    In a March 8, 2020, interview, Fauci stated that “right now in the United States, people [who are not infected] should not be walking around with masks”, but “if you want to do it, that’s fine”. In the same interview, Fauci said that buying masks “could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need” them: “When you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them”

    Yikes. Apparently he did gaslight people in the time between stating his position and then explaining it.

    What really happened was bad actors circulated edited clips of this video, out of context, around Facebook and other social media sites. Lots of folks, apparently you included, ate it up and have been happy customers at the propaganda buffet ever since.

      Do you seriously fail to underatand how communicating in a way that’s not easy to misconstrue, and especially not clipchimp these days, is THE ENTITE POINT of his fucking job, then I am stumped.

      You literally do not understand professional communication if you’re just going to excuse failing to be a pro. Yes, it’s NOT easy. That’s why it’s a damn well paid job. Stop making excuses for people paid far more than their performance.

          You realize he fed in to that information distortion, right?

          Holy fuck you’re too dumb. You see information distortion, you refuse to disagree that he failed to do a good job. You just fail to realize how terrible of a job he did. Pitiful. You blind yourself.
