Dr. Fauci owes Senator Rand Paul a huge apology. Fauci finally admitted why he continued to wear masks long after being fully vaccinated, as anyone with a shred of comment sense could have guessed it was all for the optics.

“I didn’t want to look like I was giving mixed signals. But being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected, in an indoor setting, is extremely low,” Fauci said during an appearance on ABC Tuesday.

Senator Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist, accused Fauci of continuing to wear masks for theater which he then unequivocally denied.

According to The Washington Examiner:

“If we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t it just theater?” the Kentucky Republican said to Fauci during a Senate hearing. “If you’ve had the vaccine and you’re wearing two masks, isn’t that theater?”

“No, it’s not — here we go again with the theater,” Fauci responded.

“The other thing is, that when you talk about reinfection, and you don’t keep in the concept of variants, that’s an entirely different ballgame. That’s a good reason for a mask,” Fauci added.

“You’ve been vaccinated, and you parade around in two masks for show,” Paul said.
