Several of the top, you know, CEOs of the top airlines said that on an airplane, you are actually safer than you are in an ICU, the protection with the filtration system they have. They were suggesting there really isn’t much of a need for a mask on an airplane. Are we going to get to the point where we won’t have to wear masks on airplanes?</p> <figure id="D-ROS-B1" class="a8d"></figure> <figure id="M-ROS-B1" class="a8d"></figure> <figure id="gmxrevmore" class="H"></figure> <p>Fauci said, “I don’t think so. I think when you’re dealing with a closed space, even though the filtration is good, that you want to go that extra step. When you have people, you know, you get a flight from Washington to San Francisco. It’s well over a five-hour flight, so even though you have a good filtration system, I still believe that masks are a prudent thing to do, and we should be doing it.”</p> <p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/pamkeyNEN" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@pamkeyNEN</a></em></p> </p></div> <footer> <p class="rmoreabt"><a href="/clips/">Clips</a><a href="/health/">Health</a><a href="/politics/">Politics</a><a href="/tag/abc/">ABC</a><a href="/tag/american-airlines/">American Airlines</a><a href="/tag/anthony-fauci/">Anthony Fauci</a><a href="/tag/coronavirus/">coronavirus</a><a href="/tag/jon-karl/">Jon Karl</a><a href="/tag/mask-mandates/">mask mandates</a><a class="lst" href="/tag/masks/">masks</a></p> <aside id="social-share-inline" class="bnn-social-share"> <a role="button" class="button_twitter" href="#" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow"></a><br /> <a role="button" class="button_facebook" href="#" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow"><em></em></a><br /> </aside> </footer> <aside> <figure id="gmx-rev-below"></figure> </aside> <section id="comments"> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Breitbart" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>.</p> <p>Please <a href="/contact-us/comment-feedback/" rel="nofollow">let us know</a> if you’re having issues with commenting.</p> <div id="disqus_thread"></div> </section> <p> <script>var disqus_identifier='19189314',disqus_title="Fauci on if Wearing Masks on Airplanes Will End: ‘I Don’t Think So’",disqus_url='https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/12/19/fauci-on-if-wearing-masks-on-airplanes-will-end-i-dont-think-so/'</script><br /> </p> <aside id="SideW"> <figure id="ROS-R1" class="a8d"></figure> <figure id="bnnpolls" class="H"></figure> <section id="bsocial" class="SWW"> <h2><i></i>SOCIAL<a href="https://store.breitbart.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" title="Shop the Official Breitbart Store!" target="_blank"></a></h2> <div> <div class="sbi"> <a class="fb" href="https://www.facebook.com/Breitbart/" title="Breitbart on Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <a class="tw" href="https://twitter.com/intent/follow?region=follow_link&screen_name=BreitbartNews&tw_p=followbutton" title="Breitbart on Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <a class="ig" href="https://www.instagram.com/b_inspired_news/" title="Breitbart on Instagram" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <a class="yt" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmgnsaQIK1IR808Ebde-ssA" title="Breitbart on YouTube" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> </div> </p></div> </section> <figure id="gmx-rev-sidebar" class="H"></figure> <figure id="ROS-R2" class="a8d"></figure> <section id="DQSW"> <h2>MOST POPULAR</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/19/democrats-media-hollywood-and-never-trump-freak-out-after-joe-manchin-says-no-to-build-back-better/" title="Democrats, Media, Hollywood, and Never Trump Freak Out After Joe Manchin Says ‘No’ to ‘Build Back Better’" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" width="200" height="150" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2021/07/GettyImages-1320525424-200x150.jpg" alt="Democrats, Media Freak Out After Manchin Says 'No' to BBB" title="Democrats, Media, Hollywood, and Never Trump Freak Out After Joe Manchin Says ‘No’ to ‘Build Back Better’" data-qazy /><em>Democrats, Media Freak Out After Manchin Says 'No' to BBB</em><span data-dsqu="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/19/democrats-media-hollywood-and-never-trump-freak-out-after-joe-manchin-says-no-to-build-back-better/" data-dsqi="19188290" data-fbc="3937"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/12/19/dem-rep-omar-manchins-excuses-complete-bullsh-t-he-cant-be-trusted/" title="Dem Rep.
