Fauci Says Vaccinated Americans Should 'Go the Extra Mile' and Wear Masks in Areas with Low Vaccination Rates

Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to the president, said Sunday that, even though coronavirus vaccines are highly effective, vaccinated people should “go the extra mile” and wear a mask in places of low vaccination rates.

He said that "there would be a good reason" to continue wearing face coverings in a place like Mississippi, which has the lowest vaccination rate in the country, regardless of vaccination status.

“If you put yourself in an environment in which you have a high level of viral dynamics and a very low level of vaccine, you might want to go the extra step and say 'When I'm in that area where there's a considerable degree of viral circulation, I might want to go the extra mile to be cautious enough to make sure that I get the extra added level of protection, even though the vaccines themselves are highly effective,'” Fauci said in an interview with Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” adding that vaccines are not 100 percent effective.

This comes as the highly infectious delta variant of the coronavirus, which was first discovered in India, has begun to spread in the United States.

Local mask advisories have been implemented in areas such as Los Angeles county and St. Louis, Mo. for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in indoor settings amid the spread of the delta variant.

The United States has seen a decline in COVID-19 infections and deaths as access to vaccines has become widely available.

However, Fauci warned of a possible coronavirus surge and said that the pandemic is not over just yet due to the delta variant.

"When you have such a low level of vaccination superimposed upon a variant that has a high degree of efficiency of spread, what you are going to see among undervaccinated regions, be that states, cities or counties, you're going to see these individual types of blips," Fauci told CNN's Don Lemon. "It's almost like it's going to be two Americas."

The delta variant is responsible for 25 percent of all new U.S. cases.

So the vaccine is a hoax, eh, doc?

And the scientifically proven useless talisman is the only real defense?

The garden gnome spews fear and contradtion...as usual.

"It's almost like it's going to be two Americas."

Got news, doc: It has always been two Americas.

Forget RED States and BLUE States.

The issue is FREE States and FEAR States!

“Go the extra mile” is SCIENCE, all you white-supremacist insurrectionist extremists!

I was going to say, “As long as the vaccines are available to them, and everyone has been given choice, then why?” I then realized that is insufficient - as it also assumes the vaccine is not particularly effective.

So, Fauci: Your position is broken on both ends of the equation, yes?

Fauci says the vaccine only works if other people are vaccinated.
Nitwit.

why did he MAKE the common cold virus deadly?

why .... against Pres. TRUMP’s Order?

why did he invest in making it deadly?

how much has he been paid to MAKE and RELEASE the terror?

how much has he been paid to engineer and MANDATE
his snakeoil CCP-designed DNA operating system?

However, Fauci warned of a possible coronavirus surge and said that the pandemic is not over just yet due to the delta variant.

The surge will be due to the usual Fall/Winter surge in flu due to people being indoors more and not getting enough sunshine / vitamin D3.

And the variant survives because the variant is the virus adapting to the vaccine. The more transmissible variants “win”.

Narcissist?

It’s clear that he cannot admit he was EVER wrong.

A man with a very small soul.

I had a boss like that once.

I thought we were told I wear a mask to protect you, and vice versa. Now the deal is I wear a mask to protect myself? Even after being vaccinated?

The only people buying Fauci’s stories now are people lacking long-term memory.

All he did was remind me of the old commercial for Camel cigarettes: I'd walk a mile for a Camel.

I had to check to make sure this was not the Babylon Bee. Fauci is a clown show.
