Former FDA Commissioner: "Costly" Social Distancing Mandate "Wasn't Based On Clear Science"

   "Amid the always-fearmongering, always-pessimistic,
   always-more-control-demanded, (and almost always wrong) daily headlines
   from Dr. Fauci, Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb dared to
   speak optimistically about the way forward on Friday:

     "We now know that the vaccines dramatically reduce your chance of
      both contracting COVID and becoming symptomatic to the point where
      you are going to have a bad outcome; we also know it reduces
      asymptomatic disease and reduces transmission... we are seeing that
      in the data."

   The Pfizer board member does hedge a little by suggesting those who are
   high risk should still take precautions.

Former FDA Chief Says Social Distancing Mandate 'Wasn't Based on Clear Science'

  "Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said
   that the six-foot social distancing mandate that was employed across
   much of the United States and the world to deal with the CCP virus
   pandemic "wasn't based on clear science."
   
   "This six-foot distancing requirement has probably been the single
   costliest mitigation tactic that we've employed in response to COVID ...
   and it really wasn't based on clear science. ... We should have
   re-adjudicated this much earlier," he said in an interview with CNBC.
   
   Amid the relaxation of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus
   guidelines—including one from the Centers for Disease Control and
   Prevention (CDC) saying it's safe for schoolchildren to have three-foot
   distancing—Gottlieb suggested that masks may also be safely removed.
   
   "We now know that the vaccines dramatically reduce your chance of both
   contracting COVID and becoming symptomatic to the point where you are
   going to have a bad outcome; we also know it reduces asymptomatic
   disease and reduces transmission ... we are seeing that in the data," he
   said.
   
   Gottlieb also was asked about a public dispute between Dr. Anthony
   Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and
   Infectious Diseases, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who also is a
   physician, about whether masks should be worn after a recipient is
   vaccinated for the CCP virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.
   
   "You're telling everyone to wear a mask," Paul told Fauci, who has
   faced increasing pushback over his statements in the press. "If we're
   not spreading the infection, isn't it just theater? You have the
   vaccine and you're wearing two masks, isn't that theater?"
   
   Fauci responded by saying that "masks are not theater" and that he
   "totally disagree's" with Paul's statement.
   
   Gottlieb said "both [Paul and Fauci] made valid points," but noted that
   "Senator Paul was right, we need to see light at the end of the tunnel
   and have guidance that prescribes an environment where people can start
   doing things again."
   
   CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on March 19 that new studies
   have shown that in schools, three-foot distancing is sufficient if
   other health safeguards are in place. Studies have found that there is
   a low transmission of the virus in schools.
   
   "These include universal and correct use of masks, physical distancing,
   hand washing, and respiratory etiquette, cleaning to maintain healthy
   facilities and diagnostic testing with rapid and efficient contact
   tracing in combination with isolation in quarantine and in
   collaboration with local health departments," Walensky told CNN. "
