Beatrice, Artie and Abby discuss the recent resurgence of debates over social distancing guidance in 2020 and 2021 brought on by former NIH Director Anthony Fauci’s comment to Congress that six feet of social distancing “sort of just appeared” and “wasn’t based on data.” We talk through why these recent statements aren’t quite the gotcha they’ve been made out to be and how the arguments that have followed have omitted significant context around the debates over social distancing earlier in the pandemic, instead portraying covid protections as a mistake that came at “enormous cost.”
