‘For Goodness’ Sake’: Fauci Begs Americans To Put Aside Differences As Political Divide Deepens In Vaccine Rollout
Forbes ^ | July 04, 2021 | Jemima McEvoy

Top infectious disease official Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday issued an impassioned warning about the danger of a divided vaccine rollout as a new poll highlighted how hesitancy around the shot has become deeply tied to party affiliation.

KEY FACTS

Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Fauci, who served as President Biden’s chief science officer, deemed it “frustrating” and “tragic” that inoculation rates aren’t higher in the U.S. when the vaccine is so widely available.

He said it is particularly “terrible” from the perspective of those who have “dealt with diseases where you don’t have an effective countermeasure,” highlighting: “We do have a countermeasure that’s highly, highly effective.”

“Whatever the reasons ... some of them are ideological, some of them are just fundamentally anti-vax or anti-science or what have you,” said the top infectious disease doctor, “we just have to put that aside now.”

CRUCIAL QUOTE

“For goodness' sake, put aside all of those differences and realize that the common enemy is the virus,” Fauci said. “We have enough vaccines to vaccinate essentially everybody in the country, and there are people throughout the world who would do anything to get vaccines.”

Cases were dropping before vaccinations started. Why haven’t case rates dropped faster after 152 million full vaccinations?

“These are the “Trump vaccines”, after all. If it was political, we would all be lining up to take them and the Left would be refusing.”

my exact thought ... and absolutely correct ... however, the fascist left State media figures Americans aren’t smart enough to realize that (and unfortunately, for far too many who they’ve totally brainwashed, they’re correct) ...

Fraud Fauci claimed you should not kiss your spouse the same week he claimed two stranger homosexuals could meet in a public bathroom to sodomize each other.

“I find it much more disturbing that Fauci but the kibosh on a couple of medications that could have significantly reduced the death count and suffering of millions of people world wide.”

And Fauci has endorsed those medications in the past. If Trump hadn’t been a proponent of them, Fauci wouldn’t have balked. He’s a mass murderer.

Yes, and the countermeasure is weight loss.

Under the age of 60? Get your BMI down to less than 30-35, and you have a survival rate of 9,999 out of 10,000.

Then I say, my body my choice. Mind your own business.

I like to tell people that I am waiting for the human trials to conclude before I make up my mind about the vax.

I say it with a straight face. The reactions are great.
