Fox News contributor Lara Trump responds to Dr. Fauci claiming masks should continue to be worn by schoolchildren despite the decline in case numbers
Lara Trump said on "Fox & Friends First" Friday that it's time for American schoolchildren to be allowed to attend school without masks if their parents choose. Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday it may be premature and "risky" to take the masks off of children.
'THE VIEW'S' JOY BEHAR SAYS SHE WILL WEAR A MASK 'INDEFINITELY' IN PUBLIC PLACES
LARA TRUMP: We know the science, we know that if you compare schools that were masked and unmasked throughout the entire pandemic, there is virtually no difference in COVID transmissions. … It's time to take the masks off our kids. The reason Dr. Fauci is not too big on rolling the masks back now totally for kids is what is he going to do after the pandemic? What magazine covers is he going to grace? Who's going to want to give him an interview? He's really enjoying riding high over the past two years of this pandemic as the king. I think he knows when it's over, nobody's going to have time for him. So maybe he's trying to extend it out a little bit. Regardless, get the masks off our kids. It is absolutely time, it's over.
