One might consider that the viewpoint of a 'hoaxer'...but its really the viewpoint of a UCSF infectious disease expert.
Besides, the San Francisco Chronicle isn't exactly a paragon of anti-science, anti-vax, "hoaxer" perspective.

That’s fine, except that the article offers zero solutions to the problems. That’s called being a hoaxer article. Obviously the solution is not to do nothing either as if everything’s fine. At this point though it’s probably too late to do anything other than just nurse things along until the majority get vaccinated. The time for doing something about it was at the beginning.

Nor does it help when you are allegedly an infectious disease expert yet apparently do not even know how to wear a mask.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing fresh scrutiny for his decision to attend the birthday dinner of a lobbyist earlier this month after photos emerged showing the governor apparently unmasked and in close quarters with a large number of people.
The photos, obtained by Fox 11 Los Angeles and shared on Twitter by reporter Bill Melugin, were circulated widely online on Wednesday.
While Newsom had issued a statement saying he and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom had “followed the restaurant’s health protocols and took safety precautions,” the photo does not depict any social distancing or other precautions the state has urged.

Is this liberal enough for you?

So you’re saying if Fauci wears the mask over his nose you’d listen?
