I would have respected him saying don't buy masks because other people need them, but that's not what they did. And he admitted it. They told people "don't wear a mask". So if masks work, how many people died because he told them not to wear one? (not that I think masks are anything other than a feel good unless it is an N-95)
Again, that’s from the 60 Minutes interview on March 8th when Fauci said people don’t need to wear masks right now because at that point there were less than 300 known cases nationally. Did you need to wear a mask when the prevalence was in the ballpark of .00001%? No.
None of what he said was a lie.
And for the umpteenth time, wearing a mask or cloth face covering is like a sneeze guard for your face. It’s the same as your mom telling you to cover your mouth when you cough. It reduces the spread of respiratory droplets. So they help reduce the spread of the virus from infected people to others by containing the respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze, talk, etc. Pretty simple really. Can’t believe we still need to explain.
