In April Faucci says... Don't wear masks...
"There's no reason to be walking around with a mask," infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told 60 Minutes.
While masks may block some droplets, Fauci said, they do not provide the level of protection people think they do. Wearing a mask may also have unintended consequences: People who wear masks tend to touch their face more often to adjust them, which can spread germs from their hands.
So did the "science on face masks" change in a couple months time?

Now, we all must wear a mask...
This is why I have trust issues with anything government appointment driven, and all things political in general. Seems like the science is being made to fit the politics, and not the other way around.
FWIW, I have been wearing a mask in public since March, and will continue to do so despite the flip flops. I have also learned to take all these "scientific facts" - "statistics modeling" - "expert medical recommendations" with a grain of salt at this point... all of it has been wrong, way off. or contradictory at some level, and at some point up to now.
