> Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory produces a good deal but hardly brings us closer to the secret of the Old One. I am at all events convinced that He does not play dice.
Scientists get things wrong. I'm more concerned about someone who won't change their position when better information becomes available.
Either way the quote is important to inform people who may not be aware, that a Fauci quote is not necessarily the end all be all factual information the media would have you believe it is.
Yes. We have significantly more information on the utility of cloth and surgical masking than we did in March of 2020.
Perhaps the real answer is a little bit of both things can be true? That is, if you don’t consider Fauci an infallible deity?
Healthcare workers are trained not to "keep fiddling with the mask"; that aspect of Fauci's quote seems to indicate some of the concern was not the theoretical mechanics of masking, but the more practical aspects of having the untrained public doing it.
The Fauci quote was definitely a veil to hide the truth. But it's only a thin veil.
>we now have a lot more information on this.
Even little kids have enough information to know that blocking your mouth when sneezing or coughing stops germs. Don't blame it on discoveries or inventions. It's not new information, it's just the full house that wipes your account.
