Fauci Says ‘Possible’ CDC Will Recommend Americans Wear Two Masks To Protect Against COVID-19

"The chances are you're gonna' get an enhanced protection..."

Dr. Anthony Fauci says it’s “possible” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could recommend wearing two masks to stem the spread of COVID-19.

Fauci has previously suggested wearing two masks was preferable to one – although he later walked that back a bit. But in an appearance on The Washington Post Live on Tuesday, Fauci was asked if the CDC would issue guidance for all Americans to wear two masks.

“That’s possible,” said Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force and is now President Biden’s chief medical adviser on COVID-19.

“In fact, in discussions with my CDC colleagues yesterday, we were talking about how the CDC is looking at doing a study of seeing whether or not two masks are better than one. It makes common sense you would think,” he said. “If one mask serves as a physical barrier, if you put two on – if you’re looking for enhancing the physical barrier – it makes common sense that it certainly can’t hurt and might help.”

So far, though, there is a lack of data on whether two is better than one, Fauci said.

He wants to be sure he has enough for himself.

Anybody please message me when the CDC also recommends taking vitamins D3 and zinc dietary supplements to help protect against COVID-19.

That was not a very scientific answer!

I will not wear two.

Two mask rule....

If we agree to wear one mask, when we are grabbed and beaten by officers and shoved into a van on the way to jail, does it mean we will have to serve 50% of the sentence because we were half in compliance? Wonder.

We are entering the twilight zone. The spikes didn’t happen because people only used one mask. They occurred because lots of people got together in close quarters for parties and such. And if people are already ignoring the existing advice, what’s the point of more? Just to hear himself talk?

That’s recommended if she is also a double bagger.

I don't think it's "two masks" as much as two (or more) layers. The "medical" style masks are 3 layers whereas a cloth facial covering is just one.

I suspect the anti-maskers are deliberately misreporting.

multimask option on Fauci....

Except the famous photo shows him without the mask so he could breathe easily and relax at the stadium outdoors.

Unlike his lowly, worthless peasant subjects (the American people).

What we need to do is drill holes in the top of people’s heads. That way, they would inhale air from above them and exhale air away from other peoples faces.

Sort of like a whales blowhole.

Oh good Lord what a waste of time and money.

This is pure ego because he made a stupid comment on tv which was criticized.
