Anthony Fauci responded to President Trumps characterization of him as a little bit of an alarmist on the coronavirus pandemic, with the nation's top infectious diseases expert saying Monday that he prefers to think of himself as a realist.
I consider myself a realist, as opposed to an alarmist, Fauci told Maria Shriver in an Instagram Live interview Monday evening.
When asked if he would characterize his position as dealing with reality, Fauci responded, I believe so, but then again, others have different opinions.
Fauci also told Shriver that when it comes to the odds of preventing another wave in the fall and winter, the U.S. differed from Europe in that its plateaus were above the real baseline.
That is really the challenge were facing today, in July, Fauci said. If we want to go into the fall and winter in good shape, we have got to get that down to a real baseline. And a real baseline means tens and hundreds, not tens of thousands.

The longer Trump lets the insubordinate little schmuck publicly challenge him like this the worse it is going to go for him.

Climate alarmists see themselves as realists.
They’re alarmists. You don’t get to label yourself. You don’t get to say you’re “honest”. Others get to decide. Same with alarmism.

And yet Trump praised this little a$$wipe to hilt at all of those stupid covid pressers! If Trump has Fauci and Birx standing behind him at these resumed covid briefings, you’ll know he’s not serious!

Following Trump’s rhetoric and actions over the past couple of months, he seems to be gradually marginalizing Fauci more and more. The term “alarmist” was just another step on the road to “charlatan”, “traitor”, and then “serious danger to the Republic”.

Add this to your list:
A few weeks ago Fauci tells the NFL they can’t play in the fall.
But next week he is throwing out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opener.

What little respect I had for Fauci went out the window when he praised NY Gov Andrew Cuomo for his response to COVID. Obviously, Cuomo messed up big time when he ordered sick people into NY care homes, yet Fauci praised him anyway. Look for Fauci to be involved in an October Surprise.
The only thing Fauci is an expert at is drawing a big government paycheck for decades.
To: RandFan
Trump also needs to stop calling covid “The Plague” and the “Silent Killer!” Not sure who advised him on being overly dramatic using these silly words, but he needs to just stop it! Makes him look silly.

Dr. Fauci: deep state political hack, embedded, connected, and all on board for the the leftist agenda. Also, he has done more policy 360's than a bunch of liquored up teenagers in their father's cars on an icy parking lot in winter. Why anyone still thinks anything he say has the slightest value is really strange to me.

I want you to want me, I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Over you
Over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way
Into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head

Dr. Fauci,
If you were a realist, you wouldn’t have deluded yourself into thinking that sending NIH funding (i.e. taxpayer dollars) to the Wuhan Institute, to do gain of function research on Coronavirus was OK. It wasn’t. If you were a realist, you wouldn’t have discounted out of hand the origin of this pandemic from that institute - and instead purported that it ‘jumped’ to humans from the Wuhan wet market (it didn’t).
Further, if you were a ‘science-driven pragmatist’, and if you valued personal responsibility, you would acknowledge that President Trump acted earlier than you guided him to, and that you underestimated the impact of this virus early on.
You are now ~5% MD, 10% scientist, and 85% standard Washington pass-the-buck bureaucrat. If you weren’t a self-promoting swamp creature, you would never have lasted in your position since 1985.
