Fauci: Maskless Are ‘Encroaching’ on Others Right to Not Get Sick
Breitbart ^ | August 1, 2021 | PAM KEY

Posted on 08/01/2021 9:27:45 AM PDT by conservative98

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that people unwilling to wear face masks indoors are “encroaching” on other individual rights because you’re making them vulnerable to getting infected with COVID-19.

The Pfizer vaccine is almost as effective as a placebo in double-blind studies.

You are the one ‘Encroaching’ on Others Right to Not Get Sick, Dr. Evil.

Didn’t HIV-positive people successfully sue for the right to donate blood?

“So although you want to respect a person’s individual right, when you’re dealing with a public health situation, and we are, in fact, in a very serious public health challenge here with a pandemic, with a virus that has an extraordinary capability of spreading rapidly and efficiently from person to person. So a person’s individual decision to not wear a mask not only impacts them because if they get infected, even though they say it’s my decision if I get infected, I’ll worry about that. But the fact is if you get infected, even if you are without symptoms, you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable, who may get seriously ill. So, in essence, you are encroaching on their individual rights because you’re making them vulnerable. So you could argue that situation both ways.””

Could easily be rephrased: ‘So although you want to respect a person’s individual right, when you’re dealing with a public health situation, and we are, in fact, in a very serious public health challenge here with a pandemic, with a virus that has an extraordinary capability of spreading rapidly and efficiently from person to person. So a person’s individual decision to not GET THE VACCINES not only impacts them because if they get infected, even though they say it’s my decision if I get infected, I’ll worry about that. But the fact is if you get infected, even if you are without symptoms, you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable, who may get seriously ill. So, in essence, you are encroaching on their individual rights because you’re making them vulnerable. So you could argue that situation both ways.”

Everyone else is free to get infected from me, if I’m infected.

That happens with colds, flu—even AIDS in real life, too.

We don’t quarantine for any of those actual infectious conditions, but, somehow, we will quarantine uninfected people during COVID-19 times.

Screw it, all.

This is and has been a potentially powerful “wedge” issue. IMHO there is demonic intelligence behind it. Intellectually and spiritually speaking, it was never that hard to dispose of, at least in the abstract. But we don’t live in the abstract. The notion is not a trifling one that we are all in some ways responsible for the effect our decisions as individuals and our personal behavior has/have on others. Would that it were not so, but it appears that great effort, much prayer, and a copious amount of divine grace will be required to beat back this particularly insidious line of reasoning. Fauci cannot be permitted to appear to occupy the moral high ground for any appreciable length of time.

The only people who should be wearing masks are those with active tuberculosis. With the open borders situation, I’m going to assume everyone I see masked up has TB, which is scarier than the Rona ever was.

Proggies are very fond of the “Do as I say or you’re denying my rights” formulation. Your owning a firearm denies their rights not to get shot, your owning a car denies their rights to a clean planet, etc, etc. The only consistent part is “Do as I say.”

That’s the standard argument used by Marxists against individual freedom:

“You exercising your right to say things I don’t like encroaches on my right to not have to hear things I don’t like.”

“You exercising your right to carry a gun encroaches on my right to not have people carrying guns.”

“You exercising your right to private property encroaches on my right to go anywhere I want.”

“You exercising your right to be unmasked or unvaccinated encroaches on my right to have everyone masked and vaccinated.”

Using that “logic”, nobody should have any rights.

So this is true of COVID, but not of AIDS?

The best approach is for each person to assess their own vulnerability and takes precautions to minimize their risk.

And for what it's worth, masks provide little protection. If someone really feels they are at a severe risk, they should stay away from other people, unless they are confident those people are not currently infected.

Exactly right. This “variant” is at least in part a trial run for stealing next year’s election.

Hey Fauci, those who have taken your precious vaccine can not be infected by us maskless infidels, can they? And you want us dead anyway, don’t you? Looks like a win-win for you, doesn’t it? < /sarc >
