Fauci stated in an email prior to all of this mainly going pandemic, and told someone outright that the drug store masks really won't help at all. They knew damn well from the get go why they were reserving the N95 masks for those on the front line.
Rand Paul has been on Fauci about this for awhile now. That and the gain of function he is weaseling himself out of with semantics.
Paul has stated for awhile now that masks were about theater, and did little to nothing to protect the wearer. It went against what the status quo are now demanding so they silenced the senator for a week. A senator. A medical doctor. Telling what is known truth. :rolleyes: How do we know it's known truth? Anthony Fauci stated every one of them!

The real reason YouTube silenced Rand Paul
There is always the risk of taking fools and liars more seriously than they deserve. But then again Google-owned YouTube deserves every shred of scorn and ridicule we can still muster in these crazy, exhausting times.
Most recently, the cat video website YouTube silenced Sen. Rand Paul — a medical doctor — for posting a video in which he stated his studied medical opinion about a vitally important medical issue. Dr. Paul stands at the very intersection of politics and medicine — precisely where the issue of masks and the effectiveness of government mandates come together.
Now, it would be easy to dismiss YouTube as some kind of crazy crank ripping down a neighbor’s political signs. After all, that is who they are and what they are doing. They are no different than the social media giants who kicked President Trump off their platforms because they disliked his political statements.
Unfortunately, YouTube has become a mega-media giant — attached to an even bigger mega-media giant — where millions of Americans have fled to get away from the so-called “mainstream media.” They left the so-called “mainstream media” over galloping disinformation — only to find themselves subjected to even more shamelessly twisted disinformation.
In his video that has since been vanished by YouTube, Dr. Paul warned against the false sense of security that cloth, store-bought masks provide people who are concerned about COVID-19. Lobbying for mask mandates, Dr. Paul warned, could be “potentially deadly misinformation.”
Given the partisan track record of social media giants such as YouTube, the decision to disappear Dr. Paul is hardly a surprise. But just for the fun of it, let’s take them seriously for a second.
Consider these statements:
“In the United States, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask.”
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.”
“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”
“If you look at the masks that you buy in a drugstore, the leakage around that doesn’t really do much to protect you.”
On their face, these all sound like pretty reasonable statements in a debate over whether we as a country should force millions of school children to mask up in order to learn how to read and do math. But in these crazy times, such statements have been deemed dangerous and anyone expressing them is immediately deprived of his first amendment rights.
Only it was not Sen. Rand Paul who uttered those statements. Every single one of them was a direct quotation from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the lionized director of the federal government’s National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Of course, Dr. Fauci no longer spouts such statements today, even though a year and a half of mask-wearing has conclusively proven that the statements are entirely true. Instead, Dr. Fauci now claims the exact opposite.

What is the size of the Covid-19 virus?
It is approximately circular with a spike on it. The overal diameter is about 0.3 microns or slightly less. That’s about 1/100th the diameter of the average human hair.
This is why the cheaper surgical style masks won’t protect you from getting Covid-19. The holes are too big. What the masks do, is stop droplets from when you cough, sneeze or even exhale from passing through and carrying a virus particle piggyback on them. The masks protect others.

Q. What's the difference between cloth masks and medical masks, such as an N95 mask?
A. The idea behind an N95 mask is it has a filtering ability down to, and actually below, the size of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. So the coronavirus is about 0.12 microns in diameter and N95 (masks) protect down to 0.1 microns, with 95% efficiency, which is where it gets its name.
We don't want the public to think that the recommendation is for medical masking. That would be detrimental to us as a society, health care providers and patients who are sick with the disease need those masks.
