Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, appeared to support the idea of “double-masking,” or wearing two masks at once, during a Monday appearance on TODAY, telling anchor Savannah Guthrie that it “just makes common sense that it would likely be more effective.”
“A lot of folks are hearing now about double-masking — wearing two masks or try[ing] to get one of those N95 medical-grade masks. Do you believe that’s advisable and makes a difference?” Guthrie asked the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.
“You know, it likely does because I mean this is a physical covering to prevent droplets and virus to get in,” Fauci responded, appearing to condone the practice.
“So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it would likely be more effective and that’s the reason why you see people either double-masking or doing a version of an N95,” he added:
Fauci’s seeming support of double-masking, a practice recently promoted by the New York Times, follows remarks he made early in the pandemic, dismissing the need for universal masking.
“Right now, people should not be walking, there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,” he said in a 60 Minutes interview in March, suggesting that wearing a mask may provide more psychological relief than actual protection from the Wuhan virus.
“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,” Fauci said.

The guy has gone from no masks required to 1 mask required, now 2.....just crazy...
a plastic bag over your head is likely more effective still!
But what moron’s going to wear that!?
A plastic bag over his head with a zip tye makes sense
He has denigrated HydroxyC, and it has just been given the OK by a major medical mag. Trump can, if he wants, blame Democrats for the deaths of thousands.
Seems like the old military-style gas-mask would be the way to now go.
I saw a video last week...appeared to be a South Korean who’d designed some commercial use mask that you’d wear and replace the filters weekly....to cover the eyes, nose and mouth.
Maybe Dr. Fauci can recommend 300 masks? Cover his entire head in masks. A pattern of 20 masks, 15 layers deep.
That would probably be even more effective.
I would rather he be asked why he did not stop his Gain of Function research when Barack Obama told him to because the research was to dangerous,now this little Nazi is the highest paid Government worker after being responsible for millions of deaths
Must own stock in the mask supply chain.
Nazis choose which companies do well and which die - Keystone/gasoline cars.
If two masks are better, why not ten or twenty?
Heck, let’s go full hazmat suits for everyone, make that part of Biden’s Covid Policy..
He’s technically accurate, yet also utterly asinine to comment on it.
You open a window to let in fresh air.
If you want to keep flies and mosquitos out, you put in a screen.
If the gaps in your screen are too big, adding more screens may not help.
The COVID virus passes through cloth masks and the N95 mask.
Cause its a small virus.
Tossing a few virgins into a volcano makes more sense than anything Fauxi says.
Why didn’t President Trump fire this guy?
No need for science anymore, common sense has taken its place.
Why not 3 masks?
Fraudski needs to wear an N100 for O2 + N2 mask 24/7.
Just remember that he is the HIGHEST PAID GOVT> “worker”!! He makes $416,000.00 a year....more than the President and he hasn’t SOLVED ANY PROBLEM!!! he has HELPED CREATE THIS VIRUS!! WITH OUR MONEY SENT TO WUHAN LAB!!
Just no.
You have no understanding of the engineering and physics of masks
Start with einstein and robert brown
If you cant understand them then 3m has some good educational material that is easy to understand.
And yes..believe it or not..a rated .3. N95 mask is more effective at smaller partcles than the .3 rating
Again..einstein.
