Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci said if President Donald Trump had listened to top officials who wanted the shutdown to begin in February, fewer lives would have been lost to the coronavirus pandemic.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “The New York Times reported yesterday that you and other top officials wanted to recommend social and physical distancing guidelines to President Trump as far back as the third week of February, but the administration didn’t announce such guidelines to the American public until March 16th, almost a month later. Why?”
Fauci said, “As I’ve said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often the recommendation is taken. Sometimes it’s not. But it is what it is. we are where we are right now.”
Tapper said, “Do you think lives could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures, had started the third week of February instead of mid-March?”
Fauci said, “You know, Jake, again, it’s the what would have, what could have. It’s very difficult to go back and say that. I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you’re right, I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”

I’m pretty sure alot of us are amped up due to watching America struggle desperately under the pressure of enemy forces that seek to destroy it. I pray, then I’m calm, then panic sets in, then...repeat
Fauci Rejects CNN Doctor’s Assessment of Trump Admin’s Coronavirus Response

Which is it?
Perhaps more importantly, who exactly is bearing the brunt of this social experimentation is shaming and the subservience of self to the (defined by whom?) greater good? Yep, the young - teenagers and 20-somethings. In other words, the future of America.
So, I would suggest that people should chill out and relax. Because at least four crucial elements have come out of this episode:
- Renewed respect and appreciation for the 2A
- Re-purposed offshore production re-home for domestic employment
- Support for nationalism, borders and sovereignty
- Awareness of tyrannical government overreach
That last point is the most important - the blow-back against the alarming degree & scope of CV mandates is going to be immense. And it's gonna be the kids who learned these lessons first hand who are going to be leading the charge.
Breitbart headline is fake news......
Thanks for saying that...made me feel better.
It hurts to watch it all happen.
And no matter what we do now, we will be near or past 140 percent debt to gdp
ouch
We would have saved even more lives if CNN (and others) had spent half as much time covering the coronavirus in China in January as they did covering the impeachment proceedings.
that tells me he still supports farci as I hear the Jesse interview was alot of butt kissing
Fauci, “Because it is my nature and training”
These enemies will go whole hog on how Trump failed in a week or two. Too afraid to go full TDS yet but it is coming. They are just evil bastards. They of course are wrong. If he closed things early, he would be crazy, too late a murderer. Pay them no attention. We know the drill.
hey fauci: cross your legs, we only got three nails
God said, ‘all things work for good for those of you that love Me and are called according to My purpose’. I am standing on that promise that the terrible things we’re seeing to bring destruction to our nation will turn out for GOOD.
Fauci's book is being ghost written in Hillary's basement at this very moment.
Amen to that.
“””Fauci: But you’re right, I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then. …
Breitbart is not misleading here. Fauci is, particularly when he was part of the “pushback about shutting things down back then”.”””
You are correct. Breitbart is not misleading. Fauci could have said that “in early February there were very few cases in the USA and the data from other countries was hard to decipher. Considering all the information before us, we knew then that an immediate nationwide mitigation shutdown was an infeasible solution.”
Instead, Fauci complains that there was ‘pushback”.
Foxy Faithless Fauci is a deep state Gates puppet. He needs to be ‘fired’ asap and replaced with someone loyal to the President instead of the DNC, Hillary, and Bill Gates.
Oh yeah? Why don’t you go Fauci yourself.
So, Fauxi, what do you have to say about you 2.2 million dead “model”? Hmmmmmmmm?
Fauxi and Birx are career public health medical bureaucrats, they LOVE pandemics, plagues, etc. They LIVE for this kind of stuff!
And they LOVE all the attention they’re getting. “The power, the absolute power!”
I’m not sure who you’re referring to as being concerned, or having dispair.
As for me and my fam? We’re extremely chill and relaxed.....sitting out by the pool, as I type :-)
