POSTOPINION 33 Yikes: Fauci’s Back — New York Post, Thursday, July 14, 2022 nypost.com With More Bad Advice C ONTROVERSIAL ex-COVID czar Anthony Fauci reemerged this week to urge that, because of rising infection rates, we consider a re- turn to comprehensive masking protocols. That’s bad health-care policy, because it doesn’t follow the science. No wonder nobody’s lis- tening to Dr. Fauci. Let’s face it: public-health messaging and open, honest debate haven’t been the Good Doctor’s strong suits. He’s the wrong man, at the wrong time, with the wrong advice. But the big problem is a misunderstanding of what’s actually going on. Following large-scale vaccination efforts and the introduction of the various Omicron variants, states and municipalities with more robust masking regulations have not fared better than those with more tar- geted strategies for reducing the prevalence of serious disease.
