Fauci Flip Flops AGAIN, Now Admits Wearing A Mask While Fully Vaccinated Was Political Theater

Two months ago, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) took Dr. Anthony Fauci to task for continuing to insist Americans wear a mask even if they have been fully vaccinated. At the time, Fauci disagreed with Paul’s assertion that continuing to wear a mask once someone has been infected with the coronavirus or fully vaccinated was simply political “theater.”

Now Fauci has flip-flopped yet again on masks, admitting on “Good Morning America” that it was merely political theater for him to wear a mask even after he’s been fully vaccinated.

“Before the CDC made the recommendation change, I didn’t want to look like I was giving mixed signals but being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low,” Fauci told host George Stephanopoulos.

Fauci began making mask statements at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, when he said people didn’t need “to be walking around with a mask.” Of course, back then, the World Health Organization (WHO) was telling people the coronavirus spread mostly on surfaces.

“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,” Fauci said at the time.

He later backtracked on that statement, saying he made it because he was worried about a shortage of protective equipment for frontline workers and that everyone should wear a mask.

In February of 2020, however, Fauci suggested people should wear two masks if they want better protection. “If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” Fauci told NBC News.

In March, Fauci wanted people to wear a mask even outdoors and even if they had been fully vaccinated. He is now, yet again, saying something different.
