Is it too much to ask that Dr. Fauci and Dr. Walensky agree on indoor mask use while testifying in the Senate on MASK GUIDANCE?

You just can’t make this up:

Dr. Fauci is maskless during testimony while Dr. Walensky double masks. The mixed messaging continues.

Here’s CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky:

And here’s NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci:

Fauci removed his mask before testifying:

CDC Director Walensky kept her (double) mask on while giving her testimony. Fauci has removed his.

LOL they’re literally talking about mask guidance:

If 81-year-old Dr. Fauci won’t wear an N95 mask indoors, why should kids?

Dr. Fauci and Dr. Walensky testify in the Senate today as the CDC considers upgrading mask guidance from cloth to N95 or KN95. My 5 year old grandson doesn’t need this guidance. His parents purchased child-sized KN95 masks for him to wear to his kindergarten class.
