Dr. Fauci is on the cover of this month's InStyle magazine, being the total icon that he is.
His wife, Dr. Christine Grady, also joins the interview and the two of them talk about how they take three-mile power walks every day to stay in shape. When asked about mask-wearing, which is now required in many national retailers, Dr. Grady offers her thoughts on why fighting the mask issue is dumb AF .
“Well, I would say that masks shouldn’t be divisive,” she says. “It’s a relatively easy way to protect one’s self and others. And so for public health reasons, I think everybody should do it. From an ethical perspective there is always this tension between what you ask people to do that feels like a restriction of their liberty and what is required for public health. And in this case, it seems like a slam dunk. It’s not restricting liberty much, and it’s very helpful for public health.
When questioned about his “masks aren’t necessary” stance from the early days of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci let O’Donnell know that as we learn more, we know more. Oh, and also that the no-mask thing was a directive from the Trump administration. “We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm’s way every day to take care of sick people,” he explained. He says once they realized there wasn’t a drastic shortage of PPE and that cloth/homemade masks were effective, his advice changed. “So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing.
That’s how science works, folks. Wear your masks, wash your hands, listen to Dr. Fauci, and enjoy this magazine cover because it’s utterly delightful.
