"People should not be walking around wearing a mask.
"Nobody should be wearing a mask."
"There's no reason to be walking around wearing a mask."
"Wearing a mask might make people feel better."
"There are unintended consequences (to wearing a mask.)"

Ask him if he cares.

He doesn't.

Four Months ago might as well be in the History section next to Napoleon, it matters so little.

That was when he wanted government and hospitals to horde every face mask available while we were having running gun battles in the grocery aisles for the last roll of toilet paper. He knew what it would be like if we all wanted masks too, so he and the Surgeon General threw us overboard rather than share.

Is a mask perfect? Nowhere close. But it can cut down on the droplets being spewed all over the place and cut down on the number you breathe from other people. Is some cases it may prevent infection and in other cases it will just reduce the viral load at the beginning of an infection. Most importantly, he believed masks were good then... just not for you. And it wasn't because you are too stupid to know how to use it.

Huh. I thought Fauci was the “voice of science” that Trump should have listened to.

Trump shut down travel into the United States from China before the end of January. If I remember correctly, he also declared a public health emergency before the end of January.

The MSM-Democrats accused him of “not listening to the science,” and specifically of not listening to Fauci.

Something’s not adding up here.

They only wanted the wealthy and elite to have masks. Dr. Fauci just lied about it.

Actually Fauci just told the truth. Anyone with a brain knows how ineffective the masks are with regards to containment of the virus through the masks. Just look at the latest vaping demonstration. The vaping shows the total ineffectiveness of the masks.

He was protecting the elite. Medical professionals have been using asks for over 100 years. Fauci thinks the great masses should not be able to use masks.

Trump destroyed his own economy by listening to this asshole. Every time Fauci flips his story, Trump’s head spins. It’s really pathetic.
