Here is Fauci's job descriptions:
Dr. Fauci was appointed Director of NIAID in 1984. He oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, etc.
Since pandemics from viruses have occurred through out recorded history, why is it that in 2020 the highest paid US government employee with a tenure of almost 40 years did not have a clue about the effectiveness of cloth masks? Have we not been using masks in the medical field for decades?
I am not anti mask on a limited basis but the flip flop on policy was not based primarily on "Science" unless you are talking about political science.
And for the Fauci faithful out there, which prior health crisis out there has he done a superb job on?

See previous post with email. He obviously was
100% correct about the efficacy of masks. And yes, we have used paper masks for decades---TO PROTECT THE PATIENT, NOT OURSELVES!. We use a completely different set of PPE when dealing with something that we could catch, like meningococcus.
And while on the subject, there have been any number of posters that are piling on Tony Fauci like he is the bad guy. To all of you that think that, you have no idea what you are talking about, and I don't care what you read on which conspiracy web site. Do you know him? Have you had dinner with him several times? Have you talked with him for an hour or two? If not, you need to zip it. If you had, you would have a better idea of what Tony is all about.
