliquis, spironolactone, and we will be doing a repeat echo and from there checking on efficiency factor if there is no improvement we will be discussing implantable devices."
So, contrary to how you seem to understand it, this person reported that their adverse event systems seem to start after a nearby lighting strike and that's all they were saying about the lightning strike.
I get it. Anything that's less than positive about this guy is, in your mind, a "hit piece." But it's all true. And at some point, you'll have to deal with it.
I didn't say that. I guess you don't know what a hit piece is. For someone who won't even listen to the man talk or read anything he actually said in proper context, you have the audacity to make this claim about me when I've listened to both sides. One side I've been pretty much forced to listen to over the past 2 years, and the other side I chose to listen to. You've only chose to listen to one side, obviously, and obviously chosen to villainize the other side.
Won't do him any good. They didn't lie about him. If it's true, it's not defamation.
And here again you fall back on your bias rather than be objective.
Funny how people who do that, never realize they are, um?
Yeah, funny, isn't it?
You're too invested in your own assumptions to deal with the data. We get that.
See above.
As I said, I'm moving on. You've proven to me twice now that you're not interested in an open discussion on this and will just quickly run to poisoning the well and attacking individuals who dissent against the prevailing thought on the subject, which has changed already by the way. But I'm sure that was because the science changed and all of that when the science remained the same even during the height of the COVID stuffs.
