Yep. Totally okay for ordinary people to think CDC/WHO got this right. They normally do! But if you needed to separate the good science journalist from the one that parrots official advice without analytic thinking/deep digging themselves... Litmus moment!https://twitter.com/enscand/status/1246143381526302721 …

Don't focus on any one person! This was practically the entire ecology in March with authorities telling us masks were a risk and unnecessary—instead of the truth: shortage—and "experts"/media parroting them uncritically instead of looking at actual research or Asian expertise.

Of course! I wrote this, too, when people said "what about the shortages"? First, ramp up production then! Second, cloth masks are good for now. Third, each intubation requires tons of PPE! Every reduced case prevents deaths *and* helps the shortage. https://twitter.com/DinoStraciatela/status/1272520255659823107 …?

Once again, Dr. Fauci says that they did not advise masks earlier because "there was a paucity of equipment that our healthcare workers required." But we were told masks were unnecessary, even harmful. They forgot "a pandemic is a communication emergency".https://twitter.com/i/status/1275522333428645890 …

I don't live in the same universe as this CNN correspondent. Dr. Fauci admits they didn't recommend masks before—and even said they may harm, don't work—because of the shortage, and that's sign of a "best communicator? No, no, that's how you lose trust. https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1275491561405546498 …

Could some *actual* reporters dig into that, and also this?https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1275792716941549568 …

This just makes me furious. And it’s exacerbated by a president who flouts every rule and will not lead.

seriously, telling commonly known things to people only to be dismissed because some idiots got somehow to lead

There is a image doing the rounds on local facebook groups saying wearing masks reduces your immune system due to rebreathing of CO2. I'm at a loss

That would be another baseless conspiracy theory. If you have SARS-COV2 or COVID19, you can't catch more of it, especially from yourself.
