President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Tuesday confirmed what Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told him two months ago about mask-wearing being unnecessary for Americans vaccinated against COVID-19.
When asked by host George Stephanopoulos how his personal mask-wearing habits have changed, Fauci responded that he feels more comfortable being seen in public indoors without a mask. Though he was vaccinated in December, Fauci said he had continued to wear a mask to avoid sending "mixed signals" to the American people by not wearing a mask.
"I'm obviously careful because I'm a physician and a health care provider. I am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask, I mean, before the CDC made the recommendation change I didn't want to look like I was giving mixed signals," Fauci told ABC News.
"But being a fully vaccinated person the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low. And that's the reason why in indoor settings now I feel comfortable about not wearing a mask because I'm fully vaccinated."
Exactly two months ago, on March 18, Fauci told a different story to Sen. Paul during a hearing on the pandemic response. Paul had grilled Fauci on the absence of scientific evidence to suggest that vaccinated Americans needed to wear masks.
"You're telling everybody to wear a mask whether they've had an infection or a vaccine, what I'm saying is they have immunity and everybody agrees they have immunity," Paul said. "What studies do you have that people who have had the vaccine or have had the infection are spreading the infection?"
"If we're not spreading the infection, isn't it just theater?" he pressed.
At the time, Fauci told Paul "I totally disagree with you" and insisted that mask-wearing is not theater.

Not.
Fauci=Fraud
Thank to Paul for doing his job.
The man admits now that he behaves one way in front of the cameras and walks differently off camera. And those around him or work with him say nothing.
We are supposed to follow the science, science they don’t even follow.
This is never been about a virus. It’s always been about control
In my thoughts today: I'm in Upstate...and I'm betting that Cuomo, aka the killing gov, got a call from Fauci telling Andy to go with the CDC mask specs.... because "you're making a f'n idiot out of me."
What exactly does Walmart have to do with that pic or others in the pic?
The big stores were allowed to stay open while the govt shut down their competition.
👍🏼😡
(Who couldn’t figure THAT one out? Geez. A troll, maybe?)
American taxpayers pay that fraudulent @-hole $500,000 per year to do what?! Fund our enemies to produce a bio weapon that has killed 3.2 million people worldwide and to spread misinformation. This criminal has a history of similar behaviors. He belongs in Federal prison, not on TV.
The mask issue is just to create media interest during a Biden Media Drought until BLM does something to earn a paycheck for Ben Crump.
The masked punk FAUZI is no lone ranger.
