Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases official, said Friday that President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 “superspreader event” at the White House is all the proof you need that masks work. Fauci, one of the lead member’s of Trump’s coronavirus task force, spoke candidly about the issue in an interview with CBS News Radio. “I think the the data speak for themselves,” Fauci said when host Steven Portnoy noted that Trump and his aides have not, until very recently, been seen wearing masks in public regularly. “We had a superspreader event in the White House, and it was in a situation where people were crowded together without wearing masks,” Fauci continued. “So, let the data speak for themselves.”
