What Would Fauci Do?

Anthony Fauci told Insider how his behavior has and hasn't changed since getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

🚨 Spoiler alert: Indoor restaurants are still a no.

When Dr. Fauci and his wife did gather with their neighbors pre-vaccine, they took no chances.

The households stayed socially distanced and outdoors, even in the fall and winter when the weather got chilly.

Dr. Fauci got his first shot on December 22. After being fully vaccinated, Fauci said he's changed his behavior — but only slightly.

The biggest shift is that he and his neighbors have finally moved the party indoors.

But Dr. Fauci doesn't see being vaccinated as a green light to resume the myriad of activities he and the rest of us have been deprived of.

Movie theaters where viewers remove their masks to snack on popcorn?

❌ It's a no for Dr. Fauci. "That would still be of concern to me," he said.

Bars and restaurants where maskless people are eating and drinking inside?

❌ Fauci said those are still off the table, too.

What about travel?

❌ Even though the @CDCgov said that vaccinated Americans can travel domestically, Fauci won't be planning trips.

"I don't see that in my life," he said. "When this is all over, then I'll worry about that."

Fauci said it's important for all Americans — both vaccinated and unvaccinated — to continue avoiding crowds and socially distancing until we know for sure that vaccinated people don't spread the virus.

Patience will "keep a lid" on cases, he said.

businessinsider.com/vaccines-reduc…
For now, Fauci's maintaining most of his pre-vaccine behavior.

His caution stems from the crossroads at which the US sits: Despite record vaccinations, the number of new infections is still rising in 18 states.

There’s a new coronavirus variant traveling around this summer at a record clip.

We spoke to public-health experts about how concerned you should be about the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron, on a scale of 1 to 10, and how to avoid it. ⬇️

It’s getting trickier to avoid a COVID-19 infection altogether.

BA.5 is strategically evading our built-up defenses against prior versions of the virus, which means that reinfections — even in vaccinated and recently infected people — are way up. businessinsider.com/covid-variant-…

The reversal of Roe v. Wade doesn’t just mean that abortions will be harder to come by. It also means that data about abortions will be harder to come by.

And that means we won't know how the decision is actually affecting people, @jetjocko reports. ⬇️

That isn't the only way to have the fight.
