I know this isn't his first time making this similar statement, now reinforcing his beliefs.

People that are asymptomatic can still pass along this virus. That was not the intent with these vaccines. They are supposed to "teach" the body what to do, and if one was later presented with the virus, the vaccine will overtake it and attack and eliminate. Well, maybe it tries to overtake and attack, and apparently successful in helping millions. But doesn't appear to be much confidence in the elimination department.

If you can still pick it up, carry it and pass it along to others, well then that's a pretty big deal. Masks will then be around for quite some time and it's going to take much longer to eliminate anything and much more than the usual amounts to reach any herd immunity.

Fauci: Those Vaccinated Must Continue to Wear Masks to Protect Others

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Americans who have been vaccinated need to continue wearing masks to protect others from spreading coronavirus.

Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “We don’t know a lot about how vaccines affect transmission, whether they truly prevent transmission. For people who have been vaccinated, what can they do?”

Fauci said, “Well, you should still be careful, George, that you could conceivably have, because the endpoint of the vaccine efficacy trial is preventing symptomatic disease, which means that potentially theoretically, and maybe, in reality, you’re going to have infection that you don’t get any clinical manifestation, you could be protected from disease and still have the virus, and if that’s the case that’s the reason why you hear all the public health officials say, wear a mask. The reason is, essentially, to protect other people, you may inadvertently infect someone else even though you’re protected. That’s the reason.”
