It might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think it is.
And often there are unintended consequences.
People keep fiddling with their masks.
They keep touching their face.
Just a few weeks later,
The CDC released its guidance recommending that Americans wear masks in public.
You were asked to explain your original recommendation.
You emphasized a very different consideration.
You said, well, back then the critical issue was to save the masks for the people who really needed them because it was felt there was a shortage of masks.
So I want everybody to sit with that.
The critical issue driving your initial recommendation to the American public was scarcity.
logistics, not medical evidence.
So when you told the American people there was no reason to wear a mask, what was your principal objective, giving them an honest assessment of the medical evidence or discouraging them from consuming a scarce supply of masks?
Well, unfortunately, that was just the beginning of a broader pattern.
Let's talk about the six foot distancing rule.
In April 5th, 2020, interview on CBS said, every time I get to that podium in the White House briefing room, I always essentially plead with people, please take a look at those very simple guidelines of physical separation.
And they're very, very clear, physically separate six feet away.
Yet when Congress finally asked you in 2024 what science supported that evidence, six foot distance rule for COVID, you admitted you were not aware of any studies supporting it.
Incredibly, you said the six foot rule sort of just appeared and described it as an empiric decision that wasn't based on data.
That rule had real consequences.
