Dr. Fauci responds to 'mischievous' criticism after he was photographed with mask off at Nationals game

The infectious disease specialist says he was dehydrated

-------

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that criticism of a photo in which he had his face mask partially down is "sort of mischievous."

In an interview on "America's Newsroom," Fauci told host John Roberts that he had been sitting next to his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, and a very close friend of his.

"I had my mask around my chin. I had taken it down. I was totally dehydrated and I was drinking water trying to rehydrate myself," he explained. "And, by the way, I was negative COVID literally the day before."

"So, I guess people want to make it a big event. I wear a mask all the time when I'm outside. To pull it down to take some sips of water and put it back up again -- I guess if people want to make something about that they can," he said. "But to me, I think that's just mischievous, John."

Critics took to Twitter to attack Fauci for the photo.

New York Magazine and Huffington Post contributing writer Yashar Ali reprimanded the doctor.

"Dr. Fauci should be setting a better example," he tweeted. Ali has over 662,000 followers on the social media platform.

The photo was taken by The Associated Press's Alex Brandon at Nationals Park.

"I was negative COVID literally the day before..."

Okay, so you likely didn't pass the virus. But fauxci, go get tested again, as without that mask on you undoubtedly got infected by all the other folks around you.

Ah,

The chin mask.

There is the forehead, chin, left ear hang, right ear hang, mustache, yamaca/kippah or even throat mask.

He’s an advocate of the chin mask, good to know.

He didn’t have to be there. The entire evening appears to have blown-up in the little publicity seeking arsewipe’s face.

I’m lovin’ it!

Cuomo violated his own mask rules while in Georgia, declined to self-quarantine on return to N.Y. The governor cited his status as an 'essential worker' to avoid self-quarantining

So we wear mask to protect other people? This is like Biden wearing the black strange fruit hanging from his ear tree.

He doesn’t seem to be drinking water in either picture. He’s a liar!

He thinks we’re all stupid and not qualified to understand what “Dehydrated” means.

FR should start paying a bounty if anyone can snap a photo of Fauci or Birx or Cuomo or Pelosi going maskless.

Of course he was drinking water. Can’t you haters see it? He was sucking the perspiration out of the mask of the guy (if that is a woman, he looka likea man) next to him.

Leave Dr. Fauci alone!

A surgical mask will provide a maximum of 40% protection. A cloth mask, like the one the Fauxchi is wearing under his chin will provide about 5% protection if you wear it on your face.

Fauxchi is a Fraud. He is deliberately trying to undermine Trump. But in this case Trump is letting him do it.

Fire the Fraud!!!

Trump does not have to fire him.

As this incident shows he is very thin-skinned.
Trump just needs to add some REAL doctors to his task
force who will start challenging him on every point, every
day. It won’t be long until his head explodes and/or he
quits.

That second picture is very interesting. Fauci claims to have been drinking water. If so, he must have an invisible straw. And what’s with his wife? She’s just sitting there, also without a mask. Maybe the whole Fauci family has invisible straws.

I think the guy on the left should sue both of them.

Dr. Fauci: Hey, we're talking about me siting next to "a very close friend" of mine here!

Inspector Todd: Yes we are, aren't we? Now lets take a close look at that. 1) A vulnerable age group friend. 2) Who you don't live with. 3) And you think you only have to test a day in advance? This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Dr. Fauci: But I was negative COVID literally the day before.

Inspector Todd: I'll have to remember that the next time I am at the grocery store. Don't #### with me now, Dr. Fauci. Not now.

2 minute anti mask rant. I’m agnostic on the subject but agree fully with this Irishman.

Yup, having that sawed-off prick there was a publicity stunt. Two days ago I was a huge Nat's fan. Between Fauci and the kneeling, I am done with the Nat's and MLB. I gave up the NFL two years ago, but was hoping MLB would not succumb to the nonsense.

The mandates are for us, the great unwashed. For the anointed elites, there are no rules. Duh.
