Breaking news that’s not really breaking: Dr. Anthony Fauci has changed his mind on masks again.
But at least this time he’s changed it for the better:
“If you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask,” Fauci says.

Dr. Fauci with some news you can use on this sunny, spring morning: “If you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it.” The only exceptions, he said, are if you’re in a crowded space for an extended time.

OK, so you still have to mask up outside if you’re not vaccinated? And you still have to mask up inside, even if you’re fully vaccinated?
Well, baby steps, we guess.
Got em! https://t.co/IvWzhUwBkE

Heh.
Dr. Fauci apparently looked up the word, “vaccinated.”

Fauci’s announcement will fall on a lot of deaf ears, though.
No thanks. I don’t trust the honor system quite yet.

No thanks I’ll keep mine on

Even my 23 year old son said he’ll continue wearing a mask forever. No flu this year, no cold, no virus, allergies are far less. His health so much better for wearing masks

I wear it around my unvaccinated grandchildren unless we’re eating. Still weary outside with anyone who hasn’t taken the shot.

All these “I don’t have to wear a mask” “my rights!” men on here gonna be walking around with raging cases of ED after they get COVID bc they didn’t want to wear a piece of cloth over their face 🤣🤣.

Huh?
Thanks, but no thanks, Dr Fauci. I keep a mask with me and will continue to wear one outside when I'm around other people – who may or may not be vaccinated. How would we know?

No thank you. I'll be masking forever. The world is gross and people are grosser.

So the messaging has been a resounding success. Great work, everyone.
As perhaps the only resident of DC who doesn't wear a mask outside, this will do nothing.
Both the irrational fear and the tattletale, holier-than-thou social customs have already set in. Damage is done. The CDC blew it, once again. https://t.co/G7yspzPuwa
