Amid sagging Covid-19 vaccination rates and stubborn levels of vaccine hesitancy, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Saturday the United States’ successful campaigns to eradicate smallpox and polio in the last century wouldn’t have succeeded if those vaccines were subject to the same level of misinformation that currently surrounds coronavirus vaccines.
In an interview with CNN, Fauci warned that some unvaccinated adults have been exposed to false information, are often skeptical of objective Covid-19 data and frequently justify their decision not to get vaccinated with “things that are really just not true.”
After anchor Jim Acosta compared the situation to polio, the government’s top infectious disease expert offered a dire warning: Fauci said efforts to eliminate smallpox (which was eradicated worldwide over 40 years ago) and polio (which has been eliminated in almost every country) would have faltered under the current climate of misinformation.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“If we had had the pushback for vaccines the way we're seeing on certain media, I don't think it would've been possible at all to not only eradicate smallpox, we probably would still have smallpox,” Fauci told Acosta, “and we probably would still have polio in this country if we had the kind of false information that's being spread now.”

DeSantis PAC selling ‘don’t Fauci my Florida’ merchandise!
BRILLANT!!
The polio vaccine was developed and marketed by men who still had, and demonstrated honor.
We had reason to trust them, unlike the charlatans involved in this deep state hoax.
I would love to know specifically which information is “mis-information.”
Have there been no adverse reactions to the c-vax?
Have there been no deaths that can be reasonably attributed to having been brought on by the c-vax?
Hey Fauci, want to talk to the families of those who have DIED from getting vaccinated..maybe you can tell them to their faces what a grade A jacka@@ you are..Fauci needs to burn in hell for what he did
Does Dr. Fucme understand what a vaccine is?
And, the U.S. and the world would have had some 20-30 million more deaths due to Covid-19, if the researchers and scientists had listened to democrats and their media, about how vaccines would take 5-10 years to develop.
Thank God there was a Trump around that pushed for quick development of the vaccines.
And, the people who misinformed the world about Covid-19 were all democrats and the WHO. So, where is the misinformation really coming from? Fauxi is the leader of the misinformation charlatans.
Back then, I don’t think the Director of Allergies and Infectious diseases was cashing in on the polio vaccine like you are Dr. FRAUDCI.
Also, I personally know someone who had a MASSIVE stroke within 2 weeks of his second shot and later died.
Yes of course, the second coming of Jonas Salk. /S
And it is intellectually dishonest and morally reprehensible to do it.
Democrats playing the compare game again
...and sooner rather than later.
It is really very simple, don’t allow Democrats in positions of authority. The “people” may then believe what the government has to say, since the government will no longer be viewed as a threat.
I think that it’s a good thing that FowChee wasn’t around for that one.
If it wasn’t for Fauci’s funding and then coverup, would we have 4 million dead people in the world?
Which they obviously failed as early as kindergarten.
At least the polio shots were approved by the FDA and they actually worked.
Gee, I wonder what they're up to? This just simply cannot be all about health and safety now, can it? IF so, one would have to believe that our current Democrat/communist/Left administration is the most gentle, the most humane, the most beneficent in the history of the United States ... perhaps even in the history of the world!
Fauci continued insistence that COVID survive be vaccinated makes me wonder what he is installing in the American population...
Polio was much more serious, and it’s seriousness did not increase with age and pre-existing conditions; so people were scared and willing to assume the risks. Not so with COVID.
