    Fauci is to blame. The path of evil is paved in good intention.

    The fucker told everyone that they didn't need masks.

    What he was intending to do was make sure doctors and emergency personnel had masks. instead, it became an inflection point of publicly dividing the nation.

      Exactly. The surgeon general tweeted out, "STOP WEARING MASKS" and CNN was publishing articles with all the anti-masker claims, including that they don't work and could increase your risk of getting it instead, and people just pretend like it never happened and the anti-maskers came out of thin air.

      It wasn't just an idiotic ploy to deliberately spread misinfo to trick people into leaving masks for doctors, it was also about the government trying to cover their own ass for having sold off their emergency stockpiles for fast cash.
