Fauci: Properly Worn Masks Are 85-90% Effective
Breitbart ^ | 04/26/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/26/2023 9:13:02 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former NIAID Director and White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday on “CNN This Morning” that properly worn masks are 85-90 % effective.

Partial transcript as follows:

KAITLAN COLLINS: Masking was probably one of the most divisive parts of COVID. I think whether or not people wore one, whether they had to wear one. A really striking comment that you made in this interview said “from a broad public health standpoint,” and I’m quoting you now, “at the population level, masks work at the margins, maybe 10%.” You once said a national mask mandate could work. That comment saying, you know, they work at the margins, maybe 10%, I think would raise a lot of eyebrows given so many people had to wear a mask, whether they were on a plane, whether they were in certain public facilities. To hear that they only work at the margins, maybe 10% would make a lot of people ask okay, then why was I wearing a mask for so many times?

FAUCI: You know, Kaitlan, we’ve got to be careful because if you read very carefully what I said, if you look at the broad public health effect, when you have masks that are so-called mandated or supposed to be worn. Because so many people don’t wear them, even though they’re in an arena in which masks are supposed to be worn or they don’t wear them properly. From a public health standpoint on the cohort of people, the effect can be only marginal. As we mentioned, it was ten, 13% or so.

Muzzles that comes from boxes that advise NOT FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS are efficacious....

But then CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about protecting public health, has it?

Yeah, Tony, if you wear sturdy mask like a reversed jock strap, it prevents the transmission of HIV/AIDS.

CDC study that masking groups had covid infections of about 11%. Masked groups had covid infections of about 12%.

Statistically no difference.

Masks less than an N95 are ineffective.

Expecting a massive population to wear masks “properly” is not realistic.

Someone should do a mash-up of all the various comments Fauci has made on mask effectiveness.

I bet it would be quite entertaining.

What does this even mean? Over what period of time?

Days? Hours? Minutes? Each instance?

Properly fitted N95 masks apparently can attain that level, but they require professional fitting and the high pressure drop makes them very uncomfortable to wear, especially for long periods.

The poorly fitting, leaky consumer paper masks are at best a wash and, at worst, collect filth that increases your chances of getting sick.

Not funding and directing GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH is proven to be 100% effective!

But how can you compare millions dead, a world economy destroyed, and millions more adversely affected by a mandated “vax” to all the “science” learned ?

Fauci, needs to be criminally prosecuted for crimes against humanity !

“Expecting a massive population to wear masks “properly” is not realistic.”

Especially when most people don’t want to wear them. And then you try to keep forcing it on them for two frickin years.

N95 masks properly worn do provide decent short term protection (about 15 minutes in close contact). The masks most people wore however, were basically useless and constantly reusing the same mask (even a N95) not only decreased it’s efficiency but was unhygienic.
