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.
AMEN!
The FauXi Grinch REALLY wants to stop the Whoes from singing, standing “heart to heart and hand in hand”.
That’s what masking and [anti]”social distancing” are all about.
His whole goal is to get people vaxed, not to protect anyone’s health.
He admits it himself.
Fauci, here’s your vaccine; How about a nice big dose of STFU.
Yep. The contradictions and self-admissions in those statements are glaring.
At least to those of us who haven’t sold our minds to blind leftist partisanship.
Fauci is the antithesis of science in his every utterance.
Sorry to hear that. That just sucks. So unnecessary.
Nobody has even suggested cancelling any of the balls, parties or large gatherings of any kind here.
I did read earlier that NYC plans to go ahead with the ball drop in Times Square, but people have to show proof of Fauci-ouchies, social distance and wear masks. Outside. Ridiculous.
Dr Fubar should stay away from windows and high places 🤪
Sorry, doc! I would have grabbed ya but you're not masked.
The issue is FREE States and FEAR States!
FREEEOM
over
FEAR!
I don’t understand who Fauci is talking about or who would infect who.
Should the double vaxxed boosted avoid big gatherings because THEY might get infected?
Why should they worry? Right? They are “PROTECTED” right?
Or are they worried that the double vaxxed boosted might give it to the unvaxxed?
But why would that happen? The double vaxxed boosted aren’t supposed to be able to get COVID, right?
I mean that’s why they risked immediate DEATH (and future injuries), THREE TIMES for!
Fauci speaks with forked tongue.
I don’t take advice from psychotic dwarfs. Thanks.
You’re one of the very very few who think that way.
My Karen neighbor wears her mask in her backyard and drives around wearing it in her car - windows up or down, doesn’t matter.
I make it a point to cough and sneeze every time I see her.
Seriously, I’m not type of person that condones violence but I’m to the point with this Fauci clown that I wish someone would fold his teeth back so I don’t have to listen to his shit anymore.
How about No?
I’ve never gone anywhere or done anything ‘celebratory’ on New Year’s. It’s always seemed to me to be a time for being alone and reflecting and planning.
But Fauci has become full of himself, and too big for his britches (as my old granny used to say...)
In Playbook: Fauci out at a party at Cafe Milano maskless, prompting Sally Quinn to ask why he was so "ambivalent" https://t.co/fsjwYcU7xS pic.twitter.com/CMOtPqqshb— Tara Palmeri (@tarapalmeri) November 19, 2021
Is there any way that I can unread the part about Anthony Fauci, Sally Quinn and the erotic novel?
Help me, Festinger.
Go suck rocks, Fauxi.
What a pathetic stupid little man/dictator. Mussolini came to the same end Fauci deserves.
With kickbacks, no doubt.
I can’t imagine he’s not lining his own pockets as well.
