Fauci is in complete denial of the inefficacy of masking the population at large to prevent disease spread. Fauci answers a question from Staley about face masks with a question “Should we have been wearing masks from the very first weeks when we had ten people infected and one person died?” He answers his own question, “Knowing what we know now, if we had known it then the answer would have been absolutely yes.” This despite thorough studies both before, and during the pandemic, that masks had no significant impact on the spread of airborne diseases such as influenza and Covid.
But it gets better (or worse, depending on your viewpoint). Fauci is also in almost complete denial about the tremendous harms to the health and well-being of millions of children and adults due to the lockdowns he promoted, and he states that we should have locked down sooner:
“Let’s turn back the clock in January of 2020 where we had very few cases,” Facui told Staley, “They were just cropping up – the Washington case, and then some cases in New York. We weren’t exploding yet. If I had said we’d better shut down right now because this is an insidious virus that’s spreading widely without our knowing about it, do you think that would have been accepted by society? They would have laughed at us for that, but quite frankly, that was the right thing to do back then.”
In an interview with Fox News, Neal Cavuto asked Dr. Fauci, “In retrospect doctor, do you regret that it went too far?…Particularly for kids who couldn’t go to school except remotely, that it’s forever damaged them.”
Fauci replied, “Well, I don’t think it’s forever irreparably damaged anyone.”
