Fauci's 'get over this political statement' comment on vaccines gets panned
Fox News ^ | 7/8/21 | Edmund DeMarche

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top disease expert in the U.S., drew ire on social media Wednesday when critics said he seemed to write off vaccine hesitancy as a purely political statement.

Fauci gave an interview to MSNBC and talked about how important it is for Americans to get vaccinated. He said vaccines help protect the person receiving the jab, as well as family members and the community. He expressed frustration with those who continue to refuse the shots that he called highly effective and safe.

"You’ve gotta ask: What is the problem?" he said. "Get over it. Get over this political statement. Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family."

Fauci, as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has tried to portray himself as an apolitical figure tasked only with preventing as many deaths from the virus as possible. His supporters have praised him for his magnanimity in the effort, and he even once said that an attack on him is like an attack on science itself.

His detractors seized on his "get over it" comment and saw it as a flash of his contempt for Americans who question his authority. Many point out that the vaccines are still being used under Emergency Use Authorization.

"My advice to Fauci: get over it. If you don’t want the vaccine you have the right to make that decision," one Twitter commenter said. "If you have the vaccine you shouldn’t care."

Radio host Dana Loesch, taking Fauci to task for his changing positions on mask-wearing, tweeted, "Maybe if he hadn’t lied to everyone about masks people would be more receptive to believing him."

Fauci's NIAID did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

Got my Ivermectin. Got my Zinc. Got my Vitamin D. Got my Vitamin C. What more do I need?

Don’t F-— With My DNA. How often do I need to say that?

from ZH: The US has gone full Soviet. Spying on the press. Mass censorship. Prison for dissidents with no bail. Rigged elections. Medical tyranny. Public indoctrination centers for kids.

""You’ve gotta ask: What is the problem?""

The problem, Herr Doctor, is that we are CITIZENS, not subjects that you can so glibly dismiss.

Now that the CCP water carries have cried wolf, and the dutiful citizens are all vaxxed up, why do I get the feeling they’re preparing to release a juiced up version of C19 to knock us #Resistors out for good. Absolutely nothing is off the table with these psychos.

SOMEONE needs to convince the expectant mothers of the massive number of miscarriages in the UK.

The rise in miscarriages there was 486%.

That is WAY OFF THE CHARTS.

All ‘mothers to be’ were vaccinated.

Really? I mean, to his credit, he did say once last year he wasn't against recommending HCQ to fight this thing, but as far as I know, he hasn't done more than lip service for that or Ivermectin.

Coronavirus PING!

I would like someone to ask him on camera “Who is liable if the ‘safe and effective’ vaccine has side effects like Thalidomide?”

Then I’d like the person to drop kick Fauci’s wrinkled skin bag through a goal post.

I got the shot, but if somebody pulled a stunt like that, I would be more than happy to recommend for him:

This tyrannical Rat Bastard does not understand the concept of personal liberty.

If they can use the tools of government to force you to have a needle inserted into your body, there is NOTHING they cannot force you to do.

Since FauxChi invented the disease, how do we know the vaccine isn’t a time bomb weapon of mass destruction? How do we know that the MRNA isn’t designed to weaken us against a different virus that has been developed to wipe out western civilization?

Stage one - release a man made virus - relatively harmless

Stage two - create a mass hysteria about the virus

Stage three- release a vaccine that messes up your DNA

Stage. Four - release the virus that targets only the vaccinated.

I’ll take my chances with the disease.
