?Masks Are Symbolic,? say Dr Fauci and The New England Journal of Medicine
By Jim Hoft
Published May 28, 2020 at 12:13pm
In the past week, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the New England Journal of
Medicine have admitted that masks are little more than symbols. Virtue
signaling.
For those of you who shout ?science? like it?s a Tourette tick, this is
from the New England Journal of Medicine on May 21, 2020:
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little,
if any, protection from infection. 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 even 30 minutes). The
chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space
is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is
a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
So, why are we ordered to wear masks? Symbolism. From the same article in
NEJM:
It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only
tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care
workers? perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their
hospitals.

On Thu, 28 May 2020 22:10:36 +0100 Sn!pe put forth the following
notion, which was duly noted and recorded:
It's fear and herd mentality. People have been chased out of stores for
not wearing a mask, and half the women I've seen in public just draped a
scarf in front of their mouth, which does nothing. I guess that's more
"fashionable". People are dumm. This is becoming another way to instill
fear in people in an effort to keep the economy shut down. In the US, the
Libtards are scared shitless that the economy might just recover right
before the elections, making it harder to cheat Trump out of his well-
deserved second term. Biden winning against ANYBODY, is prima facie proof
of cheating IMO.

Note, please, that, contrary to your bullshit assertion, Dr. Fauci is
not on the author list, nor has he cited the article in any formal
publication. Note also, as I have pointed out several times, that masks
modify the hydrodynamics of a cough or a sneeze such that ejected snot
and such do not travel 10 meters or more in a few seconds to spatter
everything in the area.
Also note that the expression "some say" doesn't rise to any level of
scientifically useful information.

Sarcasm from the University of Podunk. He has a another
degree in Self Aggrandizement from one of those Ivy League
joints, I forget which one, and a further one in Incontrovertible
Refutation. He's an Intelleckshul Powerhouse.
Didn't you know that? I'm surprised he hasn't already told you.
