Fauci did knowingly mislead the public. Instead of telling us, honestly, that we didn't have enough initial PPE to protect both medical workers and the masses and that those not in healthcare settings should only use the sort of homemade cloth face masks that successfully protected many of us as the pandemic went on, Fauci simply lied to us, assuming that his overnight 180 wouldn't erode public trust in his credibility.
The government treated the people like children. It seems a portion of the population is ok with that.

Actually, we did have enough. We had more than enough, and the manufacturers would've had no problem keeping up with demand. EXCEPT - hoarders gonna hoard. People were grabbing dozens of boxes off the shelves before the stores could say "only two boxes per customer." I worked at Publix when the mask stuff started, and I watched these people emptying out our store of masks, gloves, rubbing alcohol, aloe vera, chlorox, toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, ammonia, and every variety of Lysol product that we sold.
Then you could go on e-bay and Amazon and find out that individuals who'd hoarded it all, were reselling it for a premium. $100 for a box of nitrile gloves that sold for less than $12 in the pharmacy section of the supermarket.
But yeah - we had enough. We also had greedy people that Fauci hadn't counted on. He should have expected that human beings would be insensitive, uncaring, greedy animals whenever there's a crisis.
