Dr. Pernell Battles Ben Ferguson Saying the CDC Lied About Effectiveness of Masks, Vaccines: ‘This Is How Science Works... ‘

EXCERPT:

FERGUSON: “Two, there‘s a cause and effect, and the CDC lied to us about Covid, and they lied a lot. They lied about masks in schools."

PERNELL: "Not true."

FERGUSON: "They lied about distancing. They lied about the efficiency or the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine."

PERNELL: "Not true."

FERGUSON: "It is true."

PERNELL: "Not true."

FERGUSON: "They said that distancing — wait, wait. Did they — did they not lie about the effectiveness of a mask?"

PERNELL: "Yes, if you talk about certain types of masks. If we‘re looking at high-quality masks, if we‘re looking at high-quality masks, right, so P95 masks, those masks actually prevent infections because — look, this is the way science works. Science works that as you get data, the type of communication that you give will improve. But you can't say the CDC lied."

PHILLIP:: "I actually think it‘s important — "

PERNELL: "It‘s very important."

PHILLIP: "If you‘re saying things that are not accurate, I do think it‘s fair for her to counter that."

FERGUSON: "CDC said that masking was effective and worked when they knew internal documents said — "

PERNELL: "It does work."

FERGUSON: " — and the emails came out that it didn‘t work. True or false? Six-foot distancing, true or false? The CDC say — "

PERNELL: "Misinformation, folks. You‘re seeing it in action."
