“The CDC does not mandate anything,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci. But if a Covid surge leads to a recommendation that people wear masks, “I hope they would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and to their families. We are not talking about forcing anybody to do anything.”

      “COVID would be gone by now, if not for the pesky masks!!”

      Such a strange hot take, is the COVID coming in the masks?

        Maybe they’re thinking of culling the population more? Like had we not worn masks and taken other precautions, those getting sick now would already be dead?

        Maybe the take is that without masks, everyone would have had covid already and immunized themselves to it? Given how fast covid seems to evolve I don’t think this interpretation is true, but at least it’s coherent

      Help me understand.

      COVID is still around because of masks? Break that line of thinking down for me.

        Sounds like they’re saying that they wish nobody were unironically saying “masks are for pussies,” but the fact that there are such people is why the virus is still around. Everyone just completely misread it.
