Lingering fears in removing mask ‘understandable,’ Fauci, Walensky say
Fox News
As fully vaccinated populations navigate new federal guidance dropping mask use and physical distancing indoors and outdoors in most settings, top officials with the White House COVID-19 Response Team say some lingering fears are rational, and the recommendations will take some getting used to.
"I would say that fears like that are not irrational," Fauci said. "It’s understandable when you’re used to a certain type of behavior, and then when the science says that you can actually turn around that…You can understand when people have been following a certain trend for a considerable period of time, that it may take time for them to adjust." Walensky said the agency has acknowledged that Americans will have to move at their own pace.More Related News
