Dr. Anthony Fauci finally encouraged vaccinated Americans to ditch their masks outside — more than two weeks after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave the green light that it was safe.
“If you are vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside. We’ve got to make that transition,” the White House chief medical adviser told “CBS This Morning” on Thursday.
“It would be a very unusual situation, if you were going into a completely crowded situation where people are essentially falling all over each other, then you wear a mask. But any other time, if you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it.”
Fauci had argued last month that vaccinated people should stick to wearing masks outdoors, saying it was still possible for them to contract the virus.
