Fauci went on to confess that virus particles are much smaller than the gaps in masks, the types of masks we’ve been told by governments (mostly Democrat) and businesses we must wear to stop the virus . . . or something.
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you.”
Of course, this was early in the so-called pandemic when we were told: “15-days to slow the spread” and was consistent with Fauci’s early messaging to Americans in March of 2020 when he advised against face masks for healthy individuals.
So while Fauci has flip-flopped on mask-wearing several times over the past 15 months, a recent scientific study concluded that masks are a placebo at best:

Fauci says they are useless.
The mask manufacturers say they are useless (on the box: “not for medical use”).
I guess that’s why they were mandated.
If government tells me to wear a mask, I won’t. If they say “all is clear” and take the mask off, I’ll buy a gross of new ones.
This clown has such a document record of failure that he could almost be a CNN “talent”. And remember, some med school actually let him through. Must have been “stupid quotas” back then. Pretty standard now in a good many law schools, more many lib arts schools, and total requirement in state department schools.
The 15 days was to ensure our medical systems were not overwhelmed. Remember the panic from Cuomo and other Democrats? Remember Trump sending a military medical ship and setting up tent hospitals that were never used based on Democratic governor’s hysteria?
Once we were past that initial surge, there was nothing left to do but open up. Trump followed bad advice.
Yes, the loyal communist media was going to keep a running ticker of deaths and then number of positive tests to damage Trump’s re-election chances, but the nation would not have been so horribly wounded.
20-20 hindsight says it would have been better to do the right thing than the political thing. Unfortunately, Trump went along with the political thing.
“... virus particles are much smaller than the gaps in masks...”
There are no masks for the public that are not porous. Even the n95, so highly recommended, is not designed to stop virus. If someone coughs, sneezes or expels moisture from themselves on to your mask, you have a wet area of virus spreading toward you. It’s through as soon as you inhale.
I used to work for disaster prep for the military and an example of an uneducated fact is that the most used mask in the military for many years was the M17 and M17A1. They couldn’t even hold out chlorine gas which is the main product in the mustard gas used in WW 1. So the only way to keep out virus is by wearing a hazmat suit using a self contained breathing apparatus, SCBA, all the time. Fat chance of that happening as you can’t find them and they cost about the same price as a Buick as the cost of a full protective suit, according to OSHA, starts at $61.48 on Amazon. And you will be getting a used one with that. However the cost of proper training and observation by gowning experts would add more. Add to that practice runs and Contamination Event Recovery Plans (CERPs) and the expenses mount. And you haven’t been taught how to clean for reuse. And even if you can find a military mask in the army navy stores, the filters will be out of service or gone altogether. So much for masks as they will accomplish less than nothing, especially with something as small as a virus. And thanks to the media, people bought into this and still are.

Remember Trump wanted to open up at Easter. Then Cuomo and the Governors said you’re not a king, we’re keeping our states closed.
