'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."

Ivanka got played. She was persuaded in the West Wing to lobby her father to keep the Pandemic Queen while her father was advised to transfer Birx to a windowless basement somewhere.

But I like Ivanka as I see her gaining wisdom. She was baked in a typical NYC liberal oven as a young woman and now she’s declared she’s a republican and supports the GOP.

Like Rudy, she is seeing the light.

I think Ivanka is influenced by the Israeli people as a result of her husband’s missions there. Israelis (I have friends there) ADORE our President. They are as fanatical about POTUS as any of us 100% died in the wool Trump supporters.

So I think Ivanka is seeing the light.

Some will say I am off but I like the trend nevertheless.

OTOH, Glenn Beck? No comment.

"I love my President, and am thankful for his leadership every day. I also like and appreciate Dr. Fauci being at the science head of all this and being a well spoken voice of reason from a science perspective."

_______________________________

Sorry, I say give me, "a well spoken voice of reason from a science perspective" other than this FAUCI FRAUD.

I'd take Professor Irwin Corey right about now.

The only thing we need to know is what meds would Fauci demand if he got CV.

“I’m so smart. Why won’t anyone listen to me?!”

LOL ...... I hear you.

People often have a tough time listening to rather smart people.

It is a sad state of affairs.

Although .......... it would be deeply helpful if wise and intelligent people weren't such bores.

Michael Pollard died last year. He was also in Bonnie and Clyde. Seemed like a very nice fellow.

First of all little Fauci would have no DEMANDS honored.

He will have to stand in line like everyone else.

He used to deliver prescriptions at his father's Brooklyn pharmacy as a child.

TOO DAMN BAD HE COULD NOT DELIVER FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE PRESIDENT AS HE DID FOR HIS FATHER.

Yes... he was a nice guy.

I met him back in the 60's when he played a part on The Andy Griffith Show.

He was actually very intelligent and kind.
