June 5, 2021: Give This Blogger a Fox News Show!

 

6/5/21: Fox News manages to dig up a “Stanford epidemiologist” who tells Laura Ingraham, on her totally objective program, that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s credibility is “entirely shot.” 

That means Donald J. Trump was…somehow…right about everything during the pandemic, even though we find ourselves approaching 600,000 dead. And he said, back in February 2020, that we were headed toward zero cases “soon.” 

And this virus was no worse than the flu. 

And a slug of bleach might cure it. 

Etc.

 

Ingraham was too excited to have her preconceived notions validated to press her guest. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford, assured her, “There are emails you can find in the treasure trove of emails that have been released where he acknowledged the virus has been aerosolized – well the cloth masks people have been recommending, they’re not particularly effective against aerosolized viruses.”  

Yes. Dr. Fauci said that – and a bit more (see below). 

“I really don’t understand his back and forth and his answer made absolutely no sense,” Bhattacharya adds. 

Yes. Dr. Fauci said that. Ingraham didn’t care about context. Because she’s intellectually lazy, and paid to shill the right-wing narrative. So here’s the full text of the email Dr. Fauci sent: 

Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep [sic] out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a vey (sic) low risk location. 

 

See. It does make sense. If you are infected, the masks prevent you from spreading infection to others. 

Duh. 

The typical mask bought in a drugstore might not be that good; but there are better masks you can find, which any nincompoop, even a Fox News guest from Stanford, or a Fox host, should have pointed out. 

Your mask might not protect you. It might help a little, however, and it would definitely help protect others. 

See how easy that was to explain? I should go on Fox News. I could explain the obvious to the dolts who work there.
