WASHINGTON – Dr. Anthony Fauci says people will need to wear masks “for several, several months” to avoid the coronavirus as vaccinations are rolled out.

The government’s top infectious disease expert told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday by the time 75% to 80% of the population is vaccinated, “the level of virus in the community could be so low that you could start pulling back a bit on what are stringent public health measures.”
But Fauci says any relaxing of safety measures needs to be done “prudently and gradually.”
U.S. government researchers have found that two masks are better than one in slowing the spread of the coronavirus, but health officials have stopped short of recommending everyone double up.
Fauci says the U.S. has contracted for 600 million vaccine doses, enough to vaccinate everyone with two doses. He says as spring turns into summer, everyone should be eligible to receive a vaccine.
Fauci says, “As we go from April to May to June and then hopefully by July, we’ll be at that point where we have enough vaccine for virtually everyone.”
So now let us all genuflect and bow, for the great reverend Fauci has spoken. We all know how much death and sickness have been avoided by all the mask-wearing (90% in states with mandates) over the past year, so we really owe the Great One a big thank-you. Especially in Florida, where virtually no one is dying of COVID-19 for the past few months (average 1 per day since mid November). Oh, I forgot, no one in Florida wears masks… Then maybe California should thank him, they wear masks. And they have most businesses shuttered. And they instituted heavy fines for mandate violations. And they’re dying in droves (550 daily since early December)… OK, let’s just bow and genuflect, forget the thanks…
A bunch of morons we are…
A mask will help you and the people around you. How hard is this to understand?
I went out with my family for a shabbos walk today. We wore masks- it was actually nice- keeps your face warm. Might wear a mask all winter walks.
Yes!!!!!
Dr Fauci can finally tell us the TRUTH without the fear of being fired or worse by that idiot called trump!!!!!
People are dying, and all trump cares about is the economy!!’
MASKS WORK!!!!!!
