posts...please come out from behind the curtain...I promise I won't bite...I just want to converse directly. Until that day, here is my response to you...note: be sure to reference my reply to Iggle as well.

Regarding Iggle's linked report...
>Yes, I did what any responsible evaluator would do...check the source of the report (Cochrane Library) and found it to be quite low on the Totem Pole of medical journals...nowhere near the level of one you are familiar with (e.g. NEJM)...and that gives me pause (see the reply to Iggle)
>Iggle's linked report was replete with "Uncertainties" on virtually every measure...and in short, NEVER reached a conclusion that said "Masks Don't Work"...hardly a study worthy of basing life-risking decisions to not use masks.
>Then there's the NEJM report that I found...which CLEARLY shows...with EVIDENCE involving thousands of staff and children that UNIVERSAL (i.e. Mandated) masking in schools DOES INDEED REDUCE the spread of COVID-19.

Regarding your other comments...
>Dr. Fauci has EARNED the respect and acclaim from his PEERS, and believe me, our own ID and ICU Specialists...who spend ALL their time being and becoming as professional as they can be in their fields...join them in thanks for his service to the nation...I'll say again...our ID Doc was at the most recent IDSA gathering (9,000+ attendees) and reported that everyone there...all of them dedicated MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS...considered Dr. Fauci to be a "Superstar"...all based on what he has DONE for patients and the Infectious Disease community.
>As for our ID and Pulmonary/CC Docs...they are indeed outstanding and I'm blessed to have them available for consultation on COVID matters...I get solid clearly explained opinions of what's happening, and even more importantly, what actions people should take to protect themselves...as a result, I feel it only right for me to share such knowledge with others, like this board.
>If I had a nickel for every time you interject "Politics" into a post, I could probably buy Mar-a-Lago with cash only ;-)...you're not kidding anyone with your 'Projections' of political intent onto "The Left"

One more time...I don't expect you to change one iota...just be willing to engage in adult conversations...at least for the benefit of all those watching.
