So your first takeaway is that masks work. You're pumping the guy who flip flopped and said said they didn't then they did. And that's your a rebuttal in a thread about how Fauci is a flip flopper. No he's not, masks work!
I believe Fauci said that masks don't prevent you from getting COVID, which I think is still largely correct. But they do slow the spread, which we now have data to support. That data was present at the beginning of the pandemic.
"There's
no reason to be walking around with a mask," Fauci told CBSNews’ 60 Minutes in a March 8 interview with chief medical correspondent for CBS News Dr. Jon LaPook.
“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing
a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often,
there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face,”
