President Trump on Saturday publicly rejected Anthony Fauci's analysis on why the United States has experienced a surge in coronavirus cases, claiming that the nation's top infectious disease expert wasn't accounting for the U.S. testing capacity.
"Wrong!" Trump said in a tweet that linked to a video of Fauci's Friday testimony before Congress.
In a hearing focused on the federal response to the global health crisis, Fauci said that the U.S. was experiencing a much more severe resurgence in coronavirus cases than countries in Europe because many American states failed to completely shut down.
"If you look at what happened in Europe when they shut down or locked down or went into shelter-in-place. They really did it to the tune of about 95-plus percent of the country did that," Fauci said.

Wrong! We have more cases because we have tested far more than any other country, 60,000,000. If we tested less, there would be less cases. How did Italy, France & Spain do? Now Europe sadly has flare ups. Most of our governors worked hard & smart. We will come back STRONG!

"When you actually look at what we did, even though we shut down, even though we created a great deal of difficulty, we really functionally shut down only about 50 percent in the sense of the totality of the country," he added.
Trump, who has repeatedly touted the U.S. testing capacity in the face of criticism, claimed in his Saturday tweet that the reason the country had such a high case count was because "we have tested far more than any other country."
"If we tested less, there would be less cases. How did Italy, France & Spain do? Now Europe sadly has flare ups. Most of our governors worked hard & smart. We will come back STRONG," Trump said.
The comments marked the latest instance in which tensions between those in the White House and Fauci have spilled out into the open. Several administration officials have publicly questioned Fauci's health assessments, with White House trade adviser Peter Navarro writing in a USA Today op-ed last month that American should treat the health expert's advice with skepticism.
Trump last week retweeted a message that Fauci has "misled" the American people on a variety of issues, including the safety of a controversial anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. Fauci responded by saying that he has not misled the public about the pandemic.
As of Sunday morning, the U.S. had reported more than 4.6 million cases of COVID-19, the diseased caused by the novel coronavirus, and roughly 154,000 deaths stemming from it, according to a Johns Hopkins University database. A sustained surge in infections in recent months spurred many states to halt reopening plans and implement mask mandates.
Trump has continually cited the U.S. testing capacity as the reason for these surges. Health experts, including Fauci, have said, however, that an uptick in cases cannot be explained by an increase in testing.
Fauci reiterated this point during his testimony on Friday, stating that the surge in cases was caused by several factors, including states not abiding "strictly by the guidelines that the task force and the White House had put out" when beginning a phased reopening.
Trump has maintained that he has a good relationship with Fauci, who polls have shown to be one of the most trusted voices in the country speaking about the health crisis.
"Hes got this high approval rating, so why dont I have a high approval rating ... with respect to the virus?" Trump asked aloud at a White House press conference on Monday.
How is Florida doing?
INVESTIGATE FAUCI
how many whistleblowers will FauXi (and handlers)
... kill or jail?
they will kill/jail as many, over as many decades,
as they need(ed) for the PLANDEMIC to have worked.
Fauci responded by saying that he has not misled the public about the pandemic.

That Fauci singled out New York State, the state with the highest number of corona deaths per 100,000, as an example of doing things right says everything.
Exactly. And, that is just ONE example of where this FRAUD was wrong, or flip flopped, or misled.
How are the nursing homes in New York doing and how many coronavirus deaths did New York have as compared to Florida?
I am glad the President is standing up to Fauci. The lock downs are the reason for the resurgence. The virus did not just go away while the people’s livelihoods tanked. Now the virus is going through the population that is finally getting a chance to go back to normal. So it looks like a major increase. The reality is there would have been the same or very close number of cases without a lock down but spread out over a longer amount of time. So it would not have been so dramatic. Plus it would have meant giving herd immunity a chance to develop. Instead now we have a peak in cases. Which feeds into the fearmongering of Fauci and others.
it’s all lies.
FakeNewsMSM worldwide is reporting that there were only 17,000-20,000 at the End the Pandemic - Freedom Day or “Tag der Freiheit” protest in Berlin, Germany on Saturday. people kept commenting on youtubes that it was 1.3 million.
nearly 6 hours. cameras scan the crowd 360 degrees - people as far as the eyes can see:
Youtube: 01.08.2020 Berlin - Tag der Freiheit Live - 1,3 Millionen Menschen UNGLAUBLICH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htDrDieOgh0
a number of people commenting are furious the FakeNewsMSM is lying about the numbers, e.g. translating from German to English:
from the comments under the 5 hour-plus video:
Do not forget: Tomorrow among all mainstream videos, posts, tweets, articles, on all platforms spread the true number. 800,000-1,500,000 protesters, not 10,000 or 20,000!
The scribes are really annoying!
1 Aug: TV6: Thousands of protests were held in Berlin against epidemiological restrictions
German police have disbanded Saturdays protest against restrictions imposed in Berlin on the coronavirus epidemic, the MTI writes. Police justified the action on the grounds that the organizers of the demonstration did not ensure compliance with health regulations.
Authorities say a crowd of 20,000 marched through the city center to the Brandenburg Gate, ***but organizers estimate that 1.3 million protesters took part in the movement...

We are fine. I’ve read that Jim Cantore is in the Carolinas. So we must be safe.
Trump introduced Fauci to the World by putting him front and and center
when Covid 19 broke out here. A big mistake. Its way past time to dis-credit

Fauci tells the NFL they cant play in the fall.
But next week he is throwing out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opener.
“Fauci lied, thousands died”.
I hope that catches on...
NY 444,388 cases 32,773 deaths
FL 480,028 cases 7,022 deaths
As of yesterday
I linked a chart the other day that showed percentages of many things and two of them were increases in testing and increases in cases (2 week rolling average).
The increases in cases was vastly higher than increases in testing in recent resurgent states. It’s NOT just the testing!
The facts are that the actual numbers (not percentages) of people being hospitalized or dying from Covid-19 are small. Significantly less than the nationwide daily numbers from heart disease.
Our mortality rate as of last week was 3.3%, the lowest in the developed world and below South Korea. And the vast majority of those were people, like Dr. Ben Carson, who had significant co-morbidities and were elderly.
Those are just the facts.
Fauci has earned his place as a major historical figure—in the tradition of Benedict Arnold, Alger Hiss and Julius Rosenberg.
