What would we do without our expert overlords?
Dr. Fauci has responded to criticism of him not wearing a mask while on Fox News Friday morning. “Just want to bring up one thing quickly because it’s become a meme on the internet,” said host John Roberts. “There’s a photo of you in the stands with two people, you are not wearing a mask and not social distancing, but we should point out that one of those people is your wife. What about the other person?”
“The other person is a very close friend of mine,” Fauci responded. “John, I think this is sort of mischievous with this thing going around. I had my mask around my chin, I had taken it down. I was totally dehydrated and I was drinking water trying to rehydrate myself. And by the way, I was negative Covid literally the day before.”
“So I guess if people want to make a thing of that, I wear a mask all the time when I am outside,” Fauci continued. “To pull it down, to take some sips of water, and put it back up again, I guess if people want to make something about that, they can. But to me, I think that’s just mischievous.”
Mischievous? While it’s okay for him to be sitting with his wife, his acknowledgment that the other man in the photo was only a friend, with whom he should have not only been practicing social distancing but also wearing a mask. Fauci also said he was drinking water, but in the above photo he’s using his phone, no drink in hand.
And then there’s this photo, once again, featuring Fauci wearing a mask the wrong way.
