Things I did not expect to read as NY Times headlines...

  It's an opinion piece, written by Bret Stephens, AKA the bed bug dude who, among other things, "considers climate change a '20-year-old mass hysteria phenomenon' and rejects the notion that greenhouse-gas emissions are an environmental threat" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Stephens#Controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Stephens#Controversy

    Yes it is. And yes he is. Nonetheless, it doesn't discount the idea. The science says those generic blue disposable masks aren't virus-stopping. For all intents and purposes it was wearing nothing. Why do you think there was a time when Fauci was pushing the idea of wearing two masks? How could they not have known that prior? The masks are rated for efficacy. The sizes of viruses known. These things have nothing to do with Stephens. Sidebar: This is the second op-ed piece from a major publication that asks questions of the handling of the pandemic, but from less than ideal authors. Why is that? I feels like a "soft launch" of what will eventually be the left-leaning mainstream media finally admitting they over-sold "the science" that wasn't actually science. https://www.newsweek.com/its-time-scientific-community-admit-we-were-wrong-about-coivd-it-cost-lives-opinion-1776630 https://www.newsweek.com/its-time-scientific-community-admit...
