Now Fauci has flip-flopped yet again on masks, admitting on "Good Morning America" that it was merely political theater for him to wear a mask even after he's been fully vaccinated.
"Before the CDC made the recommendation change, I didn't want to look like I was giving mixed signals but being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low," Fauci told host George Stephanopoulos.
Fauci's comments come after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention abruptly updated its mask policy for vaccinated people following a particularly bad media week for the Biden administration. As The Daily Wire's Mairead McArdle reported, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky defended her agency in a tough interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace, who pointed out the policy change occurred within 24 hours of the CDC telling people to continue to wear masks indoors even when vaccinated.
"On Wednesday night, you were still arguing, still making the case that people who are fully vaccinated needed to wear masks indoors," Wallace said to Walensky. "And then Thursday, less than 24 hours later, you said, no, it changed, now you don't need masks if you're fully vaccinated either indoors or outdoors. Would you agree that this abrupt shift was not handled as well as it might have been?"
Walensky responded by saying the decision was based on "evolving data on the science."
Fauci's own statements on masks have continuously changed throughout the pandemic, as The Daily Wire's Joseph Curl summarized:
First Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's top immunologist, said Americans didn't need to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Then he said wear a mask. Then he said wear two masks. And he also insisted that everyone should wear a mask everywhere — even outdoors, and even if they're vaccinated.Fauci began making mask statements at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, when he said people didn't need "to be walking around with a mask." Of course, back then, the World Health Organization (WHO) was telling people the coronavirus spread mostly on surfaces.
"When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is," Fauci said at the time.
He later backtracked on that statement, saying he made it because he was worried about a shortage of protective equipment for frontline workers and that everyone should wear a mask.
In February of 2020, however, Fauci suggested people should wear two masks if they want better protection. "If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective," Fauci told NBC News.
In March, Fauci wanted people to wear a mask even outdoors and even if they had been fully vaccinated. He is now, yet again, saying something different.

The people who find this amusing don't know what horrors they are in for.
People think he's stupid, or that "they" don't know what they're doing with their very many seeming reversals of position when neither is the case. "They" know exactly what they're doing and invented what is known as the, "The Alice in Wonderland" confusion technique to unbalance prisoners, to lower their defences thru confusion, to weaken them generally and get them to talk. Here's a Google [Link] link on all that, and, if you think back, you'll see this has been a part of the Haters' psyop playbook from the very beginning. And, although I didn't know the term, it's something I've been calling out from the beginning, almost no one listened . . .
Or, in terms of lockdowns, anti-social dunce-stancing and face hiding by mask wearing does any of this ring a bell or two: And finally for the just moment: how is everyone doing with, "The Not Normal New Normal" anyway . . . And if you're OK in the face of it, how about those around you, those awash in one or another ocean of fear porn, belief in the death-dealing Quaxx Vaxx-s as Silver Cross Salvifics against the Great Covid Boogie Bug or in the well-meaningness of gov'ts, and so on and endlessly on.?

My husband and I talked about this a couple weeks ago. We observed that no one we know is as healthy as they were before. Some mentally, some physically, some both. With one exception. A family we know decided to home school their children, and those kids are thriving. In contrast to their cousins, who are barely hanging on. In total 6 kids under 12, and the disparity is shocking. Someone I know with severe asthma, wears her mask all the time, and cannot relate the noticeable worsening of her symptoms to that. The true covidians do not seem happy, and many have become bullies. Those of us who can talk about the truth are doing okay, some better than others, as would be expected. Loneliness is killing a couple folks I know, not necessarily old folks, either.
Good question, needs more thought. Thanks!
So apropo.
So many around me seem hypnotized by the media nonsense and follow blindly. They ask 'did you get YOUR shot yet?' I say 'No! But when everyone else gets it, then they'll be immune to ME. Right? Then it's game over!!!"
Their eyes just glaze over.
I'm proudly disconnected from the teevee for WELL over a decade. Classical music station is all I listen to and it goes off when the 'news' comes on. Teevee is actually offensive to me, both emotionally and physically to view. Just a flip phone with no net. And I use MAPS when I travel. A proud caveman here. It's so surprising to be complimented on my ability to use a screwdriver or a wrench, or to sharpen a pair of scissors. Who knew teevee would generate such amazing social benefits?
