Biden Administration to Distribute 400 Million N95 Masks
The Biden administration plans to make 400 million N95 masks available to Americans for free, a White House official told CNN.
The masks will come from the Strategic National Stockpile, and they expect the program to be “fully up and running by early February.” According to the report, the masks will be available at pharmacies and health centers.
“This is the largest deployment of personal protective equipment in US history,” the official told CNN.
The moms comes nearly two years after public health officials began advising the use of masks, despite Dr. Anthony Fauci’s initial dismissal.
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material,” he wrote in a February 2020 email to former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell. – READ MORE
