Allan K, what is your source for the claim that “Wearing a mask … can cause bacterial pneumonia per a study by Dr. Fauci in 2008”? Because a false claim like that has been circulating on social media perniciously enough that Reuters to the time to debunk it: “Fact check: Fauci study did not attribute 1918 Spanish flu deaths to bacterial pneumonia caused by masks”, by Reuters Staff, 22. Oct 2020 (https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-fauci-mask-pneumonia-1918-idUSKBN277200).
A 2020 (not 2008) paper by one “Colleen Huber, NMD” (not Fauci) apparently claims that mask cause bacterial pneumonia. That paper was not peer-reviewed, it was posted a while on a site “ResearchGate”, then removed.
Fauci, on the other hand, was a co-author on a 2008 paper about causes of death in past pandemics. It was published in a journal, and appears not to be taken down or withdrawn (https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/198/7/962/2192118). Reuters says that paper ‘does not mention masks and found that bacterial pneumonia led to most deaths in the Spanish flu pandemic when it had been preceded by “viral damage,” or influenza infection.’ And, ‘Fauci makes it very clear in his description of the study that bacterial pneumonia was preceded by the influenza virus: “The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths. In essence, the virus landed the first blow while bacteria delivered the knockout punch."’
So if you are going to spread claims that mask wearing causes bacterial pneumonia, please don’t falsely cite Dr Fauci as an authority.
