He could have told us to wear anything over our faces at the beginning. I know all about saving masks for the essential workers but he could have told us to make cloth ones like we started doing in March but he didn't. That cost thousands their lives.

Other countries all over the world have had national leadership to pull together and address this terrifying pandemic and have made progress. The one remaining "super power" has yet to address this after the better part of a year and hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have had no national leadership and still don't, it has inexplicably become a political "opinion," resulting in dissension (when we should have been pulling together) and more deaths in the future - which is absolutely inexcusable. I can't even imagine what history will make of this unforgivable tragedy.

to make our world a better place, he is a hero, but he came off in the Haye's interview as being intimidated by Trump. Chris must have thought the same thing because he actually asked Fauci that question.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fauci-says-he-doesnt-regret-telling-americans-not-to-wear-masks-at-the-beginning-of-the-pandemic/ar-BB16P84e Fauci was very wishy-washy early on when masks were known to cut transmission of COVID. Trump was beating on him and he folded. Fauchi has come around, but as a physician, his science was deeply flawed early on in regards to this virus. LOGIC told me in February something was amiss. During flu season I have always worn a mask for the last 10 or so years from Fall all the way through to Spring when I saw people were coughing less etc. Flu is a virus, COVID is a virus. Mask on.

He should regret what he said. He helped trump murder people, maybe unintentionally, but trump said no masks and he parroted him. Nah, I trust Fauchi as far as I can throw him. WHO, CDC, they really tried. I bet the internal discussions in those organizations were heated especially with the 'leader of the free world', saying no masks were necessary. Yet they will be on the right side of history when this pandemic is brought under control with steady leadership after January 20th, I think.
