The face of Biden’s government’s pandemic response, Dr Anthony Fauci has built a reputation to have quite the knack for abruptly conclusive statements on what the American people can or cannot safely do as regards the pandemic. Whether it is the several congress bashes or the quick shifts in his convictions as to the Covid 19 response, the middle ground is that many people no longer know what to make of Fauci’s words. Last week, the CDC released new guidelines as regards the use of face masks. In the new guidelines vaccinated people (that is those who are two weeks past the final dose of a Covid-19 vaccine) can quit wearing massive outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings and give up social distancing. However, partially vaccinated, or

Last week, the CDC released new guidelines as regards the use of face masks. In the new guidelines vaccinated people (that is those who are two weeks past the final dose of a Covid-19 vaccine) can quit wearing massive outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings and give up social distancing. However, partially vaccinated, or unvaccinated people should continue wearing masks.

Dr. Anthony Fauci who is the Director Of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has come out in complete support of the new guidelines. Dr Fauci who had said a year earlier in an interview on 60 minutes that there was no reason to be walking around with a mask, but had later gone back on this position in support of the wearing of nose masks as proposed by the CDC, excitedly announced to the public that the wearing of face masks are of no use any more.

Even though the new guidelines have caused a lot of relief, quite a number of concerns have also been raised amongst the American people, as well as Fauci’s not so friendly watch dogs, the Senate one of which is Dr Rand Paul. The Senator who was later interviewed by NewsMax TV on Fauci’s announcement. Senator Rand Paul who happened to have doubled down on the CDC’s guidelines as to the use of face mask in preventing the spread of the virus in a face-off with Dr Fauci 2 months ago quickly called out that he considers Fauci’s past actions as theatre, just a show case to support his earlier claims of which he was either reluctant to change or did not have enough medicals facts to.

While a lot of clarity is still needed, Fauci admonishes the American people to ease into the new guidelines saying that “within a period of just a couple of weeks, you are going to start to see significant clarification of some of the understandable and reasonable questions that people are asking.”

Fauci – together with the head of the CDC Rochelle Walensky – claims that the swift change in guidelines over the past weeks have been due to the ‘evolution on the science’. “I am delivering the science as the science is delivered to the medical journals…and it evolved” Walensky said in an interview with FoxNews Sunday.

Walensky who has had her own fair share of Senate one-on-ones is aware that the timing of the CDC’s announcement is quite suspicious. Just days earlier, Walensky had defended the agency’s strick masks guidance in front of a Senate Committee. Questions have risen as to if the easing of these strict regulations are due to political pressure. These fears have however been allayed as Walensky and Anthony claim that the decision is solely based on recent scientific discoveries.

Being someone who is also involved in sciences, I might generally agree with Fauci’s reasons as to the ‘evolution of science’. And if I do, I will agree with the fact that he is doing what he feels is best with the available data. But the question is, can we trust the available data, or are we to expect another evolution soon?
