The man that led the United States through COVID and the man that was in charge of promoting masks and social distancing during COVID is on record stating that there’s no scientific evidence for social distancing. It’s also a proven fact that regular face masks did not stop COVID you needed N95 or medical grade masks
I do not support Trump picking Fauci. During Faucis interview with the House committee he stated that social distancing just appeared and was not based on any science. Look it up. There is no scientific proof that cloth masks help stop covid it was also just assumed that they did
Fauci is actually very medically competent. His pleas to the Reagan administration regarding HIV/AIDS went unheard, he warned the world of Ebola and helped have it contained, and his advice on COVID was actually pretty sound. The biggest issues with the COVID response were government hesitancy to act and fear from the general public making it difficult for essential workers to follow guidelines properly due to the shortages of equipment like KN95 masks
As for social distancing, it’s not a single-legged measure and it’s circumstantial. For example: It should’ve been used with proper masks, and it should’ve been done only in open air spaces. Social distancing in enclosed spaces was ineffective due to how particles spread in enclosed rooms. The studies on ventilation in rooms helped to further come up with ways to make social distancing more effective indoors, see one of such diagrams below
