‘We Can Stop This In Its Tracks’ If Everyone Wears Masks Says CDC Director

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has claimed that the country could stop the coronavirus “in its tracks” if everyone wore a mask until the majority had been vaccinated.

CDC director Rochelle Walensky made her comments during an interview with Healthline that was published on Friday

Breitbart reports: Healthline asked the CDC director if she agrees with former CDC director Tom Frieden’s estimation that “we could get to 200,000 new cases a day.”

“I’ve seen modeling data. Some of the modeling data do go up that high. Not all of them do. Do I think it’s possible? Yes, I think it’s possible,” she said.

“What I do want to reiterate, though, is a unified approach as a country would stop this [pandemic] in its tracks. We know what we need to do to stop this virus. It can fall short of many of the things we had to do last year. Do I think we all need to stay home right now? I do not,” she continued before pitching masks as a crucial mitigation strategy.

“But if we are able to get the vast majority of people vaccinated and if, in the meantime until they are fully vaccinated, we had everybody wearing masks, we can stop this in its tracks and really be in a way better place in a relatively short period of time,” she added.

It remains unclear why she believes this action would stop the virus “in its tracks,” given the mass spread of the virus last year, particularly in heavily restricted blue states which had mask mandates in place for months on end.

Her remarks follow the CDC’s controversial July 27 guidance stating that vaccinated individuals should wear a mask in areas of high transmission. On Friday, the CDC provided some of the data on which it based that decision — primarily a batch of a few hundred breakthrough cases in Massachusetts, none of which resulted in death.

Walensky’s call for more masking also follows the revelation of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails, which show him doubting the efficacy of drugstore masks.

“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material,” he wrote in a February 2020 email.

“It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you,” he added, ultimately recommending Sylvia Burwell, President of American University and former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, not to wear one.

  1. we can stop this in its tracks if we burn down the labs that are making the viruses, and assasinate the hired spreaders.

    • I remember a story about a truck that was stolen if Africa. The red alert was that it was full of covid virus samples.

    • Of course it won’t. Anytime they want to distract the public or do something foul to the country all they have to do is create a varient. FKN JOKE! OBVIOUSLY they are not too worried about the disease when they are lets tens of thousands of illegal aliens into the country and sending them everywhere WITH NO TESTING OR VACCINATIONS. THEY CAN SUCK ME, I WILL NEVER TAKE THE POISON SHOT, ONLY A TRUE MORON WOULD.

      • Terry Jones, you’re absolutely right, and I agree 100%. Of course, it won’t .. Anytime they want to distract the public or do something foul to the country, all they need do is create a variant. What a joke! Obviously, they aren’t too worried about the disease when they’re letting tens of thousands of illegal aliens into the country every day and sending them everywhere with no testing or vaccinations. They can suck me too, I’ll never take the poison shot, only a real moron would do such a thing.

    • It wont end even if everyone complies. Thats the real issue.I t wont abd untill everyones forgotten about Epstein et al .And that’s NOT because he or Ghislane are Jewish either .Its because if all of the others involved. ALL it almost all of the ruling class that are in the public spotlight .

  2. 15 days to flatten the curve
    This can be stopped in it’s track if there are strategically placed Tepesh Pikes
    Bannon was prescient

    • They statistically fudge the curve by the way they use the faulty testing methodology They can flatten the curve whenever they want too ,and vice versa And they ALL know it .Everyone with the most BASIC medical comm8n sense knows it .

  3. Stop what ? The propaganda machine? Bot likely since O Bomber legalised it to be used as a weapon against the governments own citizens

  4. THE TRUTH IS: We can stop this in it’s tracks if everyone told these traitors to take their masks and their shots and shove it where the sun don’t shine. The ONLY reason they can get away with all the lies and covid BS is because we let them. WE ALL MUST BE STUPID.

  5. How about following real science instead. Stop the massive false positive PCR tests and give anyone who gets sick hydroxy and zinc

  6. Been there done that. How about quit testing. Why did the flu disappear. What about false positive or negative. Masks capture germs.

  7. “stop this in its tracks”?? She’s not even a good liar. Reminds me of when Biden said “I’m not going to shut down the economy, I’m going to shut down the virus.”

  8. I officially despise this brain dead kuunt. Shove your masks in your evacuation orifice.

  9. The masks and folded t shirts we are told to wear over our faces do not stop viruses. It is physically impossible, given the relative sizes of the virus and the porosity of the masks. I defy the CDC to prove differently. It’s such a basic scientific fact, yet one of the many facts that is being ignored by the CDC and others. Just prove masks are effective CDC, because I can easily prove they do nothing to stop the virus.

  10. It won’t stop for a while, because too many are getting rich off this. The mask and lock downs just make it last longer.
