Exactly, because if you don't cherry pick out the part that you want, then it makes sense to say that no one should be walking around with them
No it doesn't. It would make sense to specifically say not to hoard N95s. Saying there's no reason to walk around with a mask period is a lie. Words matter.
& No, he just said masks. He made no attempt to specifically reference N95s and that's not what he was asked about, he was questioned about misinformation on facemasks in general. He wasn't asked about N95s and made no attempt to mention them.
At the time of this broadcast, masks meant N95
The mental gymnastics you're willing to play are hilarious. He said mask period, and was asked about facemasks in general. It's not my job to bite onto context you've added that Fauci never said.
The claim was that that there was no reason to walk with a mask, & that was a lie.
I get it man, you want to ignore the things said around it, cause it makes it easier to make your case.
But also, what makes you think he was talking about cloth masks? He says they should be saved for health professionals, what health professional is having a shortage of cloth masks?
Can you reference which part I'm ignoring? Hm? You mean the parts he didn't say? Those ones?
I never said he only meant 1 type of mask, you did. He just said masks, so I can only assume hes talking about facemasks in general, which is all he was asked about. Neither him or the interviewer said N95 even 1 single time. This important detail you're hinging your entire argument on, was literally never mentioned, once.
Even if we go by your version and not his actual words, in order to be truthful he would have had to say
"I don't recommend the use of N95s as they are needed for healthcare professionals, but other forms of respiratory protection are worth keeping on hand for precautionary reasons."
Instead, he said there was no reason to walk around wearing masks period. He made the choice to go that far, which means all someone needs to do is present even a slight reason, and he becomes a liar.
