Biden tells Iowans: ‘We choose truth over facts’ - Washington Examiner

Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic front-runner crowd, left some in the crowd at the Iowa State Fair mystified when he told them: We choose truth over facts." The 76-year-old former vice president, who loquacious style and propensity for flubbing his lines endears him to some and draws mockery from...

Well science says masks work but the truth is the political statement most people are walking around wearing isn't worth the recycled garbage china makes them from.

Boo-hoo. He has said truth over fiction a thousand times. So he said it wrong once. No one cares. Just like with Trump’s “herd mentality” when he meant herd immunity.

The WHO and the CDC both say masks don't protect the person wearing it. That is science. Your political statement is the nonsense.

The WHO and the CDC also make it clear that the main point of getting everyone wearing a mask is not to protect the person wearing the mask.
 
When Biden says he chooses truth over facts, he puts equation marks around "facts" because he's talking about the stuff that Trump calls "facts." Just because we can't see the quotation marks doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it, regardless of how stupid it might be. :)

Wearing a mask does help to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Every single trusted expert and organization has affirmed that fact.

Protecting Americans is not political.

You said “Well science says masks work but the truth is the political statement most people are walking around wearing isn't worth the recycled garbage china makes them from.” That is nonsense.

Masks slow the spread of the the virus. That is the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community. The CDC (along with ever other government agency) and the WHO both agree.

Masks on the people who have it slows the spread. Masks on the people who don't, nope.

So how does that make masks worth less than recycled garbage? Slowing the spread is what we all should be trying to do.

Ask the FDA. Not all masks are created equal.

Wear a good one. Like the 650 million that the Feds were going to send out before it was nixed by the White House because it didn’t fit their message.
