2020-09-16 | The CDC Head Said Masks Are Better Than Vaccines. Here’s What He Meant. – Mother Jones

'If you don’t like the battle analogy, you might prefer the public health concept of layering. '

'Masks may expose people to just enough virus to create an immune response—an immunological concept, known as “variolation.” It’s the same one behind vaccines. '

'By reducing the amount of virus individuals are exposed to, masks may also lessen the severity of the disease should they catch COVID-19. '

'Even worse: Is he intimating that we shouldn’t trust the vaccine because it’s being rushed for political reasons?'

'If the vaccine is only 60 percent effective, this group unwittingly could be spreading the virus far and wide. '

It's not a vaccine.

It's an unknown, unproven, and unscrutinized injection.

Yeah but this is an emergency!

THOUSANDS of people are getting this particular strain of cold virus, and there are only a half-dozen proven, very cheap and widely available treatments!!!!

We're hearing a lot of pushback on the whole vaccine thing, and most people are actually wearing these masks. So Im going to slowly walk this vaccine off stage and give the masks another 15 minute set. Ladies and Gentlemen give it up for those fabulous masks you love so much!

Especially on account of they said so...and Trump's vaccine is going to beat them to market, so obviously it won't work on imaginary diseases.

The headline assumes either is effective.

Hard for them to be effective against a hoax that harms a fraction of people that the flu does.
