Reason being so that the people in the hospital on the front lines with Covid would have enough masks.
Masks supplies are not high in stock for the whole nation, if everyone tries to get a hold of a mask then there will be big shortages that will affect front line workers and put them in jeopardy.
If hospital workers are all sick and dying then everyone is screwed.
Him saying that was just to buy some time so masks could be produced.
At least that’s how I understand it.
He didn’t mean in the sense that they were useless, it was just to have enough for hospital workers before more were mass produced.
Him just lying about it is weird tho right? Couldn’t he have just told the truth and said we’re short on masks and we need them for healthcare workers?
Israel reportedly hasn't dealt with a hospitalizations surge
We just need more people vaccinated more than we need vaccinated people to go back into a shell

Lying is what these people do
waiting for the omega variant
might not be far there's already a Delta-Plus variant
I agree and yea the medical grade N-95 masks can be effective to some degree but I'm specifically talking about the people who use the thin fabric ones "because it's too hot to wear a different one" or "wear a mask" but still have their nose sticking out or wear it as a chinstrap
the worst s*** is those people who lower the mask to talk.
Yo if you’re not vaccinated stop f***ing around man and get that s***
Nah I’m vaccinated and I respect if you don’t want to if you don’t feel like it, I just won’t feel bad if you get sick from covid
Honestly the only people that should be unvaccinated rn are like immigrants and foreigners that don’t have the information or know resources
If you’re an English speaking person living in the US there is absolutely no excuse
My state has been doing good as far as Vax levels and our 7 day average is under 100 cases, but if still wearing a mask stops this variant then I'll keep it on

Yeah I get that, but I honestly feel like that was the most abhorrent way to go about it. I think he should've said openly and honestly that masks are shown to be effective in preventing the spread/catching of the virus (because they are), but that the supply of masks is low and it's critically important that the masks currently available go to frontline workers while the supply is increased. And that in the meantime we can do actions 1, 2, and/or 3 to increase our level of safety. Had he said this, and people decided to be selfish and hoard masks anyway, that's on American selfishness, not him.
Instead this man who was propped up as the expert the entire country should listen to told the country that masks weren't necessary or effective in the earliest days of the virus being known to be in the country. While KNOWING the opposite to be true. That man decided to play God with people's lives and the virus went rampant in the country as a result. And then when his and other "expert's" tunes changed, people were way more hesitant to use one than they would've been otherwise.
I wrapped a play 3 days before the first shutdown, was delivering people's groceries and food through doordash and Instacart, and have since gotten work as a bartender. And my immediate circle of family consists of a nurse, 2 warehouse workers and a mechanic + uhaul worker. My mom caught the virus EARLY on, and it's highkey a f***ing miracle that we're all good today.
And then recently that man lied to the public about the Gain of Function s***, while being the decider or primary decider on which labs get funding. And if we don't believe Fauci, we apparently "hate science" or whatever that b**** said. F*** Fauci. On God, I'd spit on that b****.
i’m not wearing a f***ing mask again
that's if we don't have another one in the future...
