evidence: A study by Fauci and colleagues didn’t blame 1918 Spanish flu deaths on masks [...] "Even back to the 1918 Spanish Flu, it was shown in a paper written by Fauci that most of the deaths that occurred during the Spanish flu, were not the Spanish flu — the virus — it was actually secondary infections due to wearing those stupid cotton masks," a man claims in a video clip shared on Instagram. "So people need to be aware." [...] There is "absolutely no evidence that masks had anything to do with contributing to bacterial pneumonia," Fauci added.
