CAPE GAZETTE | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sara Ford and Charlotte King
July 23, 2021
Summertime at Rehoboth Beach. People from all walks of life fill the streets, sit on the beaches with friends, family, walk the Boardwalk, enjoying Boardwalk food, maybe stopping off at Funland. There is an exception to this idyllic image, the moment one passes a store with a doll of Dr. Anthony Fauci hanging from a surgical mask on public display.
First, this particular doll is a symbol that supports non-compliance with public policy. Except for the brief period when no one yet understood COVID-19’s form of contagion, particles from our mouths, Dr. Fauci has pleaded with the nation to wear masks. Immediately there arose the cry of individual rights. Yet mask wearing is really about every individual’s right, their right to live. By wearing a mask, a person is taking care of others around him or her. It is a highly effective means of controlling the spread of COVID, which has killed over 600,000 people in the U.S. so far. Dr. Fauci is the spokesperson for mask-wearing. Putting this symbol in a toy display deliberately defies his pleas to do something that is for all public good.
