Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s leading infectious-disease expert, told Axios that the public is misinterpreting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s announcement last week that fully vaccinated people can go without masks indoors.

“I think people are misinterpreting, thinking that this is a removal of a mask mandate for everyone. It’s not,” he told Axios. “It’s an assurance to those who are vaccinated that they can feel safe, be they outdoors or indoors.”
Fauci emphasized that the health agency did not explicitly tell unvaccinated people to go without masks but instead communicated to vaccinated individuals that they won’t get
infected indoors or outdoors.

“People either read them quickly, or listen and hear half of it. They are feeling that we’re saying: ‘You don’t need the mask anymore.’ That’s not what the CDC said,” he told the news outlet.
Reaction to the CDC’s guidance has been applauded by those who say it shows the efficacy of vaccinations against the coronavirus and criticized by those who say forgoing masks is too soon.

Based on what I read on SF and hear in the news, a lot of unvaccinated people are deliberately disregarding the CDC guidelines. Suggesting these are misinterpretations is a very generous position.

Not sure where your second link was meant to go, @Becky1951. It points to the creation of a new, blank thread.

Here's another link. Not sure how that happened. I edited the link above.

Didn't we all stop listening to Fauci when we found out he had financial interests in the Wuhan lab?
No offence Becky! All your posts are extremely informative.

No offense taken, I thought it was interesting in the sense that it was 'another' jab at unvaccinated people. I wonder what next weeks news articles will have in way of trying to get more people vaccinated?

I don't think he meant it as a jab. I don't think people are listening. They hear no more masks and that's where their brains stop. They're disregarding the rest of the statement.
 
No One knows the full story behind this virus, nor it's long term effects, or how well these vaccines will ultimately bring this virus under control. In the interim, it is only common sense, for everyone to remain cautious, and avoid any activity that might increase their risks.

We had our shots, earlier this year, with NO side effects, but we still use our masks when going to the stores, etc. We would rather put up with a minor inconvenience than risk becoming a "statistic".

Any way you slice it, wearing a mask shows no confidence in the vaccine. Same for "Social Distancing" (BS)
It's like getting vaccines before traveling to other countries, then being told to stay home to be safe. 😊

I am thinking there is a strong possibility history won't look kindly at Fauci or the vaccination nazi's.

We'll see with the long term effects what happens which right now no one knows since the vaccines were not tested on rats or mice first. Hopefully there will be no long term effects, but my gut feeling is telling me something else. As for Fauci, everyone is entitled to their opinion, he's in it for the $$$$$. I didn't like him from the beginning and can't stand watching him while he's on TV, I change the channel.

Actually, it's more like getting vaccines before traveling to other countries, then remaining cautious about going to malaria-infested (or whatever) areas while there.

Not quite. When my mother took me to Europe with her, I was given several vaccines. We never visited any jungles; we only visited relatives in different cities.
How would you know what areas had malaria-infested mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are everywhere.
And I never got any vaccines against malaria, anyway, I was given measles, typhoid fever & smallpox vaccines.

Quite the opposite, it shows that you’re still being responsible in knowing that the vaccine will help keep you out of the hospital, but that you can still become ill.

It shows you still care about others and yourself.

If believing that makes you feel better about yourself, have fun. We all need a pat on the back now & then; even if we have to do it ourselves. 😊
 
I am fully vaccinated, meaning that I have had the two injections of the vaccine and have waited the 2 weeks since the second injection (more, actually), so I feel comfortable not wearing a mask. If a sign is posted to wear a mask before entering, I will do so, but otherwise, I put my trust in the scientists' hands.

What if we've been living anyway? Dr. Fauci is, once again, confusing people.

I don't think I'd want Dr. Fauci as my doctor because he does complete 180s more than I'm comfortable with a doctor doing.

He was like, "Don't wear a mask" and then he said "Wear a mask" and then he said "Wear 2 masks." That's a net gain of 3 masks.

It's like if he said, "Murr, we're gonna take your left testicle; you have testicular cancer." And then he said "Oops, it was the right testicle; we gotta take the right one." And then he'd be like, "Oh man, you're gonna hate me. You never had testicular cancer."
 
Some folks here aren't going to like this but a major story about Fauci is hitting the wires. "Fauci in 2012: Gain-Of Function Research Into Bat Viruses is Worth The Risk Of A Pandemic.: Title and link is from The Federalist but it was also on other sites and Twitter. I have no idea of its validity other than to note that where there's a lot of smoke, there can be fire. If true, the word ignominious comes to mind. If false, the words "sitting duck" come to mind.
