>In the linked article...on 1/11/2020, China released the COVID-19 genetic sequence to the world...two days later the NIAID (part of NIH and Dr. Fauci's department responsibility) disclosed their intent to run a Phase 1 study on Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine, which had just been designed...Dr. Fauci (not Donald Trump) was 'Warp Speeding' the development of what would soon become an excellent vaccine...outstanding leadership on his part.
>On Feb. 7, 2020, CNN ran an article saying that stores were running out of face masks and that it was essentially "impossible" to get them anywhere in the world (esp. China)...
>On March 8, Dr. Fauci made a statement that average citizens did not need to wear face masks...because...
1) It was not known at that time that COVID could be spread by asymptomatic infected persons...a critical factor not known until the end of March, 2020, when CDC changed guidance on masks
2) Health Care professionals desperately needed what masks were available...and that was the closing remark in that interview.
>Since the CDC change in late March, 2020, Dr. Fauci has been totally consistent wrt the effectiveness and usefulness of face masks...not so with your chosen leader, Donald Trump.
Why you shill for someone (Donald Trump) who violates every moral and ethical standard you purport to hold is mind-boggling...maybe you could take some time to explain that, rather than rail against a truly ethical medical professional who has dedicated his career to saving lives from viruses...and been exceptionally successful at it...perhaps you are much more interested in politics as opposed to medicine.
