Asked about border COVID cases, Fauci says Omicron likely to spread anyway

Asked about concerns of Omicron spread amid a slew of COVID-19 cases among migrants at the southern border. Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that the variant was likely to spread in the country “no matter what.”

Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, was grilled by Fox News host Neil Cavuto about reports that said 18 percent of migrant families and 20 percent of unaccompanied minors tested positive for the coronavirus.

“I think given what we know about the transmissibility and a likely transmissibility advantage of Omicron … once it gets in there, it will likely, under the radar screen, be spreading no matter what you do to keep people out or not,” Fauci said during the rare appearance on the cable news channel.

“That’s the way viruses work,” he added.

The virus has been an excuse for them to do what they’ve always wanted to do.

Exactly. The world needs to realize that the people behind this crap are the '60s and '70s "activists" (some of them billionaires and millionaires now) who, when the Vietnam War ended and the unrest subsided a little, pledged they would "change the system from within" while they went disco dancing and invested in the stock market.

They're getting old now, and realizing they have only so much time to "change the system" before they croak. So they're giving it their best, last shot.

They were worthless then, they're worthless now, and they need to finally be put down.

Think it through. It is my own observation but not original.

In my experience, very elderly people don’t sleep long. And they do like to hear themselves talk.

So stopping travel from Africa WAS 100% racist.

And what did Neil say in response? Or did he just nod his head like the bobble head he resembles?

> It’s the rule of thirds. One third is all it takes to have tyranny over the other two thirds. That is because of the middle third which goes along with the either one of the other third, or just stays quiet. One third can maintain control by intimidating the second third. We are the third third.

Except that in this case, the three sections are not 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. The reality is that it's more like 1/5, 3/5, 1/5.

20% are active tyrants
60% are sheep in the middle
20% are us

In other words, we're not outnumbered 2:1, we're outnumbered 4:1, and we need to strategize accordingly.

FWIW, I live in Ithaca NY, City of Evil, Liberal Capital of the US Northeast. Here it's more like 20:1. But I know it's not like that everywhere.

I wonder if anybody will ask Jenn Psaki about what Fauci said about Covid-19 virus will spread any way when responding to a question about illegal immigrants spreading the virus and compare that to Biden issuing travel bans from countries in Southern Africa. Does Biden still have confidence in Fauci?

That has been my contention since about late May/early April 2020.

My “WTF?” had more to do with my incredulity at the dogged persistence of someone like him to just lie, follow-up the lie with more lies, and top it off with even more.

I guess I just don’t understand that mindset.

We would all be worried about you if you did. :)

It brings that quote to mind, which has come often to my mind lately:

"We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying."

It disturbs me that this quote has become so prominent in my mind lately, and not a reference to some long-dead communist state.

It worries me more than I can say, TigersEye.

You are not alone. It worries me too and I am certain it worries a lot of FReepers and many more patriots beyond the realm of this forum.

The only thing I know for sure that we must all do is remain true to ourselves.
