CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: A 2008 Study Co Authored by Anthony Fauci Did Not Find That Masks Caused Bacterial Pneumonia, Contrary to Viral Social Media Claim. The study concluded that the majority of deaths during the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic likely resulted from secondary bacterial pneumonia. However, there is no mention of masks in the study, nor did the study draw any causal association between bacterial pneumonia and mask use. The claim that the study demonstrates that mask use causes bacterial pneumonia is false. It has been long known that deaths from flu is frequently from opportunistic diseases, ones that take advantage of the weakened immune system to overwhelm defense mechanisms. This causes confusion if someone died of the flu, or another disease. Something like someone dying during a hurricane but listed as dying from other causes due to a building collapsing on them.

CV20. Communication: Is Low Mask Wearing in Rural Communities a Sign of Poor Health Messaging. This is especially worrisome because characteristics associated with poor Covid-19 outcomes, like older age, poorer general health, and fewer health care providers per capita, are more common in rural communities. In addition, many rural counties have been slowest to adopt key preventive public health measures such as social distancing and mask wearing.
CV20.1. A Hidden Success in the Covid-19 Mess: The Internet CV19. Here is my working definition of a public health expert: someone who is constantly frustrated that people will not act on clear health advice in the interests of their own health.
-A. Paradoxically, Covid-19 – the biggest public health and economic calamity in several generations – is showing that people can and will listen and act. We, the people, have done remarkably well around the world when it comes to following public health advice. This is in spite of the fact that several governments, including those of the U.S. and many states, have not supported the clear public health message that people need to make enormous changes to their behaviors to protect themselves and others.
CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Many Military Covid-19 Cases Show No Symptoms. Study of Marine Recruits Finds Fever, Symptom Screening Misses Many Coronavirus Cases. An Outbreak of Covid-19 on an Aircraft Carrier. One of the weaknesses of social science studies is the lack of a lab. The military is not quite a lab, but given its discipline, organization and records it can be used for social experiments. For CV it is likely that there is data that would be useful but not being shared as it conflicts with the current Article II Section 2 Clause 1 narrative.

CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Challenging World Leaders amid Medical Populism. Medical populism describes the style – not the content – of political actors' responses to health crisis. In Jair Bolsonaro's Brazil and Donald Trump's USA, dramatic displays of defiance to public health guidelines would have resonated among libertarian constituencies, but not in Rodrigo Duterte's Philippines, where no such movement exists. It is thus unsurprising that Trump's reaction to his own illness mirrored his Brazilian counterpart's: both used their own illness to vindicate their having downplayed the pandemic.
