Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Monday Americans should stay away from large gatherings for New Year's Eve even if people are fully vaccinated with boosters because they would not know if others are fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
"I do wonder we are approaching New Year’s Eve at the end of this week, a lot of people have got events and gatherings planned, and I know you said it’s OK to be with friends and family if you’re vaccinated and boosted, but what is your advice to people about larger settings for New Year’s parties?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked.
"Kaitlan, I would stay away from that, I mean, I — I have been telling people consistently that if you’re vaccinated and boosted and you have a family setting in the home with family and relatives, but when you’re talking about a New Year’s Eve party we have 30, 40, 50 people celebrating you do not know the status of the vaccination, I would recommend strongly stay away from that this year," Fauci said. "There will be other years to do that but not this year."
Fauci gave similar instructions about large gatherings for Christmas, saying fully vaccinated people should not participate.
Fauci's advice comes as the United States is experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases spurred by the Omicron variant though it appears to be a much milder strain. Dr. Angelique Coetzee, one of the first doctors in South Africa to treat patients with the Omicron variant of COVID-19, previously told CNN they had seen a decrease in COVID cases in the region where Omicron was first detected. South Africa, which has a lower vaccination rate compared to the U.S., did see an increase in COVID cases with the Omicron variant but they did not see a rise in hospitalizations or deaths.
If a second Thanksgiving, a second Christmas, a second New Year's, a third Easter, and a third Independence Day, can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.
This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.
This is a blatant admission the vaxes are fake.
Just stay away from fauci and you’ll be fine.
Fauci is a waste of bandwidth.
No thanks. If I find myself in a large crowd on New Years Eve — unlikely at my age — I won’t care if any of them are unvaccinated. The garden gnome can shove right off.
From “We the people” to Dr. Fauci: Nuts!
If you are vaccinated and got vaccinated to protect yourself as well as others why not? Are you admitting the vaccine doesn't work?
No, there will not be other years to do this. Couldn't do it last year, couldn't have Thanksgiving and Christmas two years running, no St. Patrick's Day celebrations, Independence Day, etc...
I think a mob of people should surround this troll and make him terribly uncomfortable.
I CHOSE to get vaccinated....my CHOICE.
If the vaccination is even half of what it is claimed to be I really don’t give a rat’s rump whether anyone else is vaccinated or unvaccinated, masked or unmasked, coughing or calm, close or distant!
I am pro VOLUNTARY vax.
I am barely tolerant VOLUNTARY mask.
I am anti MANDATORY vax.
I am vehemently anti MANDATORY mask.
I have ZERO need to “feel safe” on the basis that everyone in a venue, a health care facility, or any other place has dutifully shown their papers.
America will remain “the land of the free” ONLY if we demonstrate that we are “the home of the brave”!
GTH Fauchi
A few months ago places started selling shirts:
After This Virus
Thing is Over
I Still Want Some
of You
To Stay Away From Me
Let’s start with Fauci.
Lol. Didn’t this evil goat say the same thing about Christmas?
Nice reference. Wonder how many will get it?
I’m sure a few people on this forum will get it.
Stuff it, Fauci.
We ignored your Thanksgiving edicts, your Christmas edicts and now we will ignore your New Years edicts.
Just go away, ya nasty little dwarf.
Hit the nail on the head.
The wife and I are both vaccinated and boosted.
Could care if others are vaccinated or wear a mask
We do what we are comfortable with, not what others feel I should be comfortable with for them(tongue twister lol)
EVERY STINKING DAY! Every day this fraud is out there on multiple Leftist MSM venues pontificating about what he’s thinking on with regard to masks, quarantine, blah, blah, blan... EVERY DAY! Coming into contact with like-minded facilitators in MSM and those people around them. Enough to be the equivalent of the 30,40,50 ‘unknown’ people one might come into contact with at a NYE party this year. You know? The NYE party(s) he’s telling everyone to forgo? Just this once?
How about for once, Fauci, why don’t you forgo your pontificating and stay the hell in your office and do some real work or something? Better yet, retire and STFU....
“Fun, friends, booze, happiness, with a potential of sex? Absolutely not, you stay home in your room. In fact, you go to bed by yourself at 10:30!”
Were they squelched where you are?
Things were definitely damped down here in 2020, but this year, holiday celebrations, sporting events, concerts, fairs, etc. were pretty much back to normal.
Remember...they said 15 days...and we'd be over this. Then why did they shut down the whole damn country?
FOAD, Fauci.
