One of the reasons why so many people have had it with all this coronavirus hysteria is because of the mixed messages we keep getting from people in top government offices.
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Robert Redfield, was testifying in front of Congress where he made some weird statements about masks and vaccines before finally reversing himself on those statements.
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield testified that mask-wearing may be a more effective protection against coronavirus than a vaccine, adding that the American public has not yet embraced the use of masks to a level that could effectively control the outbreak https://t.co/q9KiaKxCLm

He then posted a tweet talking about how important he thinks vaccines are.
I 100% believe in the importance of vaccines and the importance in particular of a #COVID19 vaccine. A COVID-19 vaccine is the thing that will get Americans back to normal everyday life.

So I guess he wants people to wear masks and take vaccines? It’s hard to know what he actually means with all this.
Back in February, this same guy was telling people not to buy or wear masks. Statements that totally contradict everything he is saying now.
CDC's Redfield, 2/27/20:
1) Healthy ppl should not wear *any* masks
2) Lectures Americans: "I see people feeling the need to go buy masks … It really does displease me to find ppl going out [& buying medical-grade masks] … there's no role for these masks in the community." pic.twitter.com/9NxT4ZWpOq— Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel) September 17, 2020
Back then, nobody knew what the coronavirus was or how bad it was and I thought that it was weird for people in government to discourage people who felt unsafe to not buy or wear masks. Such a thing should have been a personal choice. But now that we have more information about what we are dealing with, it is obvious that these cloth masks are not effective. Yet despite that, numerous people in government are forcing healthy people to wear masks against their will for no definitive health reason.
The fact that the head of the CDC doesn’t understand any of this is insane and shows that he has no idea what he is talking about. He like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx have been wrong about the coronavirus the entire time and they continue to be wrong.
This fiasco also led Donald Trump to tell the media that he thought Redfield was confused about the vaccine.
“I think he made a mistake when he said that.”

The media has used this to attack Trump for not listening to experts or whatever.
All of this is so dumb. Masks have proven to be worthless and there is no reason to rush out a vaccine for something that has proven to be no more dangerous than the flu. It’s sickening that Trump has to go along with all this nonsense because the media has brainwashed a majority of the population into believing this is all real.
Everything about the coronavirus is a lie. Nothing these government bureaucrats say about the coronavirus can be trusted. The CDC head’s weird contradictory statements and reversals proves this yet again.
