Fauci rages at new face masks study as he urges Americans to prepare for new Covid surge (msn.com)
As new variants surface and hospitalizations increase, some experts are questioning if it's time to mask up again. Scientists from the American Council on Science and Health have warned that the virus is capable of mutating "at lightning speed," making a "late summer surge" very possible. According to a recent poll from Gallup, public confidence in the US healthcare system dropped from 44 percent last year to 34 percent this year - making experts question how many people would actually comply if masks were recommended again Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said to CNN: "I am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations."
Fauci added: "When you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level, particularly the vulnerable - those who are elderly and those with underlying conditions - are going to be more susceptible...and it will lead to hospitalizations. "If the CDC recommends that people wear masks, I would hope that they abide by the recommendation and take into account the risk to themselves and to their families. As a medical expert, I'll make my recommendations. If some people fail to act on them, I wash my hands of them. I can no longer make it my concern."
