Dr Fauci says people should wear goggles for COVID protection

  Way back when this whole COVID-19 pandemic first started I remember hearing reports about how the virus could be contracted through the eyes. Because of this face coverings were not recommended, but then something changed and the talk of the possibility of contracting COVID-19 through the eyes disappeared and face coverings became all the rage.

  But suddenly now the talk of contacting COVID-19 through the eyes is making a comeback and Doctor Fauci was asked about the possibility of mandating Americans to wear goggles when in public. Here is more:

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert and a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, said Wednesday that the U.S. could eventually reach a point where it recommends the use of eye goggles to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

During an interview with ABC News medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton, Fauci was asked whether the U.S. would one day recommend eye protection due to the pandemic. 

“You know, it might,” Fauci said, noting that it would offer an added layer of protection. 

“You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye,” he added. “Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces.” 

Fauci went on to say that if you have “goggles or an eye shield, you should use it.” While it’s not universally recommended, both goggles and a face covering would provide “complete” protection from the coronavirus, he said.

  Four months into a pandemic and now the good doctor is finally admitting what we heard in the beginning was true? An ineffectual cloth face covering is made even more ineffectual because it does not cover the eyes! Doctor Fauci, all the other doctors speaking out about wearing face coverings, the CDC, and the WHO had to have known this from the beginning and yet they pretended, and continue to pretend, that we are protecting ourselves.

  However, that is not even what I wanted to focus on in this post because Doctor Fauci went on to say something I found even more interesting which seems to have been missed by everybody.

“It’s just that it’s so easy for people to make a cloth mask,” Fauci said, referencing the public health guidance for Americans to wear face coverings in public settings to slow the spread of the virus. 

  That statement is stunning to me! He just admitted that the reason why public health guidelines recommend wearing a face covering is because it was so easy for people to make them, not that they are effective! In other words you are not protecting yourself or others but you will feel, and look, like you are. Plus it gave you a little project to do while you were under house arrest.
