Just because you are vaccinated, it doesn't mean that life can return to pre-pandemic normal, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over the last week, the nation's leading infectious disease expert has discussed at lengths the things you shouldn't do after being vaccinated. Read on to find out what you should never do after your COVID vaccine per Dr. Fauci—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise. 1 Don't Assume You Are Fully Immune During the April 12 White House COVID-19 Response Team Briefing, Dr. Fauci presented evidence that the majority of vaccines—including COVID—do not offer 100 percent protection against the virus. "If you look at the vaccine group — at the number of breakthroughs over the number of vaccinations — and you see — or the number of breakthroughs, number of infections in the number of people — there are always breakthroughs regardless of what the efficacy of the vaccine is," he said. 2 Don't Assume That You Can't Spread the Virus During an appearance on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Dr. Fauci explained that post-vaccination, you may not know you have COVID because you are asymptomatic, but still spread it to others. "You should still be careful," said Fauci, "you could conceivably have—because the end point of the vaccine efficacy trial is preventing symptomatic disease, which means that potentially theoretically, and maybe in reality, you're going to have infection that you don't get any clinical manifestation. So you could be protected from disease and still have virus. If that's the case, then that's the reason why you hear us all, all the public health officials, saying to wear a mask. And the reason is essentially to protect other people. You may inadvertently infect someone else, even though you are protected." 3 Don't Leave Your Mask at Home During the same briefing, Fauci emphasized that while you don't have to wear a mask at home when you are around vaccinated family members, you need to put one on in public. "When you are in the home — you are vaccinated people — or you have a child, and a grandmother, grandfather, whoever it is — as long as they're in good shape, you don't have to wear a mask. But once you go out into that big bad world out there, where there are a lot of infections going on — 80,000 new infections in one day — that there is an issue there that you've got to be careful with," he said. 4 Don't Spend Time in Public Places Where People Aren't Masked Up In an interview with Insider he revealed that despite being vaccinated, you still won't find him at places like movie theaters or indoor sporting events unless masks are mandated. "I don't think I would—even if I'm vaccinated—go into an indoor, crowded place where people are not wearing masks," Fauci said 5 Don't Travel He also revealed to Insider that travel isn't on his agenda anytime soon. "I don't really see myself going on any fun trips for a while," he said. In fact, other than spending some time in private settings with some of his vaccinated friends, his life isn't changing much since before he and his wife were vaccinated. "If we could just hold on for a while," Fauci said, "we'll reach a point where the protection of the general community by the vaccine would really make it very unlikely that we're going to have another surge."RELATED: Most COVID Patients Did This Before Getting Sick 6 Keep Protecting Yourself and Others So follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—wear a face mask that fits snugly and is double layered, don't travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Jake Paul is denying sexual assault allegations leveled against him by TikTok star Justine Paradise, and says he will be pursuing a defamation suit in response. On Friday, Paradise posted a video to her YouTube channel, spanning nearly 21 minutes, detailing an encounter she had with the YouTuber-turned-fighter more than a year ago. Paradise clarifies in her video that the experience happened “technically the Summer before COVID.” “I feel guilty, even though I was the one assaulted,” Paradise says in the beginning of the video, as to why she didn’t speak out right away. “I was too embarrassed, I was too feeling guilty, even though it’s not my fault.” Also Read: Jake Paul Denies Calling COVID 'a Hoax' -- So Reporter Produces the Receipts Paradise goes on to recount an incident that she claims happened in the bedroom of Paul’s home. According to Paradise, the two were ballroom dancing, and Paul eventually moved things to his bed. Paradise said when Paul put his hands in places on her she did not want, she moved them away, at which point she says Paul asked, “If nothing is going to happen, what’s the point?” She claimed that things escalated despite her telling Paul “no” and the YouTube star allegedly forced her to perform oral sex. “He didn’t ask for consent or anything,” Paradise alleged. “That’s not okay. On no level at all is that okay.” On Wednesday, Paul responded, vehemently denying Paradise’s claims. “Sexual assault accusations aren’t something that I, or anyone should ever take lightly, but to be crystal clear, this claim made against me is 100% false,” Paul posted in a statement on Twitter. Also Read: FBI Raid YouTube Star Jake Paul's California Mansion “Not only have I never had any sexual relationship with this individual, but this claim is solely a manufactured accusation and a blatant attempt for attention during a highly visible fight week. Make no mistake, I plan on pursuing this defamation of character case to the fullest extent of the law. There are irreparable damages from these types of accusations, and more importantly, false allegations of this nature diminish those who have truly been victims of misconduct.” Paul goes on to accuse Paradise of making the video to “promote her adult content website and Amazon shopping list — designed for people to buy her gifts” and claims she is speaking out now because Paul has a fight this week. “At the time of her story I was in a relationship, and as someone who was a momma’s boy growing up, I respect women and mothers more than anything,” Paul continued. “I most certainly have never laid a finger on a girl without their consent.” Read original story Jake Paul Denies Sexual Assault Accusations: ‘I Most Certainly Have Never Laid a Finger on a Girl Without Their Consent” At TheWrap
