I bought a pair for my kids on ebay. I also found some Unicorn ones for my daughter at Ross.
But this was at the very beginning when the pandemic started and we know more now.

The point I was trying to make is that I don't know for sure why he did a 180 on that. I know the explanation he gave, but I don't know for sure how truthful it is. Wearing facemasks doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the notion that we're supposed to have 100% trust in what we're being told.
Who tf else are you going to trust to give you information during a global pandemic besides your country’s top doctor/epidemiologist?
The thing is, he's not the only epidemiologist on the planet. Over in other countries we aren't particularly invested in this Dr Fauci who we had never heard of before, but we followed the same procedures. Funny that. Maybe epidemiologists agree.

So you'll do absolutely anything he says regarding the virus without an iota of doubt?
They’re asking us (here in Canada, too) to:
Wash our hands
Social distance/keep 6’
Wear a mask to prevent our droplets infecting others
Not to mix households at all here in BC right now - orders extended to January 8th
Etc
These all seem like pretty common sense things to do to prevent the spread of a highly infectious lethal virus. They’re also all pretty simple and relatively easily done. On top of that, doing them are signs of not only intelligent life with a sense of self preservation, but also of respect for others - especially the elderly & immunocompromised.
Why would I doubt any of them? Why wouldn’t I do them? How hard is it to comply with not coughing or sneezing on each other during a viral pandemic?

No but apparently for some the idea of questioning or having any kind of a problem with anything we're being told, amounts to someone being paranoid, idiotic, insane, perhaps even criminal...

I guess you don't realize that you keep giving validity to what I'm saying.
I guess you don’t realize that the crap you’re saying is inspired by YouTubers with online degrees in tinfoil hat making & makes you look gullible af for falling for their narrative as they make money from their clickbait, ads, a selling survival gear crap for your doomsday bunker.

Wtf else are they asking people to do besides their part to prevent the spread of a novel virus that’s killing people?
Oh, I did forget one thing: Yes, I will get vaccinated ASAP. It’s the scientific “out,” of this whole viral pandemic mess.

That's a good point, but for whatever reason Fauci seems to be the only one ever mentioned here, even by those outside the US.
