wearing a cloth mask is like hiding behind a chain link fence trying to get away from mosquitos.
Schooled? You've GOT to be kidding me. SMH
The idiocy of Rand Paul and his Chud clones is remarkable. Until we achieve herd immunity, everyone needs to do their part and model safe behavior. Is that too hard for you to understand?
Well over half of our population hasn't been vaccinated yet for crying out loud!
You’re not understanding the virus, variants and the practicality of all of this. First of all, Rand Paul schooled Fauci and made him look like an idiot
We are not wearing masks forever. Stop arguing with the science and creating fear porn like Fauci. Why is he wearing 2 masks? He’s fearing the variants that aren’t even where he is??
If you get immunity from the vaccine or natural immunity, you should stop wearing a mask. There will always be variants and at this point they are not of significance and widespread. We are not wearing them for variants, unless those variants are more virulent and widespread. Are they all failing to be controlled by every vaccine or natural immunity?
Early research that still needs to be finalized suggests that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines can provide protection against the variants identified in the U.K. and South Africa.
Not everyone is going to get the vaccine and many already have shut it down for good. The time is now to stop with the stupid masks that haven’t been proven to completely stop this amongst people without immunity or the vaccine, so it certainly isn’t going to help those with it.

So it's 'impractical' to wear masks until we've established herd immunity? Why? What's wrong with modeling safe behavior while we're in the process of getting everybody vaccinated?
I will stop wearing a mask in public places when we get to the point where most folks that want to be vaccinated have gotten a shot. It sounds right now that it'll be by early July. I know it's tough to make such a tremendous sacrifice for the public good, but I think my wife and I can somehow get through it.

SMH. It's been well over a year now and some people still don't get it: Combating a contagious virus is EVERYBODY's business if we hope to keep the number of infections and deaths down.
When will we develop herd immunity against the variants?So it's 'impractical' to wear masks until we've established herd immunity? Why? What's wrong with modeling safe behavior while we're in the process of getting everybody vaccinated?

Never. There will constantly be new variants every few months, and the carrot of being allowed to go back to normal will keep being dangled in front of us.
Nuh uh. If we all wear masks for just another year or 10 we'll shutdown this virus.
Fire fauci yesterday.
Because many are NOT EVER getting vaccinated. This Fauci quack is essentially saying that we are not going to have herd immunity anytime soon

Bingo! A this rate, since it’s not even prevalent, maybe never. It’s the new flu/cold
Ok cool. Let’s even say August. After that, someone needs to take a stance and it’s not going to be Fauci or Biden with the behavior that they are displaying. 🐑So it's 'impractical' to wear masks until we've established herd immunity?

Rand Paul has it right
I am done wearing masks a week or two after I get my second vaccine. Done. If work requires it, fine, but I am sick of this shit.

Follow your leader, Biden already told you come early July you may be able to meet in small groups outside, but only if you have been vaccinated and are still wearing a mask.
Rand Paul is going to overplay his hand. I liked his dad, but Rand can come off as arrogant and pedantic. He is right in this situation(and when he challenged the HHS trans person); but he should see the irony in staging political theater by calling out someone else’s political theater.
Fauci has spent 40 years playing politics and not really having much to show for it. He played the aids crisis wrong, oversaw outsourcing gain-of-function testing to Wuhan, and he played the Covid response wrong too. I don’t see how he keeps his job.

Trump was supposed to make sure he was part of the Potomac River sediment and something went terribly wrong.
From the CNN Editorial linked below:
"Here's the thing: Paul's entire argument -- against masks and the broader mitigation efforts the government has taken to contain the spread of the coronavirus -- is that we don't have any long-term studies that suggest provide clear guidance about what to do in this next phase of our fight against Covid-19.
Here's the problem with Paul's show-me-the-science mantra: The Covid-19 virus has only been around for 16 months or so. No one knew ANYTHING about it before it emerged in China in late 2019. So the idea that we could have definitive answers about every aspect of it -- from masking to vaccines to herd immunity -- is ridiculous."

Why Rand Paul's 'government worrywart' insult for Fauci is so off-base | CNN Politics
Rand Paul is a Republican senator from Kentucky. He is also an ophthalmologist. What he is not is an infectious disease expert.
Do you wear a mask because you're afraid of catching a variant of the measles virus?From the CNN Editorial linked below:

I for one think people need to keep taking steps for another 2 to 4 months and then go ahead and live life like we did before Covid. Most Seniors are already vaccinated, and by early summer 30% or more of the population will have had the shot, add to that the 15 to 20% who have had it already, along with the normal summer slow down, there is no reason to keep the 6 foot distance and mask. China virus is not going away, we simply have to learn to live with it. Just like we do with the Flu.
