The video reeks of his arrogance
From article
As of 2020, there was data indicating that you didn’t need to have a mask,” Fauci said in a recent interview. “The data being that there’s no evidence that they protect outside of the hospital. There’s very little infection transmitted asymptomatically. We have a shortage of masks. The data were misleading, but they were there. And they misled me.”
“If I were an infallible person, I would’ve said wear a mask anyway,” he added. “Even if we don’t know those things, maybe I should have done that, but I was not acting on that kind of instinct.”
“Yeah, I was wrong,” he said. “Yeah.”

Some people are misunderstanding what he’s saying. He’s doubling down on masks here. To paraphrase, he’s saying that when the pandemic started and he said people shouldn’t wear masks outside of a hospital setting that he was wrong and misled by research that showed it doesn’t help. This was before he switched positions and told everyone to wear them. That’s why he says that if he were infallible (doesn’t make mistakes) he would have told everyone to mask up anyway despite the data.
Some people are reading this thinking he’s admitting masks are useless and claiming that he was misled into recommending them.
I learned a long time ago that many people don't even bother to read the articles attached to a post. They just read the headline and then jump right into the deep end of the pool with their opinions.
Even the people posting the articles don't bother to read them. They're just repeating what someone else told them it said.

It's really sad and frustrating. Especially when it happens here, with people who are supposed to be so good at researching things and seeing through BS.
