White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci drew criticism Tuesday after saying children as young as 3 years old should continue to wear masks to protect against the coronavirus.
Asked by MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about the spread of the Delta variant of the virus and what that means for unvaccinated minors, Fauci said they and their parents should follow federal health advice. In its guidelines for safely opening K-12 schools in the fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "masks should be worn indoors by all individuals (age 2 and older) who are not fully vaccinated."
"Unvaccinated children of a certain age greater than two years old should be wearing masks," Fauci said. "No doubt about that. That's the way to protect them from getting infected, because if they do, they can then spread the infection to someone else."
Fauci has routinely advocated for strict health measures throughout the pandemic, but critics have been particularly frustrated with his calls to mask up children, who are statistically at a far smaller risk from getting or growing seriously ill from COVID-19. CDC data shows of the nearly 600,000 deaths attributed to coronavirus since 2020, only 331, or about 1 in 2,000, occurred among those ages 0-17.
In addition to the lower risk children face of getting or spreading the virus, some studies have shown mask-wearing for youngsters can even be harmful for their health, with parents claiming their kids are suffering headaches, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
"We're going to make low-risk children suffer to protect unvaccinated adults? C'mon. We have to begin caring about the kids," strategist Rory Cooper tweeted.
"I can't believe it's July 2021 and this man is still spouting nonsense on our televisions without any serious follow-up questions. What an embarrassment," New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz

There is no doubt that Fauci should wear a jockstrap over his suit pants whenever he is indoors!
Anthony Fauci. The Peter Strozk of another federal agency wasting billions of our dollars, putting our life and liberty in jeopardy, and treating the public with complete disdain. Like Strozk however I wish you would STFU.
How arbitrary. I spent the whole of the last school year with unvaxed, unmasked children. Amazingly, they were all ok, and so was I. Forcing children and teachers to wear masks is wrong. Young children need to be able to see mouths in order to learn to speak properly. When children are ill, keep them home.
He’ll put it on backwards, thinking it’s a fart catcher.
FAUCI IS A MENACE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I want that man JAILED for what he has done to kids.
Why are so many FReepers obsessed with what Leftist liars have to say?
It’s amazing really. I can understand the entertainment value of making fun of Leftists when they make total fools of themselves.
But this seems more like obsession. It seems like a lot of FReepers just can’t switch off CNN, and they must still be reading the NYT religiously.
Because how else would they ALWAYS know what the lefties said about this, or said about that? They always know what the celebrities are saying - and they even have videos of it.
So my next question is - when they score the ratings of CNN, etc.. aren’t they inflated from all the conservatives who are so obsessed they can’t look away? Doesn’t that help them? Don’t you know that giving them an audience is what keeps them alive?
Just turn it off! It’s easy. Trust me, you will still know what’s going on if you just watch Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and maybe ark Levin. Those guys will tell you if something important happens!
Problem with your argument. Fauci isn’t an uninvolved tv commentator. And time doesn’t stop when you turn off your TV. He’ll still be out politicizing and making policy.
“Why are so many FReepers obsessed with what Leftist liars have to say?”
Leftists stole the 2020 election. We have every right to be consumed.
“He’ll still be out politicizing and making policy.”
I know, and I’ll hear about it if it’s important. I have my trusted sources. I am not uninformed.
I care deeply about the Republic and the relentless attacks against it. Not an hour goes by without me checking the pulse.
The only difference is that I don’t seek out the known liars and give them my constant attention.
I’m talking about FReepers that are apparently glued to the fake news networks 24/7. They must be, or they wouldn’t be able to regurgitate it here seconds later.
Maybe that’s you, maybe it’s not - if the shoe fits…
Golden words to live by from Dr Fraudski
“Leftists stole the 2020 election. We have every right to be consumed.”
I agree. I’m consumed too. But we need to seek out the truth tellers and spread the truth.
The people I’m talking about seek out the fake news, get obsessed with it, and spread it around 24/7.
The beauty of Free Republic is the ability to cover most every spoken word on social media and Propaganda sources. Sure it seems redundent but necessary in order to put together the cases of destructive intent to our nation. Besides we don’t all peruse the same articles. Those who are really interested in forming ways to subvert the enemy need every source we can get and the conversation therein contained. DONAT TO FREE REPUBLIC.
You just don’t understand how it works. Nobody here posting anything is actually reading these sites or glued to any of those channels or websites. The headlines are aggregated, and if something truly outrageous is said or catches their eye, with a couple clicks people post the articles on here.
FR is just like the Mark Levin Show. It is a town hall meeting. Why should we have to wait to 6 o’clock or hear it from someone else? Also, Mark and Sean weren’t very good on covidfascism. Like most Republicans in charge they had no problems with masks and vaccines until it was too late.
“The people I’m talking about seek out the fake news, get obsessed with it, and spread it around 24/7.:
OK. I understand your point. And you have a good point. So many of us are negative, and negative energy is strong. Me, personally, I don’t watch any news and what I read on FR is what I know. So reading this article expands my small brain a bit.
Anthony Fauci, the health minkee.
Leftists stole the 2020 election. We have every right to be consumed.——-
And now senile Joe is destroying our nation, our economy, our morality and pushing the poison on everyone, they have blood on their hands. There will be a reckoning, the awakening ( revolution?) will be startling for all the world to see.
