CDC Director Says Face Masks May Offer More Protection Than COVID-19 Vaccine | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Sounds like someone is getting fired soon.
Yeah, she doesn’t speak very well. Sounds like me when I’m drunk
You mean suicided…
Trump, yes
@Jay Filteau The “experts” can’t be believed.
He will be fired by Trump or one of Trump cronies.
OBVIOUSLY TRUMP DID’NT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY OFF THE CDC.
That’s gotta be bs.
Originally the reported said masks are “infective” a few times…. She then corrected herself….. There should be no debate about masks anymore…. What a waste of time that could be better spent with real questions….
Sounded like you said masses might be more infective?
Yea sure, how about neither
Is it just me or the chick saying “infective” and not effective?
Jenn ..listen again…
@Laura Zaboraski I don’t need to. ✌
@LauraZaboraski you are absolutely right.
Qanon More Recording of Joe Biden Corruption Extortion with Ukraine Wake up https://youtu.be/bsn1Be0ua6M
@Christopher Colon YOU better wake up. Qanon is fake controlled opposition trash. Stop it.
She said masks are “infective”
So if masks are more effective than a vaccine and we are waiting on a vaccine to safely open the economy, can we now safely open the economy?
Blake Freeman What? Apparently more liberals are wearing mask than conservatives. Just look at all the Trump supporters still saying it’s a hoax and God will protect them.
Gone Right you are on point wit facts!!
Not if all you keep refusing to wear one
aGUY not if all of you keep refusing to wear one
nellymacc91 This is such a contentious race that the polls are expected to be busy. Also some places are shutting down polling places. I can choose to go to a store when it isn’t busy and lines won’t be long. The stores in my city have set aside times exclusively for seniors and people at risk. And now Trump is saying he wants marshalls etc. at polls. Some people are easily intimidated so this can be a problem. I know people originally from other countries ( they are citizens now) who still have trouble with english and would feel uncomfortable. The place I vote has no translators and it has caused lengthy delays at times. We need to have a choice. Kamala Harris proposed a bill for drive thru voting. I believe we should be allowed all three choices.
Why she flipping between “Infective” & “effective” who’s mom is this..
Stupidity.
Karensaurus Rex
Whose. I’m a mom.
No it’s not just you ! She said that the masks are infective !
@Diego De La Riva You must be one of the MASONS !!!!!!
LOL!! She said “masks might be more ‘infective’ than a vaccine”.
Lol.
She also said polizzation.
Freudian slip lol
conclusion: he understands the danger of injecting masses of people with a weakened form of weaponized virus created in a Wuhan bioweapons lab.
She might be right–but I’m not finding out either way. No mask. No vaccine.
Please, I would Love for hime to release that “research / evidence” – b/c pretty sure there is historic to the contrary (OSHA 🙌🤔🤷♂️)
This lady needs to speak betterer. She kept saying “Infective” not “effective”
The bleach in her hair got into her brain. 😂
Really that’s what you got out of tthis..
Maybe it’s your hearing turn off your hearing aid
Alexander pull your head out from where it down shine bruh.
It’s called a teleprompter. They read a script that is often full of error. I mean, people only get paid big bucks and have millions of viewers. Why bother typing correctly so the news caster can read? Autocorrect? 😆
Herd mentality and infective masks will shepherd us through the crisis
She said masks are infected…🤣
no masks required there vaccine useless!
I’d rather mask up than take a vaccine. Choose wisely
@10000 subs with no vids But don’t you see – even “compromising” won’t open the country up? It’s been 7 months and most “almost everyone” has been wearing masks and quarantining – why haven’t they already opened the country up? We just learned from the CDC that only 6% of the Positive Cases/Deaths were solely due to CV19. (So that means the so-called Plague-Like Threat is actually 94% less of a Threat than they said it was). Why haven’t they opened the country up after that came out? No, “even Compromising” won’t allow this country to open again. (We have to expose the LIARS, the Criminally Incompetent so-called health experts, and hold them Accountable, and continue Resisting “STUPID” and their “Pseudoscience”).
@Ricardos Travels here’s the thing about that statistic you brought up: yes, only 6% died solely because of covid 19, but that’s not what’s important, and it doesn’t mean that the virus is 94% less of a threat. This is a respitory disease, right? Think about the elderly, think about people with asthma or other breathing problems. Those people most likely make up a large portion of that 94%. Those are the kinds of people we are trying to protect by wearing masks and following health guidelines. There is no doubt that having the virus amplifies the effects of these peoples’ conditions, putting them at a much higher risk of dying from it than the average person. That’s why that statistic isn’t enough to reopen the country
@10000 subs with no vids Yes, I agree – the “High-Risk” Group should have been quarantined and given Free HCQ. If the so-called health officials would have recommended HCQ be issued for free to everyone in the beginning, quarantined the high-risk, and had not panicked the world with criminally incompetent pseudoscience… this Pandemic would have been over in 30 days or less.
@Ricardos Travels It probably could’ve been over with even sooner if it weren’t for so many people, including myself, downplaying it back in February. Also, I don’t believe HCQ has been proven to treat or prevent covid just yet. This could’ve been handled so much better, and that’s exactly why I think we should all try and make an effort to wear masks because that’s all we really can do at this point
@10000 subs with no vids I agree, this should have been over in the first month. As far as HCQ – Compare (4.5 to 450+) in Countries where HCQ is allowed Over-The-Counter the CV19 Death Rate per million is around 2.5 avg compared to 450+ per million in Countries where HCQ is NOT ALLOWED Over-The-Counter. As far as it effectively inhibiting/blocking the SARS-CoV-2 Virus… Fauci has to know we had inexpensive, safe, and effective prevention and treatment drug from Studies his department did back in 2005 and again in March 2020 – which showed HCQ works/inhibits SARS-CoV-2 in just 5 days https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32205204/#&gid=article-figures&pid=fig-2-uid-1 > 1000s of Doctors around the world knows it is safe and effective https://americasfrontlinedoctorsummit.com/media/
Is it just me or is she mistakenly saying “masks are infective” – instead of effective?
she is.
What was that??
I think she was just nervous.
Clearly they offer 0 protection according to the box they come in. They are for control and if you are wearing muzzle you are the problem, you are responsible for our rights being taken.
Assure that “they” can trust.
“Free” vaccine .
It is not free.
@Francisco sosa correct it is NOT free and it will be infective!
@Crystal Giddens My observations lead me to believe it will have a limited effectiveness, as you mention. For after all our whole being is made for survival on earth, and that is the reason God, or nature did not make us all the same. So beware of the racist hater, for they come in all colors, and do evil deeds.
So masks didn’t protect but prevented spreading covid….now they protect…GTFOH!
Lmao! Take the $20 bill fold it turn it upside down see the man in the mask. Event 201

… you do know that covid didn’t exist just some months ago? We do learn new things all the time and that information is being given to the public. … that doesn’t mean that they are changing their mind or doesn’t know what they are talking about.
😂logic
