The CDC is truly cooked if they’re basing science around trying to prove a negative. That is research methods 101 level shit.

    When the CDC said face masks wouldn’t help prevent the spread of COVID they were cooked.

    Lots of good still there, but this shit is old.

      That was a lousy thing to do. Likely done to keep face masks in stock for first responders, but still lousy.

        Well exactly. And they could have just said that, but they went with a ridiculous lie instead.

      It was rather interesting to see how learning that masks were more about protecting others impacted the behavior of your average Karen.
