March 2021, he reiterated cdc claim that fully vaccinated people did not need to wear masks which was also incorrect as vaccinated people were becoming infected as well.

No, he knew it was airborne and admitted so in order to keep mask for healthcare workers. The science was already known on that issue.

Then why did he want the mask for only some people if he didn’t think it was needed?

We saw this early on when he said high-quality masks wouldn't work, when in reality he didn't want people buying them out. And we saw it later with talk about vaccine-induced herd immunity thresholds, which he later acknowledged was carefully tailored to encourage vaccination.

Not the first time either. He initially thought AIDS was spread by close family contact.

Yes, too slow to advocate masking. Ironically the right thinks it vindicates their "absolutely no restrictions whatsoever" position.

One problem is that the right-wing disinformation peddlers have convinced it was a battle between "no lockdowns" and "zero covid." Fauci was never a hard-liner on restrictions, but the right demonizes him as a"zero covid zealot."

Ah, here is the context. It is definitely a Trump talking point.

The left wingers would not stand for a lockdown now so don’t say this is a right wing issue. My most liberal friend was the absolute worst offender during lockdown.

The two can be true at the same time.

1) He didn't want panic buying and

2) They also didn't know at the time how many were asymptomatic and spreading

But that requires naunced understanding.

Basically everything. Most of all school closures. Everything he did was useless (we have all gotten Covid), and came at tremendous societal expense.

I was a fan until his dishonesty became too much. Nothing he said was the right thing.
