One of President Joe Biden’s top medical advisers on Feb. 28 said people who get COVID-19 shots can do things they couldn’t do before being vaccinated.

“One of the things that I think is going to become clear, that, if you have individuals, adults who are vaccinated, two people that are doubly vaccinated and are protected, then you can do things that we weren’t talking about before. You can have dinner in a home without masks on,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
