"Fauci Gate" And What His Emails Tell Us About Covid-19 And American Politics

Among them, Sen. Rand Paul has been a leading figure in helping to spread misinformation about the Fauci emails.

In early February of 2020, Fauci received an email from a woman asking if she should wear a mask while traveling.

As Vox's Anna North reported, "When people like Trump don't wear masks and make wearing masks a political issue, their supporters are less likely to wear them." It follows that when people like Fauci do wear a mask and are involved in suggesting rules about wearing them, these same people will be waiting for an opportunity to prove him wrong.
