Actor Dennis Quaid is not going to be cancelled by The Cancel Culture. An angry Quaid has posted a video to Instagram defending his PSA interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci about the importance of wearing masks and how the pandemic is going.

The conversation between him and Fauci is on his podcast, called “The Dennis-ance.
