Dr. Anthony Fauci says the U.S. is headed in the 'wrong direction' on the pandemic and the CDC is considering recommending that vaccinated people wear masks in public. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, says he's 'very frustrated.'
``We’re going in the wrong direction,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, describing himself as ``very frustrated.”
He said recommending that the vaccinated wear masks is ``under active consideration” by the government’s leading public health officials. Also, booster shots may be suggested for people with suppressed immune systems who have been vaccinated, Fauci said. Fauci, who also serves President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that he has taken part in conversations about altering the mask guidelines.
He noted that some local jurisdictions where infection rates are surging, such as Los Angeles County, are already calling on individuals to wear masks in public regardless of vaccination status. Fauci said those local rules are compatible with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation that the vaccinated do not need to wear masks in public.Nearly 163 million people, or 49% of the eligible U.S. population, are vaccinated, according to CDC data.
“This is an issue predominantly among the unvaccinated, which is the reason why we’re out there, practically pleading with the unvaccinated people to go out and get vaccinated,” Fauci said.
