Dr. Fauci in 2008 published paper on Spanish Flu stating that "Bacterial Infections" killed MORE than the Spanish FLU did. They decided that cloth masks were a good idea back then.
"The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths," says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "In essence, the virus landed the first blow while bacteria delivered the knockout punch."
Fauci's Co-author states: Influenza fatalities," says Dr. Morens. Pathologists of the time, he adds, were nearly unanimous in the conviction that deaths were NOT CAUSED DIRECTLY by the then-unidentified influenza virus, but rather resulted from severe secondary pneumonia caused by various bacteria.
How you get a bacterial infection in your lungs? Wear a mask riddled with bacteria & viral pneumonia.t.
Dr. Fauci and Terresa Tam told everyone not to wear a mask because they do not work with respiratory viruses, then mysteriously flipped weeks later, not based on any science.
