Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., presented Dr. Anthony Fauci with a “real-life scenario” regarding Covid testing requirements currently playing out in America, and, as usual, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease had no answer for the dilemma.

Testifying before a Labor, Health and Human Services subcommittee hearing in the Senate, Fauci was asked by Rubio if “we are at a point now where American citizens should be allowed to return to their country without testing negative?”

“Dr. Fauci, I’m running into something that’s pretty interesting. I believe the United States is the only major Western country that now requires its citizens to test negative for COVID before they can get on an airplane and reenter the country,” Rubio said, in setting up his question. “I believe that’s accurate. On the other hand, we’re hearing now that…Title 42, which is a COVID-era policy, should be lifted, because we’ve reached a point now where COVID is manageable or [is] at a level [where] we no longer need Title 42.”
