Here Are The 3 Biggest Findings In Florida’s Grand Jury Report On Covid ‘Wrongdoing’

A new grand jury report contains damning information about how the 'expert' class did not, in fact, 'follow the science' on Covid.

By Refusing To Acknowledge The Jab’s Risks, Trump Helps The Covid Cult Evade Accountability

Trump's refusal to acknowledge the Covid shots' existing side effects helps no one except those who lied about their efficacy.

Health experts now advise wearing two masks instead of one to stop the spread of COVID



With the news of potentially more contagious coronavirus variants spreading across the globe, several leading health experts are now recommending wearing two masks instead of one to stem transmission of the disease.

The practice of "double masking" — usually achieved by placing a cloth mask over a surgical one — started trending over the last month after more contagious variants of the virus were discovered first in the United Kingdom, then in South Africa and Brazil, and has since been backed health experts.

Over the weekend, double masking received endorsement from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert and chief medical adviser for President Biden.

In an interview with NBC's "Today," Fauci argued the practice just makes "sense."

"If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective and that's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N-95," he said.

Shortly after Fauci's remarks, a top public health expert in New York City also advised residents to wear two masks in order to combat the new faster-spreading coronavirus strains.

Dr. Jay Varma, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio's senior adviser on public health, said during a morning briefing on Tuesday, "If you have the opportunity to wear more than one mask, it is more likely that it's going to be helpful than it's going to be harmful."

"In fact, myself, I now am starting to wear a surgical mask covered by a fabric mask," he continued, adding, "More is probably better, even though we don't know for sure why these new strains are more infectious."

Still others, including Linsey Marr, an expert in virus transmission and professor at Virginia Tech University, have pitched the practice as a good idea.

"A mask is like an obstacle course for particles to get through," Marr said in conversation with AARP. "Adding a second mask increases the chance that the particle will be trapped before it gets through."

While wearing two masks has not been recommended in any official guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it nonetheless has picked up steam as a new mitigation effort.

At least three new identified coronavirus variants have raised concerns since their recent discovery due to the belief that they are up to 70% more transmissible than other strains.

Flashback: Experts, media orgs said it was 'impossible' to develop a vaccine by the end of the year



On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially granted Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine emergency use authorization, kicking off a massive distribution plan that promises to inoculate millions of Americans by the year's end. On Monday, the first doses of the groundbreaking vaccine were administered at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, New York.

This is overwhelming good news and obviously a historic achievement for the United States, and yes, many thanks are owed to the Trump administration, which pushed the development of a vaccine into overdrive with Operation Warp Speed. But don't tell that to critics of the president, who vehemently discounted that a vaccine could be produced so quickly simply because it was President Trump who promised it.

For months, public health experts and legacy media organizations cautioned Americans that Trump's claims of a vaccine by the end of the year were "impossible."

"It is preposterous," pandemic expert Dr. Irwin Redlener said in May regarding Trump's promise. "It is impossible to get that done by the end of the year."

NBC News ran a fact-check on Trump's claims, citing experts to say that a vaccine was still 12 to 18 months away unless a medical "miracle" happened.

Bloomberg News questioned if Trump's vaccine aspirations amounted to an "impossible dream."

Business Insider reported in April that a vaccine against the coronavirus might be impossible to produce regardless of the timeline.

In a September report about Trump's vaccine promises, NPR made sure to note that the president was "contradicting the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]."

ABC News similarly reported that Trump's vaccine promise stood in contrast to what his own team of experts said.

CNBC noted that Trump's promise, which he repeated during the final presidential debate, was issued "despite contrary evidence."

When Trump announced at a campaign stop early in November that a vaccine was within weeks of being developed, Vox journalist Aaron Rupar called it the "surest indication yet" that America was not close on a vaccine.

Trump's statement turned out to be correct. On Nov. 9, Pfizer and BioNTech announced a breakthrough on the vaccine.

On the campaign trail, former Vice President Joe Biden said, "I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust Donald Trump."

It appears that many public health experts and media organizations adopted that same line of thinking. Instead of reporting about the optimistic progress taking place in the search for a vaccine, they leaned into any pessimism they could find around the subject. Ultimately, they were proven wrong.
