@robertwills I don’t think Fauci’s lie was that masks didn’t work. The lie is that masks do work. The body of clinical research bears this out. I think that’s why he continuously leans on wearing masks as “common sense” not “the data says”. Because the data says the opposite.
www.cambridge.org
Here is a summary article from Cambridge on the research. Although there are studies that show a theoretical effect in the lab, when you look at the studies that actually looked at mask wearing in actual people, there was no effect.
These studies were all looking at influenza, which although not Covid is similar in size and route of transmission.
There was a large Danish study in mask wearing for Covid. It did not show a statically significant benefit.
On the flip side, there are other studies also showing harm, particularly in children, due to CO2 exposure. The level of CO2 accumulation from wearing a mask can exceed federal industrial CO2 exposure limits. EDIT...I just looked up this study again and it has been retracted, although no explanation of why, but presumably something is wrong with the design, collection, or conclusion so it doesn't provide meaningful information.
This is just one example of many where the official recommendations fly in the face of the actual science.
As a general rule, anytime Fauci or some other scientist says “it’s common sense”, I assume it’s a lie or they don’t know and are blowing smoke up my butt. Good science is not based on common sense, it’s based on data that proves the effect.

Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers: A Randomized Controlled Trial: Annals of Internal Medicine: Vol 174, No 3
Background: Observational evidence suggests that mask wearing mitigates transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is uncertain if this observed association arises through protection of uninfected wearers (protective effect), via reduced transmission from...
