Anthony Fauci, the top US infectious diseases expert, has warned that baseless conspiracy theories are swirling around the coronavirus crisis following claims that Americas official death toll from Covid-19 has been overstated.
Fauci, who has been director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, said he had seen unfounded conjecture attach itself to previous crises and dismissed the emerging idea, largely promoted by high-profile figures in rightwing media, that the USs Covid-19 death toll is being inflated by unrelated medical conditions.
There is absolutely no evidence that thats the case at all, Fauci told NBC on Thursday. I think it falls under the category of something thats very unfortunate these conspiracy theories that we hear about. Any time we have a crisis of any sort there is always this popping up of conspiracy theories.

Isn’t this the same dude who told us we didn’t have to worry about this mess back in February??
Listen to Don Fanucci.
Dr Faustus, it means “we the people” no longer trust our government or the media . . . for damned good reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By his own statements Dr. Fauci does not understand economics.
The cause for case inflation is economic. States and hospitals cashing in because Uncle Sugar is reimbursing them.
That’s not a conspiacy, it’s been going on for a long time. My great-uncle was classified as a tobacco death by New York State because he chewed snuff. He was 94. That was nearly twenty years ago.
What an absurd statement for a supposed scientist to make.
It is very difficult to prove a negative, which is what he is demanding.
The very nature of the statistics we are getting makes the definition of "Covid-19 deaths" uncertain and subject to a high variability.
When a scientist uses the word "absolutely", they are almost always wrong.
“Dr.” Fauci ... the epitome of fake news in the medical field.
claims that Americas official death toll from Covid-19 has been overstated.
***************
It probably has been somewhat overstated. It may not be a conspiracy per se, but it might be a reflection of organizational biases and agendas at work. In other words, there’s probably an inclination to be liberal with the numbers because its benefical in terms of getting more funding. There’s not an organization or bureaucracy on the planet that doesn’t want more money.
This is the same dude who presented his pandemic vaccine in Oct. at Event 201.
When a scientist uses the word “absolutely”, they are almost always wrong.
**************
Is he a scientist or a bureaucrat? 36 years in the same job suggests the latter.
His ass and reputation are on the line, and he doesn't want to become the so-called fall guy.
Promote The Scarf to Fauci's spot, but send her back to the kitchen to cook a vaccine.
Open the United States.
It's that simple.
How are people dying out of hospitals making anyone (except funeral homes) any money?
I keep seeing this crap posted. Medicare is not paying anyone a penny for a death outside a hospital.
You people are spewing the first thought that comes into your heads without checking it at all.
Fraud Fauci has that WHACKO RACIST at the NIH doing research for a Corona virus vaccine...our govt is chock full of bumbling bureaucrats!!!
this right here proves he’s a full blown liar as we know for a fact many deaths are being categorized as CV without ever being tested!!!!
States and Politicians and Hospitals and Pharma Industry all have good reason to overstate deaths ... reasons which do not involve an evil conspiracy. Do they talk, and reinforce each other since they share common interests? Of course! Is that a conspiracy? No ... no more than a locust swarm is a conspiracy of locusts. It's more an expression of nature.
Hospitals are required to treat people, even if indigent and uninsured. Generally they end up eating those costs so they do everything they can to avoid that situation. (this is why Michelle Obama had a $300K per year job redirecting such patients to other hospitals).
Hospitals are seeing this as a golden opportunity to clear their books of these cases by collecting COVID reimbursement.
Too many people in this country are in denial over the fact that healthcare is a bidness.
They recently adjusted it down again from 68 to 60k.
