Fauci responds to Trump: I'm a 'realist' not an 'alarmist'

"Realist..."

Dr. Fauci says you can hook up with a Tinder match who doesn't have symptoms, but only if you're 'willing to take a risk'

Yeah, sounds like a realist to me.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Honestly, he should have been fired right then.

What sort of “infectious disease expert” would ever endorse the idea of hookups for anonymous sex?

[digger48]

The media is slobbering over him to resurrect him and get quotes from him to use against Trump

I knew the first time I saw and heard him that he was enjoying the spotlight waaaay too much for an actual “scientist”

A freak with a big ego who dreams of hookups for anonymous sex.

Fauci’s mouth is a loose cannon shooting in all directions and in some cases a blank with no purpose.

Oh, so the masks are a Fifty Shades of Grey kind of kink thing, eh?

Trump should bench him, tell the world he has assigned him some super important project only Fauci could handle and then forget him. Then sit him down in front of a camera and have him do important interviews one after another all day long (with fake magazines using agents to do the interviews and tell him how important he is)

[MayflowerMadam]

I hope Fauci is invisible at the next Covid presser, which is supposed to be tonight, I think.

There must be a closet under some stairway where Trump can park Fauci’s ass with a small Ikea desk.

“I consider myself a realist, as opposed to an alarmist,”

Yeah? So did the serpent.

[1Old Pro]

Fauci is a Russian/Chicom spies wet dream, easily seduced by one of their female spies telling him how important he is, and how distinguished looking.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Fauci has this reputation as one of the world’s leading experts on infectious disease”

Key phrase: “ONE OF the ... experts”. There are others, many of whom have done honest days of actual work in the this field. Fauci’s expertise is, and has been, purely political. Find an immunologist with charisma equal to, or greater than, Fauci’s and let that person take center stage.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump has a presser scheduled for 5PM Eastern.
The notification does not specifically state that
it’s about COVID though.

That's the one funny moment in the dreary Michael Moore flick Canadian Bacon. The guy manning the State Department's Canada Desk is wedged in between the men's room and the coffee machine.

[NormsRevenge]

No, Fauci, you are just one more swamp rat. A political animal.

They'll have to bring Viagra to the party, but I can see that.

[MayflowerMadam]

“does not specifically state that it’s about COVID though.”

Guess I just assumed that, after reading that KellyAnne has encouraged starting these again.

“I consider myself a realist, as opposed to an alarmist,” Fauci told Maria Shriver in an Instagram Live interview Monday evening.

LOL. Instagram Live? What a camera hound Fauci is. He makes camera addicted Senators look like shrinking violets.

[Arcadian Empire]

Anthony Fauci caused the pandemic.

He wanted coronavirus samples to be extracted from bats and then rendered more contagious, more invasive, and deadlier in a gain of function experiment.

He arranged to have all of that done via grants he authorized to the Wuhan China lab from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

He is responsible for every single coronavirus death in the world.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I think they need to start these again. They need to regain control of the narrative. That should have been one of the main purposes of the task force, and Pence just blew it off.

[Moonlighter]

Me detects a pattern here...

You knew his fate was sealed when Trump said it wasn't sealed after their first public kerfluffle a few months back. I'm frankly surprised he's gotten by this long but you know the press can hardly wait to scream 'President removes top Covid expert, now all Americans are going to die!'
