Fauci's flip-flops: How 'America’s Doctor' has repeatedly reversed himself during Covid crisis

The reopening of schools, Fauci emphasized, could be accomplished with little risk.

"The schools really do need more resources," Fauci told George Stephanopoulos on Feb. 14.

"The schools need more resources." Fauci's flip-flop on school reopenings is just one of many very public reversals the public health official has performed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fauci in July had claimed that human T cells have the potential for "Preventing the cells that are infected from making new viruses," perhaps stemming from "Memory from other coronaviruses that are benign [such as] cold viruses." Yet by the time he appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee in September, Fauci had apparently decided that theory had no merit.

On masks, Fauci famously went against his own initial advice Perhaps most notably over the course of the pandemic, Fauci did a near-complete reversal on the subject of face coverings, becoming seemingly all at once one of the biggest champions of masks in the country.

"There's no reason to be walking around with a mask," Fauci said in early March of last year.

Though the doctor claimed that "Recent information" on asymptomatic spread had impelled his flip-flop on the masking issue, Fauci himself had claimed as early as January 2020 to have been aware of asymptomatic spread of COVID-19.
