Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn't get enough
- In an interview with the financial-news site TheStreet, Dr. Anthony Fauci said the public was initially told not to wear masks to stop COVID-19 because of shortages of PPE for doctors.
- He said the government's shift in advice was because of "changing circumstances" and new research.
- He denied that earlier advice against wearing a mask was a contradiction of the new policy.
- Fauci now advocates masks "unequivocally" as a complementary measure to social distancing.
