PolitiFact | A social media post using old Fauci email falsely claims that Fauci ‘lied’ about mask wearing
What was happening thenIt’s important to remember the time frame around when Fauci sent the email. It was two weeks after the first U.S. coronavirus case was announced in Washington state, on Jan. 21, 2020, and five weeks after China confirmed the existence of a new virus. The World Health Organization didn’t declare COVID-19 a pandemic until March 11. It’s also important to acknowledge that guidance on mask wearing changed over time. Early in the coronavirus outbreak, guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said people shouldn’t wear face masks unless they had COVID-19 and were showing symptoms. "This is to protect others from the risk of getting infected," the guidance stated. Mask-wearing was discouraged because officials said masks had little value in preventing the general public from contracting the disease. That changed on April 3, 2020, when the CDC recommended wearing masks in public places where social distancing can be difficult. Officials at the time cited clearer findings that showed the virus could be transmitted by people who showed no symptoms. Fauci also changed his guidance, and began recommending masks be worn. On the day the CDC announced its change, he said of mask wearing: "If everybody does that, we’re each protecting each other." Masks’ effectivenessBy mid-March 2021, with masks a part of daily life, PolitiFact found that the research was clear that masks work. They are most effective as "source control," which means preventing infected people from spreading the virus to other people. While masks cannot block some very tiny coronavirus particles that are in the air, multiple systematic reviews, ecological studies and laboratory studies have shown that masks reduce the spread of COVID-19. The advice to wear masks remained in force, even for people who were vaccinated, until mid-May 2021. Amid widespread use of vaccines and falling case counts, federal health officials revised the guidance again, saying that "fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing," except in places such as airports where required by government regulations. Our rulingA widely shared Instagram post said that an email from Dr. Anthony Fauci shows "everyone was lied to" about wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The post cites an email Fauci sent Feb. 5, 2020, when the consensus among public health experts was for people generally not to wear masks unless they had symptoms of illness. At the time, researchers did not know that people without symptoms were spreading the virus. The guidance from Fauci and other experts changed in April 2020, as more evidence about the virus and its transmission emerged, and mask wearing was widely recommended. We rate the post False.

I'll just never understand some people and their obsessive and stubborn ways of trying to validate their ignorance when they don't agree with something medical or scientific. Its Dark Ages stuff. Social media is insidious and toxic for most, but especially the gullible.
