White House medical advisor and epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci shared his concerns about South Dakota's upcoming Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on Sunday's "Meet the Press," subtly rebuking attendees as host Chuck Todd appeared to suggest it could be another coronavirus "super spreader" event.

"I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.

While Fauci said it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," he suggested that rally goers think of the greater good that could come from staying home.

"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, urged.

"You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on," Fauci continued. "I mean, something bad is going on."

Social media users were none too happy with Fauci's advice.

"Yeah, no," tweeted RedState's Becca Lower. "We should not have unelected bureaucrats telling us what our rights are, period!"

Several other critics noted that while the media seemed preoccupied with Sturgis, they have largely ignored Chicago's Lollapalooza festival and President Obama's birthday celebration over the weekend, where he was seen dancing maskless in a crowded tent. The images surfaced after his office claimed that the party would be "scaled back" for close friends and family following backlash last week.

I have come to loathe Fauci. I cannot believe I fell for this fraud for even a minute.

Lollapalooza: Nothing.

Obama birthday party: Nothing.

No comment from St. Fauci on Obama’s soirée last night with a few hundred of his closest friends - or how about Lollapalooza last week in Chicago 🤔 Or, I guess it’s SELECTIVE festivities, because the virus knows, and only attacks those who fit the Dems’ narrative 🙄 https://t.co/AcmoAvQs7T— Sarah Johnson (@SarahJohnsonPR) August 8, 2021

I recommend that Fauci go to Sturgis and tell them in person.

[Gene Eric]

Fauci is a scumbag.

[who knows what evil?]

More pointless opines from the dog-killer...

[HollyB]

Did he comment about Obama’s super spreader event ?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The political hack then has the audacity to publicly wonder why people think he’s a political hack.

[Truth29]

Meanwhile, is Fauci trying to get even more Covid positive illegals across the border and some sent to Sturgis? Fauci and the CCP are equally enemies of America.

[SuzyQue]

I get much amusement thinking about what the Sturgis attendees would tell Fauxi in return....if they even ever think about him.

Pure socialism - "for the greater good."

Of course the state gets to decide what is in the best interests of the state - for the greater good.

[joma89]

Did the liar fauci say the same to obama?

[Paladin2]

The existential Public Crisis is Fauxcy, CDC and NIH.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No mention of the Obama superspreader event.

[Artemis Webb]

Yeah, the “for the greater good” line stuck in my crawl too.

[ThunderSleeps]

I recommend that Fauci go to Sturgis and tell them in person.

You know, my HD isn't set up for long-haul riding (suspension, exhaust are ... ah ... "aggressive"). But I would ride it to Sturgis to see that. ;-)

[Paladin2]

Did Fauxcy attend?

He needs to prove that he didn’t.

[Mariner]

The days of some people telling everyone else what’s good for them, or good for the collective...and then undertaking to exact compliance...are friggin’ over.

I celebrate the Sturgis Rally.

Good for them.
