20 years ago. But still, just about anyone would have done a better job than Trump has with this pandemic. He continues to bungle the nation’s response every single day.
Wasn’t there an important distinction there? At the time the N95 masks were in short supply. Was Fauci trying to preserve what was available for medical professionals?
Just curious whether you and others are conflating the N95s with cloth masks.
“When you think of masks, you should think of healthcare providers wearing them.” - Fauci
He could have been much more proactive about people wearing cloth masks, and less confusing in his dismissal of mask effectiveness. But I read that above declaration to refer exclusively to medical grade/N95 masks, which were in short supply at the time. I certainly wouldn’t conflate that with a cloth mask, which wouldn’t be effective for medical professionals.
I see where there’s confusion, but to allege that Fauci lied? Horse hockey.
