Vox.com: "Oh, and face masks? You can pass on them. Masks are only useful if you have a respiratory infection already and want to limit the risk of spreading, or if you're working in a hospital in direct contact with people who have respiratory illnesses." Deleted and sent down the memory hole today

I mean, it's Vox. They'll blindly repeat whatever the establishment left tells them.

They said you don't need masks because in the early days those masks were in critically short supply, and they were trying to get them to the healthcare workers that needed them more than you did. It was a bad move that rightfully damaged their credibility, though, and they should have pleaded with Americans to avoid them for a while while healthcare needs were met first.

They straight up lied. Now they're using the memory hole to prevent anyone from proving that they lied. This is, literally, straight out of 1984. This was the main character's job.

Now they're using the memory hole to prevent anyone from proving that they lied.

It's insane at this point. Anyone remember when anarchists took over city blocks for weeks and were dealt with kid gloves? Does anybody remember the vegas mass shooting event and how the intelligence community still can't give us a motivation for that?
