COVID killed 15 million people. Of course it was real. A question like that attempts to deflect from legitimate questions about how it originated and the incompetent response from Fauci. Initially Fauci gave multiple reasons for not wearing masks including a lack of evidence that they were effective. And the masks that 99% wore were useless and even then, they could take them off to eat and drink in public. Laughable. If they were necessary to stop the spread of COVID, why aren't we still wearing them? Even at crowded events. COVID is still around. So are a lot of other deadly contagious diseases like the flu. But Biden and the Dems waved a magic wand after the 2020 election and it all went away. Do you still wear a mask?
Fauci never said masks were ineffective without referring to a specific type. Without a vaccine masks were all we had.
Before the vaccine there was no treatment, we could only stop the spread. You forget, distribution was stalled by a
sitting President more concerned with having lost an election then the lives of Americans in a raging pandemic.
Further to that point, it was Trump spreading deadly misinformation
re: horse de-wormer or household cleaners.
The vaccine greatly weakened the virus.
You can't figure that out? What did Fauci do wrong? - and what should he have done instead?
