Fauci: US Must Study Data Before Deciding on Travel Ban Over New Covid-19 Variant
Thompson/Reuters ^ | Reuters

Top U.S. infectious disease official Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Friday that a ban on flights from southern Africa was a possibility and the United States was rushing to gather data on the new COVID-19 variant. No decision to halt flights had yet been made, he said.

OK, now South Africa has an outbreak of a very deadly variant... severe enough that the UK has banned travel to/from South Africa and surrounding areas yet Fauci says we we need wait and see, study data and continue to allow travel to US. After all, there is no evidence this variant is in the US. So yes, it makes sense to wait until it gets here - it only takes 1 infected person to bring this variant into the US. Recall AIDS was introduced by 1 person ! Fauci has to go for so many reasons - this is just one more !!

There’s no evidence there’s actually a variant.

Recall that Trump was immediately called a xenophobe for such a ban.

Open borders only for hordes coming from Latin America and elsewhere.

Faucolini talking up some supposed new variant means that Delta (TM) has lost its shine.

Call me callous if you choose, but I admit that I wake up early each day hoping that it will be a day of celebration in America ... that Fauci is no longer involved in this life.

Then, when I accept that Fauci, as evil as he is, is still breathing I just pack away the bunting, the party hats, the drinks and the fireworks that I set out the night before to await that glorious day when it finally arrives.

It’s time to panic...again. Put on the masks, maybe two, social distance, but the good news is KEEP USING THE SAME VACCINES! (Because we are baked up on inventory.)

No worries. They can fly to Mexico City and walk across without being tested.

And then was criticized for NOT banning more flights.

Wait... A new "variant?"

Let me guess... Travel bans or restrictions. Renewed mask mandates, renewed closures of indoor activities, take away more from the un-vaccinated, roll out yet another booster.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

This nonsense will not stop until we stop it. We cannot simply wait it out. Those in power, claiming illegal and un-Constitutional powers for themselves like it and will not stop on their own. They will attempt to expand these powers as far as possible, and extend them for as long as possible. Now is long enough. We need to end this BS, like yesterday.

The powers that be are FEROCIOUSLY opposed to international travel restrictions for public health purposes.

When SARS was still only in China, Bush’s head of CDC was asked about banning flights from China, and she said something along the lines of “the only thing worse than SARS would be losing our diversity”.

And, by the way, the correct way to quarantine a country like SA is not to prevent arrivals - it’s to prevent departures.

If there are 3 747s from Johannesburg circling Atlanta and running low on fuel, we won’t be shooting them down.

Fauci is the mouthpiece for people whose names you are not allowed to know.

The idea that he is a policymaker is ridiculous.

“There’s no evidence there’s actually a variant.”

There doesn’t actually have to be a variant to raise the fear level.

But the message is always the same.
“Do what you are told”

Socialism: “Do what you are told or you will go to prison”
Communism: “Do what you are told or you will be shot”

Other countries are taking sensible precautions, why aren’t we? Admittedly, with our porous Southern border as an entry point for folks from all over the world…

Sigh…

Time to start sewing masks again, because this administration is listening to the lefty looneys, and banning anyone from a developing world nation is unthinkable with that bunch, and then on the other side you have the antivax looneys, led by RFK, Jr. so yeah, the freaking Left again!

They sure must have created quite the virus in that lab. How many mutations do we have now?
