REDMOND, WA - In what many call a "science miracle," a mask worn by four-year-old Addison Stephens developed a stain that some say looks just like Dr. Anthony Fauci.
"I was so surprised when I saw it," said Delores Stephens, the mother of Addison. After the Stephenses returned home from Addison's weekly allotted outside time, Delores instantly saw the stain on the mask and exclaimed, "There is our savior!"
News spread quickly, and now thousands are coming to see the mask with the face of Fauci on it, though all the gathered worshipers are masking up and staying socially distanced. And only the vaccinated are allowed to approach the mask.
"I think science is trying to communicate with us through it," said school teacher Robyn Copeland, who traveled one thousand miles - driving a car alone while masked - to see the miraculous image of Fauci.
As for the boy who wore the mask, Addison was asked how he thinks the face of Fauci appeared, and he said it was from "eating a popsicle, and I forgot I had a mask." He also added that the mask "should go in the garbage. Masks are garbage."
Citing concerns about stiff competition from Amazon and an impossible-to-please Gen Z, Santa has announced he's hanging up the hat for good.
