Dr. Fauci’s Interventions
National Review ^ | February 23, 2021 | Michael Brendan Dougherty

Posted on 02/24/2021 8:15:35 PM PST by CheshireTheCat

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s interventions continue to lose coherence and connection from reality.

We are now at the point where Fauci seems to be implying that normality will never come back, and where reasonable people may draw the inference that getting vaccinated is vaguely socially irresponsible.

Take his comments this week, from a report at Business Insider:

“There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” Fauci said on Monday during a White House COVID-19 press briefing. “For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate. That’s because of the safety of society.”

“We hope that when the data comes in, it’s going to show that the virus level is quite low and you’re not transmitting it,” Fauci said, cautioning: “We don’t know that now. And for that reason, we want to make sure that people continue to wear masks despite the fact that they’re vaccinated.”

The first thing to ask is: What planet are you living on? People are dining indoors and going to movie theaters right now. Many schools are open and are managing to keep transmission very low....

Lots of people are taking this and Fauci-like statements about the necessity of continuing to wear masks after vaccination and wondering: What’s the use of the vaccine if we can’t get back to normal life?....

I love this line from the author a bit further down:

"I’m noticing far too many people turning toward despair, believing we will never get out of 'pandemic time' or turning toward conspiracy theories as the only form of liberation available."

Maybe, just maybe, there actually is a conspiracy. Is it possible that people are waking up to it?

All I want to do is be able to drop a double sawbuck on a therapeutic course of hydroxychloroquine and/or Ivermectin.

Why can't I do that?  winking face

Like in the Wizard of Oz, the curtain has been pulled back and the people we now see pulling the levers are irresponsible power hungry morons. I trust my dog’s judgment more than Fauci’s.

I have read that Fony Fauci was an original developer of what has become COVID-19. He passed that effort off to the Chinese when Obama pulled his funding.

Is that story true?
If it is why is this guy still around after all the deaths?

Why can’t I do that?”

I’m on both. The Free State Of Florida.

It’s only a matter of time before the dems say to themselves “We cooked the numbers so we could beat Trump with them but we’re in charge now and we changed the way we count cases so the numbers are tanking. That will let us open up just enough to get revenues coming back in but not so much that we give up our dictatorial powers. But that jerk Fauci is drunk with his celebrity status and keeps flapping his gums about how it will never end. He works for us, not the other way around. Send out the media dogs to destroy him.”

Well, he did pay that lab in Wuhan to do "gain of function" experiments on Cornavirus. Gain of function means making it more easily transmittable to humans. Why would anyone want that? Well supposedly to study ways to treat highly communicable versions of viruses that might arise naturally some day. At best it's a stupid and dangerous idea. At worst it's very very sinister. But yes he definitely funded that work (or more accurately the agency he leads did) and it's a matter of public record.

What's the use of Fauci if he doesn't make sense?

Thanks for the confirmation. What amazes me is how this very big deal (at least for me) is treated as a nothing event by the MSM and the public.

If Trump had sponsored COVID research that led to the current pandemic he would have been impeached, convicted and tossed from office. But Obama and Fauci get to walk. Makes no sense.

Fauci claims to be an immunologist, but his statements bear no relationship to immunology. In order for a pandemic to spread, ill patients have to transmit their disease to other people. They only have about a week, on average, to do this. If each sick person gives the disease to more than one person, the disease spreads exponentially. If each person transmits the disease to less than one person, the disease dies away. The only question then becomes, “How long will it take”?

When the last patient with the disease fails to pass it on, the pandemic is gone. That’s how all past pandemics in human history have ended. When a sick patient meets someone who has had the disease, but is now resistant, that’s one less person who he can spread the disease to. The same goes for vaccinated people. Even if the vaccinations are not perfect, or if past encounters don’t respond with perfect immunity, the numbers of potential victims are GREATLY DIMINISHED. I’m surprised Fauci doesn’t understand this basic fact.
