Dr. Fauci on Whether People Can Trick-or-Treat for Halloween: 'Enjoy It'
Townhall.com ^ | 10 October A.D. 2021 | Rebecca Downs

Dr. Anthony Fauci is back to making his regular Sunday show appearances. During his October 10 appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Fauci told host Dana Bash that people could enjoy trick-or-treating for Halloween later this month. As Bash mentioned, it's "just around the corner."

Fauci gave the "okay," especially since it's an outdoor activity:

BASH: One last question.

Halloween is just around the corner. A lot of parents are wondering how to trick or treat. Do they hand out candy? Do they walk around with their children?

What's your guidance?

FAUCI: I think that -- particularly if you're vaccinated, but you can get out there.

You're outdoors, for the most part -- at least when my children were out there doing trick or treating. And enjoy it. I mean, this is a time that children love. It's a very important part of the year for children. I know my children enjoyed it.

So, I mean, again, particularly if you're vaccinated. If you're not vaccinated, again, think about it, that you will add an extra degree of protection to yourself and your children and your family and your community.

So it's a good time to reflect on why it's important to get vaccinated, but go out there and enjoy Halloween, as well as the other holidays that will be coming up.

It's worth highlighting that he also mentioned this with regards to "the other holidays that will be coming up."

Ultimately, there was time for one last question, with Bash asking Dr. Fauci when people who have been vaccinated can be indoors without a mask. "I hope that's soon. But I can't give a prediction of a date on that," Fauci said. Recommended Terry McAuliffe Gets Wrecked in Fact-Check from WaPo Calling Out ‘Flimflammery’ Rebecca Downs

This Sunday show appearance comes one week after Fauci appeared on CBS News' "Face the Nation," where he told host Margaret Brennan that "it’s just too soon to tell" when asked of "we can gather for Christmas." Fauci was forced to walk back his remarks. A day later, he told CNN that "I will be spending Christmas with my family. I encourage people, particularly the vaccinated people who are protected, to have a good, normal Christmas with your family."

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) posted a recommendation that people open windows and get a ceiling fan for their holiday gatherings, so as to increase ventilation, but, as Landon reported, the CDC said that was last year's guidance posted by mistake.

I wouldn’t turn to the Faux Prophet for advice on a hangnail.

Why in the hell would anyone even lower themselves to ask for his permission. Since when do we need advice everytime we do something. We lived without him before.

We're in Week 5 of MILLIONS of people filling College and Pro Football stadiums, not to mention that we're in the midst of MLB Playoffs, and there has been ZERO attribution to any outbreaks.

So, I'm pretty sure America doesn't give a damn about what Fauci thinks.

As if, in general, people actually listen to the CDC. We follow their guidelines only because we’re made to by our circumstances.

Translation. For the major candy companies, Halloween is their primary profit center and we can’t disrupt that.

Too much backlash from what he said over thanksgiving and Christmas. I can’t believe anyone listens to this fraud.

Dana Bash: “Doctor Fauci, can I go to the Toilet or do you think that is too dangerous? I have been wearing adult diapers since Covid and am still afraid to use a toilet seat”

I expected him to say, “Well, maaaaaybe….so long as you hand out candy using a slingshot.”

Of course he would support Halloween and want to cancel Thanksgiving nd Christmas.

It’s all about who is being recognized on those days..

I don’t need or want the left’s permission to do anything.

If I wanted their opinion, I’d ask them.

Since I didn’t, I’m ignoring their self-important blathering as if they think that people really care what they think.
