'I know, but what do you want me to do?': Fauci's strikingly honest review of Trump's coronavirus response
thehour.com ^ | 3/23/20 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 03/24/2020 1:56:17 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

Dr. Anthony Fauci's interview with Science magazine began on an inauspicious note. Asked how he's doing right now, Fauci said he was "exhausted" but "good." "I mean, I'm not, to my knowledge, coronavirus-infected," he said, before adding with a laugh: "To my knowledge, I haven't been fired."

What followed were several exchanges that should help people take stock of President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus. Repeatedly, Fauci tacitly and even openly admitted that comments made by the commander in chief are not true and are not in line with what the nation's leading infectious disease expert is advising.

The interviewer, Jon Cohen, asked whether Fauci would acknowledge that Trump says things he disagrees with, and Fauci seemed to grant the premise. Fauci maintained that, "I don't disagree on the substance" - but then added: "It is expressed in a way that I would not express it, because it could lead to some misunderstanding about what the facts are about a given subject."

The exchange highlights the mixed messages the country has been getting in recent days, in particular, about the promise of certain drugs to treat coronavirus. While Fauci has warned that evidence of the drugs' effectiveness is "anecdotal" and that there is no "magic drug" to treat coronavirus, Trump said Friday that he "disagreed" with Fauci, at least in part, and has repeatedly hailed a malaria drug in particular as a possible "game-changer."

Asked about the White House holding crowded events like a Rose Garden news conference in which Trump was shaking hands with people, Fauci admitted he has repeatedly advised against it. "I keep saying, is there any way we can get a virtual news conference. Thus far, no," Fauci said. "I'm trying my best. I cannot do the impossible."

“Dr. Nancy Messonnier [Coronavirus Distribution Center (CDC)]: ‘My brother and I are the medical and legal “insurance” to take out Trump and most of the American people for Obama and Hillary.’”

What?!? Did she really say that or is it fake news?

“Apparently Fauci was was the uninformed one, not President Trump”

He WAS/IS informed, however, his agenda makes it necessary for him to lie. As I’ve posted before, by Mencken: “Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.” He’s got other things going on, most likely with big pharma. If chloroquine/hydroxychlorquine is effective, he loses, even though Americans live.

“Fauci misinformed the American people.”
Yes.

POTUS is on to him.

POTUS knows Fauci is part of the vaccine lobby and the vaccine patents are owned by a little eugenicist prick named Bill Gates.

Fauci does not want Cloroquine-Azithromycin combination treatment which is NOT a vaccine.

As Americans, we got a problem on the inside bigtime.

We’ve known it for years and years but now it’s coming out in the open.

Pandemic Queen Birx too.

She was caught transferring tens of millions in new funds to Impeachment Princess Marie Yovanovitch before the Princess was sacked. Transferring the new funds smack in the middle of impeachment, Birx showed what she really was.

She’s tight with Fauci — her “mentor”.

“Fauci is yet another person that President Donald Trump has exposed. I love it!”

What are the odds that The Troll announces his retirement before the end of April?

“My husband is an engineer, but he also knows how to talk to people.”

A lot like my husband, a Physicist, who’s so good at his job a top guy at DOD once called him a “national treasure”. BUT he also interacts like a regular guy. Our minister didn’t know he was a doctor for a couple years; neither did my mom. He doesn’t flaunt/use the title. He’s just regular.

Smug little Fauci glories in the status and title, and lords it over everyone he meets.

I wonder if POTUS knows.

Well said.

Unfortunately, as time passes, it becomes clearer just how much of a Deep State creature Dr. Fauci is. It is reinforced by his refusal to acknowledge any glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. He appears to be not only aboard the there is no immediate hope train, but is the conductor, who wishes to insure that the train crashes right through the station.

Dear Lord, guide and strengthen PDJT.

Life lesson for anyone who might benefit from it, especially young people:

"Don't upstage the boss, particularly if he has been known to fire people and especially if he is President of the United States."

He’s “exhausted” and in the middle of a crisis, but he has plenty of time for interviews.

President should do these pressers outside not in a crowded press room. People could spread out further and not breathe on each other.

Set up an outside tent even. Crazy to do these inside the whitehouse in a small room.

the President should somehow bring Prof John Ioannidis of Stanford into the picture. let Fauci debate him and see what happens. Fauci is not infallible.

We can unite and come together and forget about wealth for a few weeks. Let those with no dignity scrum for lucre. Remember who they were when it is over. The wealth of this country is being thrown in the air. Watch the behavior of those about you who shamefully embarrass themselves and remember. The lack of dignity is “beneath contempt”. Those with calm resolution will face the future with confidence understanding what has happened and why. Reprehensible behavior should be noted and punished. This nation is being “sifted”.

You should be posting at DU.

Thank God for regular guys like our husbands.

Fauci and others like him could learn a thing or two from our husbands.
