Fauci: why the public wasn't told to wear masks when the coronavirus pandemic began
The Hill ^ | June 16, 2020 | Alexandra Kelley

"But also, it can protect you a certain degree, not a hundred percent, in protecting you from getting infected from someone who, either is breathing, or coughing, or sneezing, or singing or whatever it is in which the droplets or the aerosols go out. So masks work,” Fauci added.

“The important thing is actually physical separation,” Fauci said, adding that the combination of social distancing and face masks is the best way for the public to mitigate the spread and reduce transmission while maintaining some normalcy by venturing in public.

He also acknowledged that masks were initially not recommended to the general public so that first responders wouldn’t feel the strain of a shortage of PPE.

He explained that public health experts "were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply.”

Did he mention anything about his role in working with the Chinese, in the beginning stages, when the Chinese were planning this pandemic?

Headline is deceptive - not only did they not advise to wear masks, they discouraged it, and said you don’t want to do that.

It would make things worse.

The Hill is toilet paper.

They waited until after the peak to recommend because the degree of participation of the masks could only last for so long and the timing had to be right to coincide with the riots when people would be still wearing face coverings as to embolden the looters.

Where is the proof anyone planned this? Repeated speculation and accusation are not proof. That said, Fauci’s answer over masks and N-95 masks is pretty weak.

So many things wrong with this man - he admits he took part in a lie which prevented people from protecting themselves when this disease first broke in the US. And he doesn't acknowledge the simple fact that there is still a shortage of facemasks for most people, who make do with cloth masks or re-use masks meant to be used once.

He didn’t mention how the Chinese had their agents around the world buy up all the PPE and send it back to China before they spread the plague.

Pure b.s.

It's because their inner scientists ruled their thinking before they got the memo to spread panic. They knew then and they know now that the virus particles are so small they pass right through the masks. It's pure theater.

Fauci has lost all credibility. Does anyone really listen to him any more.

Where is the proof you’re not a hallucination?

Where is the proof the universe wasn’t created five minutes ago with the appearance of age?

Oh, I see. It’s properly basic belief, otherwise known as common sense.

Was the Russia collusion hoax planned?

Was the impeachment hoax planned?

Were the Floyd riots planned?

Is fake news planned?

It’s all about control. I read that Columbia, SC just decided to make it compulsory to wear a mask in public. Charleston is considering it too.

The heck with that.

This is while the virus is declining (just as predicted) - but now they’re trying to stir up hysteria about a “second wave,” since the panic and thus the control were wearing off. Fauci must have realized that his influence is on the wane and he needed to rev it up again with a little panic.
