Or, more accurately, somebody desperate for anything they can possibly use to discredit Fauci because they've been opposed (mostly baselessly) to the public health recommendations he's been making since day one and want nothing more than to stop doing anything to stop/slow Covid.

For what it's worth, I don't think that citing the risk posed by variants is a good justification for continued mask usage. They do represent an unknown factor that has the potential to get out of control if it turns out the vaccine doesn't adequately prevent them, and continuing to use masks and distance dramatically reduces that risk, but that's also mostly speculative. What isn't speculative, however, is that there's no practical way to verify that somebody has been vaccinated, and there are millions upon millions of people in the US that would happily lie about being vaccinated if it meant they could stop wearing masks.

Quite simply, mask recommendations will go away when case numbers get and remain low enough for masks to no longer be beneficial. That's the only sensible basis for lifting them. Any sooner, and you face the risk of discovering that the downward trend in cases can't be purely attributed to the vaccine, resulting in cases climbing again (and you can bet your ass that people will fight tooth and nail to not have to put the masks back on once they're told they can take them off, making it much harder to wrangle that new wave).

I generally prefer to explain to morons just why they're being moronic. It may be wasted on them (being morons and whatnot), but in a public setting like this is helps to prevent them from misleading those for whom there is still hope.

Rand Paul seems like the kind of guy who would get upset at a medical certification board changing the requirements from lifetime acceptance, to needing to be renewed every 10 years, only to go on and create an alternative certification board with his family members on it

But, just because he looks like the kind of guy who would do that doesn't mean he would.

Not clicking that link but considering it's the same Fauci who was photographed maskless and not social distancing (iirc, there might be a whole collection of images?) which demonstrates he doesn't take his own recommendations seriously, I'm assuming Rand probably did own him.

You mean the Nats game photo? The one where he's sitting with his wife and close personal friend and literally no one else for several seats surrounding them?

Do you wear a mask 100% of the time when you're around your spouse/gf and close friends? You don't take a sip of water or bite of food the whole time?

Which of the following explanations do you think is more likely?

  • Fauci's recommendations (which countless other public health experts and officials have been giving since this whole thing began and are completely consistent with what anyone that has a basic understanding of aerodynamics and infectious diseases would expect to be recommended to limit the spread of an aerosol-borne virus) are bogus and do not actually do anything to help control the spread, so he ignores them whenever he doesn't have to keep up appearances to maintain this inexplicable scheme to force the whole country to wear a mask
  • Hordes of anti-maskers are scrutinizing his every move in hopes of finding some means to discredit him because they've spent the last year desperate for some shred of evidence that these recommendations might not be worth listening to, and have managed to capture a small handful of instances of Fauci (an ordinary human) making mistakes (an ordinary human thing to do) that appear (at least without context) to demonstrate a failure to comply with his recommendations
I'll give you a hint: One of those options is a reasonable interpretation of the obvious empirical reality we've all been readily able to observe, very consistent with basic common sense, and doesn't suggest that the person espousing such an interpretation has fallen prey to a ridiculous conspiracy theory. The other is what you said.

Vaccines and masks are both passive. Which is the same as proactive. As opposed to reactive.

Neither one really dominated the other but I agree with Rand Paul that many of Fauci's recommendations seem to be based purely on whim and speculation. And yeah, it's pretty ridiculous that people that have been fully vaccinated are still being told to wear masks. If we're waiting on 100% vaccination to stop wearing masks then I guess we'll be wearing them for the rest of our lives. Especially if this ends up being like the flu with constant mutations and seasonal vaccinations

Do you want to get specific with statistics in that case? Do you really want me to compare mask use statistics in Vietnam vs the USA in comparison with COVID-19 infection and death rates in Vietnam vs the USA? It isn't pretty. Aside from real-world stats, there are huge arrays of studies proving the things you believe Fauci is poor at speaking on.

Yeah, even with the rates we had with all these precautions certain hospitals were overrun with far too many Covid patients during a certain time. Hospitals are not designed to facilitate millions getting sick, and coming to the hospital.

Shouldn't the per capita rates be similar? Shouldn't their proximity to China be taken into account? The population density rate of Vietnam is also quite a lot higher than the USA.
