Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a Monday interview that, despite being confident that as a fully vaccinated individual he was at low risk of COVID-19 infection, he wore a mask indoors because he did not want to send “mixed signals.”
Fauci made the remarks in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who asked how the recently updated mask guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) affected Fauci’s mask-wearing practices. The CDC recently announced masks and social distancing were generally no longer necessary for those who are inoculated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19.
