'They knew masks wouldn't work, still…': Newly released Fauci texts spark COVID cover-up fury

When Sen. Rand Paul released private texts and messages from Anthony Fauci to the public several weeks ago, it brought the now-former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases back into the national conversation. Well, there are some more new text messages that should cast doubt on both Fauci's public statements and the media's all-too-willing promotion of them. One such message came from Michael Osterholm. Osterholm is an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, as well as a professor in the school's public health department. Importantly, he's also the director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP). CIDRAP became famous during COVID when one of their articles, published in April 2020, acknowledged the truth that there was no evidence to support cloth masking to stop the spread of the virus. They were then forced to issue "clarifications" when pressure became overwhelming to support masks, regardless of the data and evidence.
