When he isn't denouncing his country for being systemically racist, Tony Fauci channels his inner Joe Glickman

Shopping for Dr. Tony

Shopping for Dr. Tony

Can’t fool either of them, no matter what Fauci’s foes at the CDC say

The Times reports:

Whenever Joe Glickman heads out for groceries, he places an N95 mask over his face and tugs a cloth mask on top of it. He then pulls on a pair of goggles.

He has used this safety protocol for the past 14 months. It did not change after he contracted the coronavirus last November. It didn’t budge when, earlier this month, he became fully vaccinated. And even though President Biden said on Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask, Mr. Glickman said he planned to stay the course.

In fact, he said, he plans to do his grocery run double-masked and goggled for at least the next five years.

And Doctor Racist Detector is right with him

5/17/21: “Who ya gonna believe, me, or your own lying eyes?”

5/17/21: “Who ya gonna believe, me, or your own lying eyes?”

Just how insane is Mr. Glickman? Having developed at least some natural immunity from his past infection, and full immunity from being double-vaxxed, he dons his protective garb and drives to the supermarket. That simple ride is a million-times riskier than any Chinese Flu he might encounter along the way, yet he persists. Why doesn’t he call for home delivery and stay inside for the next five years?

Circling Back: In fairness, I just DuckDucked Mr.. Glickman and found a Facebook page on which he complains that the NYT edited and sensationalized his comments (no, would the NYT do that?). He still strikes me as whacky, but as he points out, why should what he chooses to do affect the rest of us? Carry on, Joe.
