So-called expert Faltering Fauci urges Americans to wear goggles for added COVID-19 protection


First you don't have to wear a mask. 
Then wearing a mask is oaky.  Now, we also need to wear goggles or face shields?  Dr. Fauci, the so-called expert, has making this up as he go along.  Why didn't he come up with this back in February? 
NY Post reports Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that people wear goggles or face shields as an added measure of protection against contracting the coronavirus, according to a report.

“If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” Fauci, 79, the top US infectious disease expert, told ABC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton on Wednesday.

When asked if eye protection will become a formal recommendation at some point, he said, “It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces.”

Fauci, a member of the White House pandemic task force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explained the rationale for the measure.

“You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye,” he said. “Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye shield you should use it.”

  1. Yeah; this is in response to the GOBS of people who have been saying "Yeah, the mask covers your face and nose, but does nothing about "droplets" landing on the eyes!" So he just keeps on building the story, and building... and building... Pretty soon he'll have us in hazmat suits to protect us from "the invisible enemy..." ...while we're buying a gallon of milk...

    ...Such crap... Such total crap...

  2. What I don't understand is the masks and face coverings we are now wearing do not protect us, they protect others, so our own respiratory tract is vulnerable to this virus even when we are masked...so if our respiratory tract is unprotected, is there any sense in protecting our eyes? Wouldn't a better option be to get N95 masks to the people so everyone is protected and other are protected too. For Pete's sake, get us the correct protective masks. N95 masks are soft and easy to apply, many don't have valves and look like "cup shaped masks" - so why aren't we getting the right protective masks to wear? An unprotected respiratory system and protected eyes isn't going to help.

  4. Huh? So you can wear a porous scarf over your mouth and nose that obviously lets the virus in BUT you have to cover your eyes with goggles? Does that make any sense?
