Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday dismissed accusations that he deliberately moved the goalposts on when the country would vaccinate enough people against COVID-19 to reach herd immunity, saying he was previously offering "guestimates."
Reported by some outlets as a "confession," Fauci told The New York Times: "When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent …Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80,85."
In subsequent interviews, Fauci has focused on the other part of that Times report in which he compared COVID-19 to measles, saying at the time that "I'd bet my house that COVID isn't as contagious as measles."
Anthony Fauci, director of the Fauci appeared on Sunday morning’s "State of the Union," reiterating to CNN’s Dana Bash that he based his numbers on measles – not polling.
"Measles is about 98% effective vaccine; the COVID-19 vaccine is about 94%," Fauci said.
"When you get below 90% of the population vaccinated with measles, you start seeing a breakthrough against the herd immunity, people starting to get infected, like we saw in upper New York State and in New York City, with the Orthodox Jewish group, when we had the measles outbreak."
"So I made a calculation that COVID-19 is not as nearly as transmissible as measles," Fauci added, stressing that measles is "the most transmissible" virus.
Instead, Fauci claimed that he made "a guestimate," and he remained firm that a more realistic range would be 75-80% of the Amercian population needing to be vaccinated before the country reaches herd immunity.

Follow the bouncing Fauci.
Is it time?
All Fauci articles should be rated satire or barf.
That’s why I didn’t put it in news this time. This guy is a joke
Leftists actually wring their hands and whine about ignorant people not trusting the experts.
Here’s a clue for you all. the numbers we have on H1N1 were ALL estimates. Bullsht data. They wild assed guessed and stopped counting before the end of 2009.
They certain never counted asymptomatic yokels.
Such utter fraud and despotism.
Hey Fauci, get your boot off of my throat.
SWINGANDAMISS
how much ROYALTY does CDC and FauXI
get for each test and for each vaccine???
they deserve millions of $$$$ for making this virus,
don’t they??? billions?
This little runt would make a great weatherman.
What a nice Democrat.
He only lies to us because he really wants to help us.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!
When has this evil, truly globally, biblically evil, little tasbard (learned this one here at FR... from someone...) ever, had a consistent straight answer for anything?
Y’all think he is kicking the can down the road. So he is credible and listened to for a while longer. He don’t want to lose any power he thinks he has over people. I think republicans are pretty much done with him but democrats are still hanging on his every word.
I would say that Footsch has outlived his usefulness but that would be inaccurate since he was never useful. Ate at the public trough since 1984, contributed very little!
You have to check out Tony Heller
It starts with the Climate Change Hoax but he goes into Covid.

Fauci is a typical bureaucrat.
Fauci is a typical bureaucrat.
Fauci is a Fraud.
Watch to the end of the video I just posted;
Tony Heller
Fauci gets “The Vacine” in his left arm, and he talks later about “just having a little soreness in his Right Arm”
He is a Fraud
Fauci told The New York Times: “When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent …Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80,85.”
