<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci says people who are fully vaccinated might &#8220;want to consider&#8221; once again donning a mask indoors amid the spreading Delta coronavirus variant of COVID-19.</p>
<p>Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on former President Trump&#8217;s White House Coronavirus Task Force and is now President Biden&#8217;s chief medical adviser on COVID-19, said on CNBC that &#8220;if you want to go the extra mile of safety even though you&#8217;re vaccinated when you&#8217;re indoors, particularly in crowded places, you might want to consider wearing a mask.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fauci&#8217;s comments echo remarks he made earlier this month, when he told MSNBC that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fauci-wear-a-mask-even-if-youre-vaccinated">vaccinated people</a> should consider masking-up if they&#8217;re in an area with high COVID-19 transmission. At the time, he also characterized doing so as going &#8220;the extra mile.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his CNBC appearance, the doctor also said the Delta variant is more infectious. &#8220;This virus is clearly different than the viruses and the variants that we&#8217;ve had experience with before. It has an extraordinary capability of transmitting from person to person,&#8221; Fauci said.</p>
<p>The variant currently accounts for 83% of all new infections in the US., according to the CDC. On Wednesday, the U.S. recorded 52,032 new COVID-19 cases, <a class="link rapid-noclick-resp" href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/united-states" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ylk="slk:according to Johns Hopkins University." data-rapid_p="26" data-v9y="1">according </a>to Johns Hopkins University.</p>
<p>Fauci&#8217;s advice doesn&#8217;t align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which says that fully vaccinated people don&#8217;t need to wear masks except for very specific situations, such as when required by law.</p>
<p>But Dr. Jerome Adams, former Surgeon General, <a class="link rapid-noclick-resp" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-surgeon-general-new-cdc-chief-wrong-to-lift-mask-mandate-2021-7?utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ylk="slk:said Sunday" data-rapid_p="27" data-v9y="1">said</a> Sunday that &#8220;the emerging data suggests CDC should be advising to vax it and mask it.&#8221; Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) <a class="link rapid-noclick-resp" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-who-fully-vaccinated-wear-masks-2021-6?utm_source=yahoo.com&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ylk="slk:said June 26" data-rapid_p="28" data-v9y="1">said</a> in late June that fully-vaccinated people should wear masks in public settings.</p>
<p>Fauci has gone back and forth on masks. First he said Americans didn’t need to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Then he said wear a mask. Then he said wear two masks. And now he insists everyone should wear a mask.</p>
<p>Back in March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) was telling everyone it was mostly surface transmission, Fauci declared, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”</p>
<p>“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,” the doctor said on CBS News.</p>
<p>In February, Fauci said that wearing two masks is likely more effective than wearing one.</p>
<p>“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” Fauci told NBC News.</p>
<p>Fauci in May flip-flopped yet again on masks, admitting on “Good Morning America” that it <em>was</em> merely political theater for him to wear a mask even after he’s been fully vaccinated.</p>
<p>&#8220;Before the CDC made the recommendation change, 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 told host George Stephanopoulos.</p>
