However, he emphasized that there would not be federal mandates in\u200b place.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d an appearance on ABC&#8217;s This Week, Fauci expressed \u200chis doubt \u200cabout the implementation of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hasidic-jewish-family-booted-from-frontier-airlines-flight-allegedly-over-maskless-baby\/\" title=\"Hasidic Jewish Family Booted From Frontier Airlines Flight Allegedly Over Maskless Baby\">federal mask mandate<\/a>.\u200b He told Jon Karl, &#8220;I would be extremely surprised if a federal mask mandate were put in place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I can see that if we get a significant uptick in cases that you may see the recommendation that masks\u200c be used \u2064under certain circumstances\u2062 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hes-really-good-at-holding-his-breath-cruz-drags-la-mayor-garcetti-going-maskless-at-super-bowl\/\" title=\"\u2018He\u2019s Really Good At Holding His Breath\u2019: Cruz Drags LA Mayor Garcetti Going Maskless At Super Bowl\">indoor crowded settings<\/a>, but I don&#8217;t\u2062 see there&#8217;d be certainly not federal mandates,&#8221;\u2063 he \u2064said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There may\u2062 be local\u2062 organizations that may require masks, but \u2063I \u2062think what we&#8217;re gonna \u2064see mostly are, if the cases go up that there might be recommendations, not mandates. There&#8217;s a big difference there,&#8221; Fauci continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Karl\u2062 also questioned Fauci about the\u2062 effectiveness of masking in retrospect, referring to new studies suggesting that\u2062 masking \u2063may not \u2063have been effective in\u2063 containing\u2063 the COVID-19\u2063 virus. Fauci dismissed\u200d these claims, stating that some studies\u2064 are being misconstrued.<\/p>\n<p>He specifically mentioned a study by the Cochrane \u2063Library that examined the &#8220;Physical\u200b interventions to interrupt\u2064 or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.&#8221; According to Fauci, this study has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fauci-says-federal-mask-recommendations-are-possible-amid-uptick-in-covid\/\" title=\"Fauci suggests potential federal mask 'guidelines' due to COVID surge.\">caused \u2063confusion due<\/a> to misinterpretation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the study, it was reported, &#8220;Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no\u2062 difference to the outcome \u200dof influenza\u2010like illness (ILI)\/COVID-19 like illness \u200dcompared to not wearing masks.&#8221; However, following media coverage, the\u2064 Cochrane Library clarified that the\u200d results were inconclusive and that claiming &#8220;masks don&#8217;t \u200cwork&#8221; based on the \u200dstudy is inaccurate\u200d and misleading.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fauci highlighted this clarification, stating that\u200d it is &#8220;absolutely not the case&#8221;\u200d that masks don&#8217;t work. He emphasized that there are numerous studies\u200b showing the effectiveness of masks in preventing the spread of respiratory viruses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci anticipates federal recommendations for masks as COVID-19 cases surge, but not mandates.
