ANTHONY FAUCI/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19: “I’d say listen to that instruction, listen to your governors, but I have to say the same people that say wear a mask are people that said, a long time ago, don’t wear a mask, masks are bad. They said they’re not good. So, you know, like Dr. Fauci, surgeon general, a lot of people — a lot of people — the surgeon general said that also…
And I don’t mind if people change their mind. I’m not holding it against Fauci or him or anybody else. I’m just saying that I’ve heard, you know, we started off with, ‘Don’t wear a mask.’ Then we come to, ‘Wear a mask…’ It is a political issue for a lot of people. It’s not a political issue for me. I would wear it, if I’m in contact with people, if I’m close to people.”
