CDC head says masks are better than vaccine at preventing Covid spread as Trump sends mixed messages
(CNN)President Donald Trump's own health officials continue to publicly contradict him when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic -- this time on the importance of mask wearing.
In fact, Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testified that mask wearing may be a more effective protection against coronavirus than the potential vaccine that the President can't stop hyping.
"I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against Covid than when I take a Covid vaccine, because the immunogenicity may be 70%. And if I don't get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me. This face mask will," Redfield told lawmakers during public testimony on Wednesday, adding that the American public has not yet embraced the use of masks to a level that could effectively control the outbreak.

Trump deserves to be contradicted when he is wrong in his statements.

Quote please.Trump agrees with you. He said again last night that we don’t even need a vax. Rona gonna go away by itself soon.
Quote please.
Anyhow. Are you now claiming Trump prefers masks over the vaccine?

You said he agreed with me, did you not?No idea where you got that from. Silly.

A mask doesn't protect the wearer. It protects everyone else.
You would be correct.I think the caveat to that statement was if the vaccine was 50% effective which it seems is the bar that they’re setting for this one. My understanding - I’m not doctor or biologist - is that most vaccines are closer to 90% effective.
That’s said a safe 50% effective vaccine is likely a good start.
Idk. Perhaps I should start communicating with you in Latin. You’re having a hard time with English.You’re making a leap with the word “preference”. Dunno. He seems to have changed his mind on vaccines though.

Indeed. It's sad to see Trump's "best person" for CDC head make such basic mistakes.

Quit muta ludere mecum,
If Masks work so well, why is it that Doctors wear them and not patients?
NevermindOr you could say things that are interesting. Whichever.
They also wear face shields. Should we all follow their example?Doctors wear N95 masks that protect them too. They also wear masks to protect the patients when environment has to be as sterile as possible.
President OrangeGlow is in the middle of a reelection campaign and could give a **** about truth, or facts, or science, or medicine or anything that the CDC would say.
Trump is not sending “mixed messages,” he is continuing on his campaign of outright lying and flat out making **** up as he goes. A complete lunatic at the wheel of this nation.
If they work sooooooooooo well, why are people who wear masks dying in the United States?
Whose masks? The wearer's of the other guy?
The CDC itself said that masks do not protect the wearer since the wearer's eyeballs can route the virus that lands on them into the lungs just as well. They only reduce the distance if the wearer sneezes, coughs, or spits. They do not filter the virus when you are breathing in or out. It's too damn small. That's what ventilators are for.
The best antidote is not acting like a hungry pig all your life. If you are still scared, go to the basement and stay there. Throwing people out of work to save a few old guys with conditions is beyond idiotic.
It is also not sustainable. Next time around - a year from - are we going to add another 5 trillion bucks to the fed debt?

This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."
That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.
It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

The best defense we currently have against this virus are the important mitigation efforts of wearing a mask, washing your hands, social distancing and being careful about crowds.
