Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested Wednesday that Americans should consider wearing goggles or a face shield in order to prevent spreading or catching COVID-19.
"If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it," the nation's top infectious disease expert told ABC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton during an Instagram Live conversation on ABC News.
When asked if we're going to get to a point where eye protection is recommended, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases responded, "It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces."
"You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye," he continued. "Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it."
He noted that googles and eye or face shields are "not universally recommended" at this time, "but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can."

Fauci looks ahead to flu season
As the summer transitions into the fall, Fauci also discussed the oncoming flu season.
Fauci said he hopes wearing masks will help limit the spread of influenza as well.
"It is inevitable that we're going to have some degree of flu," he said. "I'm hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza."
"Go out there and get your flu shot when the flu vaccine becomes available," he urged.

Oops, you beat me by 43 seconds.
“What’s the big deal about a mask? It shows you care!”
Don’t you just HATE that — “It shows you care”?!?
I’ve been looking at masks on Amazon, and some of them have the message, “Be a nice human.” Gag me!
Others are better, e.g.:
This is b**ls**t (no asterisks)
F**k this mask and the c**ks*****s that require it (no asterisks)
FREEDOM does not look like this
When that happens, wanna bet on how many days he will lie in state in the Capitol?
I'll open with three.
To bad that the central planners eliminated that option for those of us in Ohio.
Yeah. Right. Steaming pantload alert.
This deep state prick is never going to let this go and the media is never going to stop worshiping him as long as he continues this crapolla.
There won’t be any flu. It all gets called covid.
Probably lots. But even if he didn't own a single share, they would still give him millions for conning the sheep into demanding their products.
Beside the mouth and nose, the eyes are a major entry point for viruses (& other microbes) into the human body.
Not only am I NOT advocating the general public wear a face shield/goggles, I also do NOT advocate everyone be mandated to wear a mask. Now, if someone is immuno-compromised, probably a good idea but that's between them and their physician.
The fact that he's just now talking about this, is further proof that they are not looking at this from a medical/scientific perspective.
Because if they were, N-95/N-99/N-100 respirators (& NOT cloth masks) coupled with biosafety lab grade face shields and/or goggles would have been required since near the beginning.
FURTHERMORE, if they were being serious about this, they would ALSO mandate that used PPE be placed in a BIOSAFETY bag/container for proper disposal.
Obviously, they are just winging it with HALF AZZED mandates, making stuff up as they go along.
This is just a continuation of a bureaucracy that's intent on harming Trump's re-election.
Almost sounds like the unelected expert has crossed into the Idol plane.
Saint Fauci. As if!
Fauxi is a 5-star General in Trey Billygoat Gates’ microSoftkill Army. The Commander-in-Chief of American EUGENICS should have a million needles stuck in him.
Fauci Goggles and Fauci Eye Shields will soon be available.

These aren’t Fauci goggles, but if you can’t wait ;-) such goggles are already on the market:

They do where viruses are actually dangerous.
The Left goes too far with everything. They get an inch and take a mile. They are sadistic!
My heart breaks for people still wearing masks in NJ.
This FRAUD MUST BE EXPOSED!
