Fauci says fully vaccinated people 'might want to consider' wearing a mask indoors as a precaution against the Delta variant

It wasn't worth it. I don't believe any of the changes were based on 'learning something new' about the virus.

You can "believe" all you want. It does not make it so. Just ask a kid who "believes" in the tooth fairy.:ROFLMAO:
 
Fauci and the CDC have been fighting the science on this and dollars to doughnuts it’s because of political considerations. The WHO gave this advice a month ago and they just recently conceded to the AAP who’ve they’ve been fighting forever on the need for children to keep wearing masks.

It's difficult to tell what your position on masks is.

lol - that's a pretty weak response given the topic - purely argumentative I only gave the qualifier because I haven't traced back ALL of the changes he's made, and didn't want to give an absolute response. None of the ones that come to mind, including the two most recent changes, have had anything to do with 'learning more' about the disease. Can you think of any that did?
 
My position on masks has always been to follow the science not the Fauci creature or the CDC.

Groovy, man. Can you plainly state what your position on masks is?

Doesn't really matter. Nothing will change your views.

I tend to do my own research and not rely on politicians or Fauci to tell me if I should wear a mask or not.
Do I consider what Fauci , CDC, AMA, scientists say regarding Covid and mask. Yes, I do .

Has Fauci frustrated me regarding his recommendation changes. Nope.
 
It is interesting how some here on DP care so little for others, all because of what they believe is their personal freedom right.

By choice I still wear a mask in stores.

-No one should be wearing a mask unless they are sick.
-Masks are totally ineffective against the COVID particles.
-Everyone should wear masks
-OK...I lied when I told people that they didnt have to wear masks because I didnt want them buying all the masks that the medical community needed.
-Yeah, I lied about the herd immunity percentages because I wanted to make it more acceptable.
-BTW...wear 2 masks now.

Now tell me again why anyone should believe him?
 
The Fauci creature has finally conceded and says it’s time for masks again! Everyone get those sewing machines warmed up!
LOL!! I've been saying this for days and debating it with posters here who adamantly INSISTED I was wrong. Lol!! Really, I should be Fauci's advisor. I knew it before he did. Thanks!!

I’m sorry, I legit can’t keep up with right wing covid arguments anymore: who is getting owned and what is the ownage?

Everybody should be wearing them and social distancing because getting vaccinated has nothing to do with the virus spreading, AND, the vaccine only marginally protects people. I have sibling that got the recommended 2 needle fulls and a month later, guess what?? She got it from her son who had also been vaccinated twice. And yes, they were in rough shape for quite awhile. What a joke. Thanks!!
 
Right wingers gonna act like him giving a personal opinion that people “might want to consider” is a fascist dictatorship commanding the public to obey.
This thread is a PSA. It’s also a dig at the Fauci creature. The WHO said a month ago that vaccinated people need to wear masks. So why did it take a month for the Fauci creature to pop up in the media circuit with a wishy washy statement that vaccinated people maybe might consider wearing one?

one. I have not a clue of the context or timeline you are presenting with those bullet statements.

I said, "I tend to do my own research and not rely on politicians or Fauci to tell me if I should wear a mask or not.
Do I consider what Fauci , CDC, AMA, scientists say regarding Covid and mask. Yes, I do ."

Fauci is a source. Just like I bet some consider Hannity, Carlson, OANN, etc a source for information.

Check and verify. In the end it is your decision if you mask or not. If you get a vaccine or not.
I would recommend people think beyond their own personal choice and consider the safety of others. Who knows if one is a asymptomatic carrier of covid. Better to be safe that sorry.

That... doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't change my 'view' that Fauci has changed his position on masks many times - and that these changes weren't based on him 'learning something new'. Those facts are well documented.

Politics. Fauci didn't want to embarrass Socio-Joe who desperately needed to make the right look foolish with his "we have the fix" bull, and his consistent, tacit message that "the only impediment to eradication and an open economy is right wing resistance." Joe's always been dependent on liberal hostility toward the right. But Socio-Joe had to have known - after all he gets briefings - that the Brits weren't fairing as well as they should be in the war against the Delta variant which is now - no doubt - mutating again, and not for the better. With 86 percent vaccinated, England can't stop it, and worse, Socio-Joe's own state department issued a level 4 warning against travel there this week. Apparently, the vaccines didn't usher in the Covid free nirvana that was supposed to make those right wingers look like apish resisters. Instead, it's looking like the vaccines AREN'T anywhere near as effective as touted. And now Fauci is up against it with no choice but to ADMIT that vaccine or not - Covid Is NOT on the run, and you can spread it and even get it, vaccinated or not. It's all politics. Thanks!!

Gosh, a scientist changes their mind due to changing conditions, when we have more data. and the situation changes due to the vast stupidity of the anti-vaxxers

I have been vaccinated for 2months I still wear my mask indoors in stores and other public places. There are few places that ask people to wear it but do not mandate it.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With the delta variant of the coronavirus spreading in Ohio, the state’s chief medical officer on Wednesday offered a stark warning that anyone who hasn’t received a COVID-19 vaccine will almost certainly develop an infection.


The delta variant accounted for more than 36% of all infections that were sequenced in Ohio during a two-week period ending July 3, said Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, the chief medical officer for the Ohio Department of Health. It represented fewer than 1% of infections just one month earlier.
The trend is likely to continue, as health experts have determined the delta variant is more transmissible than earlier strains of the virus. That means anyone who has not received a COVID-19 vaccine is highly likely to develop an infection at some point, Vanderhoff told reporters during a virtual news briefing.



“It is really now just a matter of time,” Vanderhoff said. “It is when, not if, an unvaccinated individual develops COVID-19.”



Vanderhoff offered the blunt assessment at a time when just 48.5% of Ohio’s population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and just 45.5% have been fully vaccinated.



That means more than half of the state’s residents are still highly susceptible to contracting the virus. This includes everyone under age 12, an age group not yet approved for vaccines. Approximately 57% of the age-eligible have been vaccinated.



The media briefing also came one day after Ohio reported 744 new coronavirus infections and just before Wednesday’s report of 785 more cases, the state’s highest totals in nearly two months. Vanderhoff said the recent surge has largely been driven by the delta variant.



It’s clear the spread of the delta variant significantly increases the risk to any Ohio residents who haven’t received a vaccine, said Dr. Amy Edwards, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital who also took part in the media briefing.



“There’s no doubt about it. Now that the delta variant is here, [the unvaccinated] will get sick from COVID,” Edwards said.

you shouldn't argue with imbicles

I personally decieded to start wearing a mask when shopping again. The 7 day infection rate in my country as tripled in the last 2 weeks. I'ts only a 7 day average of 1.2%, but the steep incline triggers red flags, and one of my meds increases the chance of infections.
 
The only reason I took the shot (I got the one-shot and done type) was to be able to toss the mask.

I seem to already have a natural immunity to such viruses, as I have described before.

I am NOT going to start wearing masks just because Dr. Fauci "recommends" it.
It's pathetically ridiculous. Why anyone would give this idiot any respect is beyond me. Promote the vaccine and then tell people they still have to wear a mask. Why get a vaccine is the message people are getting from this deal. P.T. Barnum was right.
 
This wouldn’t be neccessary if people would have followed the advise to get vaccinated in the first place. We were warned a variant could happen and what would happen if we didn’t reach herd immunity. If the situation changes we need to change too.
Both of us vaccinated
Our Province masks are required for businesses.
Everything is opened.
Case counts near 0.
And we will continue to wear masks.

But down south has culture wars over masks & vaccines
