Dr. Anthony Fauci called the move of many states and municipalities to remove school mask mandates"understandable" but"risky."

"We could get lucky," he said in a clip aired by CNN on Thursday."It very well may be that if you take masks off the kids in the next week or so, it's going to keep going down.""Despite science, Dr. Fauci claims 'it is risky' to stop forcing kids to wear face masks. 'It’s understandable why people want to take masks off the kids. But, right now, given the level of activity that we have, it is risky,'" Grabien founder Tom Elliott wrote in a tweet.

His comments come as several blue states moved to end statewide mask mandates, citing declines in cases of COVID-19.
