Although Fauci has gained significant immunity to COVID through the vaccine, he's still hesitant to go into places that pose a high risk of transmission, such as indoor restaurants, movie theaters, and bars. When Insider asked the COVID adviser if he'd venture into these destinations, he said, "I don't think I would—even if I'm vaccinated—go into an indoor, crowded place where people are not wearing masks." Places where large groups of people remove their masks "would still be of concern" to him.
