No one, literally no one is covering up that he said that, including Fauci himself. He has stated many times that there were two reasons people weren't asked to wear masks initially. Since you seemed to have missed it, I'll repeat it for you here. First, there was ZERO data in at the beginning about whether or not average surgical and other type masks stopped or slowed the spread of covid. There was no data either way-for nor against mask wearing. However, there was data to show that some masks, specifically N95 masks, did inhibit the transmission of some viruses in hospital settings. Which brings us to the second point. Even though it made sense that masks would help stop the spread of a virus, even a new, unstudied, virus, the US relied 100% on china for it's current supply of N95 masks for hospital workers, and if any group of people NEEDED to wear masks, it was Frontline workers. There were tens if thousands of Frontline workers that quit while having access to masks --So, imagine how many would've quit if they didn't have access to masks. We saw what happened with toilet paper --Many Americans bought enough TP to last their household for over a year! Now, imagine if the CDC or Fauci had said, "We don't have the data to show that mask-wearing if the general population does or does't help, but it wouldn't hurt to wear one until we do have that data in.". Well, you KNOW how the public would have reacted, and masks wouldn't be available for our, OUR, fronting healthcare workers. Everything I've said us also in line with what the WHO was saying at that time. AS SOON AS the WHO had compiled just some data showing masks did help stop an infected person from spreading the virus molecules through talking, sneezing and coughing, they passed the data (even though it was still limited) along to our CDC, as well as, other countries' CDC equivalents. Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and the like STILL had trouble issuing masks to employees that NEEDED them - it would have helped if the Trump administration had stocked more in our federal reserves.
So, now you know WHY the public was not initially told to go out and buy masks to wear-- although, I suspect that you already knew everything I've stated. You should go back to ALL of the Fox hosts' segments that talked about masks, ESPECIALLY Tucker's. There you'll see that Fox's hosts have all flip-flopped on the topic of mask wearing nearly a HUNDRED times EACH. I will simply never understand why it was so damned hard for some people (and 70-80% of fox viewers) to simply put on a mask. I'd think that just the fact that being able to thwart facial recognition cameras alone would have been enough for Faux Noise's viewers to take cover. I've travelled the world, extensively, for the past 34yrs, and those cameras are EVERYWHERE. Don't kid yourself that the USA doesn't have them because we do. They may not be as plentiful as they are in, say, London, UK, but we definitely have them. But, I digress...
