"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. I do not recommend that you wear a mask." - Dr. Anthony Fauci
Review:
Dr Fauci advised against mask wearing for general public at the beginning when medical personnel had a dangerous shortage of ppe. The Trump administration was not prepared for the pandemic and ppe was in short supply.
Review:
"The claim that an email from Fauci proves he knew masks were ineffective at mitigating the spread of COVID-19 is MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research. Fauci sent the email on Feb. 5, 2020, more than a month before the WHO declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic." source:
Review:
The quote is from an email in the first few months of the pandemic and Fauci has issued more recent and informed statements condoning masks
