Despite the endless mocking, what Dr. Fauci is saying is not stupid. His problem is his dogged determination not to take a leadership role that has been thrust upon him, and his insistence on being a lab coat and nothing more, while also basking in the glory of media attention.

Dr. Fauci's problem is about never answering a simple question in a meaningful way, and always coming across as evasive. It's incumbent upon him to answer the question: "What conditions will have to be met for him to feel comfortable to recommend cessation of a mask requirement?"
I would find any of the following kind of answers as thoughtful and helpful to general public with regard to cessation of a mask requirement:
a) When xxx% of Americans have been vaccinated
b) When Covid death and/or hospitalization rate falls below xxx%
c) ...

Dr. Fauci should show some willingness to entertain an end to a mask requirement in a reasonable time frame this year, even if accompanied by some caveats regarding variants. He does the opposite. He seems to say masks as long as there is a single solitary coronavirus anywhere.
That's not leadership. That's insane technocratism and unhelpful nonsense that just induces many people in effect to stop listening to him. It's like advising people not to fly until 100% safe airplanes are invented, and there is a guarantee no human mistakes will ever be made.
