Michael Osterholm, who was a member of the Biden Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board, gave a second opinion after Dr. Anthony Fauci said last week that doubling up on face masks “likely” provides more protection than wearing just one mask.
"When we talk about double masking, remember what we're really talking about is just trying to prevent the virus from being excreted by me into the air or me inhaling the virus from someone else in the air, and it's both a function of face fit and face filtration," Osterholm said during an interview Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.
If you add on another mask, you may actually make it tougher for the air to move through the two-cloth area, and then at that point, it causes more air to actually leak around the sides, which actually enhances your ability to get infected," Osterholm said.

A stout close-pin snapping shut your snout, and at least two, three would be better for heavy breathers, menstrual pads over your mouth. I am so done with screwball half-measures.

Yes, Fauci goes way back 40 years. I just did a search to confirm, but it was a CNN journalist that degraded Fauci to holdover from the Trump administration.
It was in response to Fauci saying the Biden administration was not starting from scratch on the vaccine like they claimed.

That just proves that Fauci is insane. Everyone knows that work on the vaccine began 11 days ago on the afternoon of January 20th. It was finished on the 24th and completely distributed by end of work Jan. 27th.

Smart girl there. That’s more than enough air to go grocery shopping.
Careful when you step out the door if it’s windy.

For any man wearing two masks I have this question:
Do you wear two condoms?
To: caww
I think that Fauxi's line of 'thinking' was that far to many people WEREN'T wearing masks so if he suggested 2 or 3, the sheep would fall in just showing how vulnerable they really are while - in the typical 'LIB'think - those that weren't wearing one would now don one and refuse to wear 2 of them but more people would fall in line and wear one.
I still say that if you are masking up to 'protect' me than what are you proving by trapping your own exhale/snot/spit etc etc and rebreathing it????

I witnessed a first, the other day.
I saw a guy riding a motorcycle, wearing a helmet with a clear shield (or, whatever that’s called, on a motorcycle helmet).....and.....wearing a mask 🙃
