Then he said wear a mask. Then he said wear two masks. And he also insisted that everyone should wear a mask everywhere \u2014 even outdoors, and even if they\u2019re vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci \u2014 an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on former President Trump\u2019s White House Coronavirus Task Force and is now President Biden\u2019s chief medical adviser on COVID-19 \u2014 said he thinks\u00a0 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will soon update its COVID-19 guidance on wearing face masks outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, if you are a vaccinated person, wearing a mask outdoors, I mean, obviously, the risk is minuscule,\u201d Fauci said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I believe you\u2019re going to be hearing, what the country is going to be hearing soon, is updated guidelines from the CDC,\u201d Fauci said ABC News\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/fauci-johnson-johnson-vaccine-temporary-pause-safety\/story?id=77289028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Week<\/a>.\u201d \u201cThe CDC is a science-based organization. They don\u2019t want to make any guidelines unless they look at the data and the data backs it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when you look around at the common sense situation, the risk is really low, especially if you\u2019re vaccinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists still don\u2019t know everything about COVID-19. Just last week, the CDC put out new guidance. \u201cIt is possible for people to be infected through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects (fomites), but the risk is generally considered to be low,\u201d the guidance says. The CDC added that the chance of contracting the coronavirus through surface transmission is lower than 1 in 10,000.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s contrary to what experts said at the beginning of the pandemic, when the prevailing wisdom was that surface transmission was the prime vehicle for catching COVID.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) was telling everyone it was mostly surface transmission, Fauci declared, \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it\u2019s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,\u201d the doctor said on CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>In February, Fauci said that wearing two masks is likely more effective than wearing one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,\u201d Dr. Fauci told NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who said last month that the six-foot social distancing mandate put in place across much of the U.S. \u201cwasn\u2019t based on clear science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis six-foot distancing requirement has probably been the single costliest mitigation tactic that we\u2019ve employed in response to COVID \u2026 and it really wasn\u2019t based on clear science \u2026 We should have re-adjudicated this much earlier,\u201d he said in an interview with CNBC.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
