COMMENTARY: Flashback: 1 Year Ago Fauci Said ‘People Should Not Be Walking Around with Masks’

He hasn’t had a consistent position since the pandemic started.

Last month, Dr. 👤Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to the President, told NBC News’ “TODAY” that double-masking is “common-sense.”

Fauci clarified the next week, telling MSNBC, “There’s no recommendation, however, there are many people who take the common-sense approach.”

He continued, “When the science comes along and tells us that is better or not, then you will see a recommendation being made by the CDC.”

An ironic statement from the doctor, considering he certainly didn’t take this “science alone” path when the coronavirus pandemic began. In fact, it was one year ago today that Fauci explained his then-current position.

In an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” Fauci said, “Masks are important for someone who’s infected, to prevent them from infecting someone else.”
