Hola!

I am Localvore (also known elsewhere as Locavore).

So far (August 30th, 2021), I've posted one edit on Wikipedia, on this page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_masks_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic

The edit was quickly deleted without cause, and then I added it again with two minor changes/improvements. It now reads:

THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT

'''The most important scientific fact is that universal use of face masks CAN "bring under control [by definition, end] the global pandemic in six to 12 weeks" (https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/politics/100000007344183/redfield-cdc-masks.html), as stated under oath by the Director of the CDC in August, 2020 -- and yet this fact is only being added here one year later, today, August 30, 2021, and has not been stated anywhere else in this Wikipedia article. Millions of lives and trillions of dollars of global treasure could have been saved with a global policy of facemasks for all. How many will die, how much treasure will be wasted, before the truth becomes the foundation of policy?'''

After reposting, an editor posted on my page to inform me that my note was deleted because it was an opinion, and that I may be blocked if I reposted the opinion. I replied that I would amend it to be only factual, and repost. The editor subsequently deleted his note to me on my page and deleted my response.

Here is the content of the subsequently amended note:

"According to the New York Times, at https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/politics/100000007344183/redfield-cdc-masks.html, "Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the [now former] director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told senators [under oath] that if all Americans wore masks, the coronavirus could be controlled in six to 12 weeks.” However, national and global policy makers have not adopted a policy of face masks for all, but instead have supported spending trillions on other preventions and treatments, at a cost of over 4.4 million lives so far."
