Fauci changes tune, says second COVID-19 wave may never happen — mask-wearing is symbolic

Somebody needs to throw this little piece of bait in the bayou....he wrecked this Country and is now taunting the rest of us.

---

mask is largely symbolic at this point.

Reopening the economy in the face of an overreaction shows respect for people and their livlihoods, too. Let's focus on that.

He's just covering all the bases at this point so in the fall no one can claim he was wrong.

Give him 2 months and the 2nd wave will be imminent and wearing any type of facial covering will 100% protect you from catching the covid.

He didn’t say mask wearing is symbolic.

Some people just can't help themselves.

Cenitnel will run with the made up quote, no doubt.

Such a hack job of an article and a post by you. From your link, he previously said the virus will return in the fall. Now he's saying we don't have to accept a 2nd outbreak/wave as inevitable because:

Fauci admitted that he is beginning to feel more and more optimistic as days go by, and insists that the U.S.'s expanded capability for testing is bolstering the COVID-19 response.

He pointed out that a second wave is entirely preventable if the U.S. is able to have the "workforce, the system, and the will to do the kinds of things that are the clear and effective identification, isolation, and contact tracing."

---

There is a difference between the virus still being around and a full blown second wave or outbreak. He's saying we don't have to accept a second spike in cases/deaths if we do the things we need to do to minimize risks.

And you conveniently left out the rest of his point about masks:

quote:

---

Fauci also said that Americans should wear face masks in public to protect themselves — but also to get into good practices.

"I want to protect myself and protect others [by mask-wearing], and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that's the kind of thing you should be doing," he added.

During the interview, the infections diseases expert also admitted that wearing a mask is not 100% effective, but says that it is a gesture that shows "respect" for other people.
