Dr Anthony Fauci has criticized the decision to hold last week's maskless White House Correspondents' Dinner fearing that Americans might take it as a sure sign the pandemic is over and Covid no longer a serious threat.
The nation's top infectious disease doctor shared his frustrations on a phone call with public health experts earlier this week saying he was 'miffed' stressing he was worried that people were losing sight of protecting those who are still most vulnerable when it comes to Covid.
Fauci then used the WHCA dinner, which was attended by President Joe Biden, as a prime example.
Thousands of guests including dozens of other administration officials all attended the event which was held at the Washington Hilton ballroom.
Yet just hours earlier, Fauci was spotted cozying up to CNN host Don Lennon at a White House Correspondents' Dinner pre-party without a mask in sight.
