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.

No mask on earth will protect you from a virus.
Thank you.

Pathological Liar.
I wouldn’t hire someone who showed up to an interview wearing a stupid face diaper. I’m glad the potential “problem hires” have developed this natural “red flag” warning sign for the rest of us.
“Expecting a massive population to wear masks “properly” is not realistic.”
When COVID first came out and everyone had to wear masks, I had to go to the doc. While waiting, I watched both patients waiting and staff wearing all sorts of masks, from paper surgical to homemade to N95 masks. It wasn’t long to see people touching, removing and rubbing their noses, mouths etc without washing hands.
And the staff was just as bad.
From then on I figured it was just a joke.
Btw, I got COVID twice and it was no big deal.
That would be a good mix.
Yup. Those of us who wear PPE as part of our job descriptions know the “SCIENCE!”
A full-sealing military type gas mask would be effective. Nothing else would.
“Fauci, needs to be criminally prosecuted for crimes against humanity !“
Or considered a target of opportunity, should the opportunity arise. An “accident” would be appropriate.
The majority of fatal infections are contracted in our medical systems thanks to poor hygiene, incompetent cleaning and human error.
If the healthcare system cannot contain bacteria and viruses under controlled conditions, it is unrealistic to expect the general population to do any better.
I agree..
