Dr. Anthony Fauci said there was "nothing to worry about" in late February 2020 in regards to COVID-19 and it was "safe" to do things like go to the movies and the gym.
Short of that, Fauci says skip the masks unless you are contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products and certainly don't avoid Chinese people or restaurants.
One thing Fauci says will not protect you from getting sick is wearing a face mask.
"I think there's this misperception that wearing a mask, even if you were in an area where there was transmission, is going to absolutely protect you," Fauci said. "A mask is more appropriate for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else."
到了三月底，这老先生还在说：
"Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and a public face of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, on CBS’ “60 Minutes” earlier this month. He, like the others, suggested that masks could put users at risk by causing them to touch their face more often.

到了七月中旬，仍然坚持自己说的没错。
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said in an interview this week that he doesn’t regret any comments he made early on in the pandemic that may contradict his message now regarding widespread mask use to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.
