Fauci apparently thinks it's appropriate to deceive the public for their own good
-------
In a startling interview with the New York Times, Dr. Anthony Fauci,head of the government's coronavirus taskforce, admitted that he did not level with the American people about how many people would need to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity because he didn't think the public was ready to hear his true thoughts, which he feared might discourage people from getting vaccinated.
The Times article catalogued Dr. Fauci's changing position on how many Americans would need to be vaccinated, which he initially stated would be 60-70 percent. As noted by the Times, about a month ago, Fauci's tune began to change and he suggested that the figure was actually 70-75 percent. Last week, in an interview with CNBC, he upped that figure (again) to "75 to 80-plus percent." In the interview with the Times, he changed his estimate yet again and suggested that the figure actually may be "close to 90 percent."
According to the Times, in the telephone interview, "Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks."
In other words, Fauci's advice to the American public on one of the most critical aspects of the coronavirus pandemic, has not consisted entirely of his honest opinion, formulated by the best science, but rather on what he thinks the country is ready to hear.

I know the topic has been posted, but Fauci deserves a little more bashing.
Fauci has been a disaster https://t.co/yYuBIdJkkZ— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 24, 2020
If he can lie about his specialty, he can lie about anything. He certainly would have been happy not to “level with” the president in order to achieve some other goal.

Is this like "New Math" from the late 60's or maybe Common Core of the late?
I’d say Trump should fire him first thing Monday morning. If possible, his pension should be revoked.
Let’s not kid ourselves. He wants it to be mandatory. Has Biden said anything that might support the thought?
Yes he does.
Anyone who gives credibility to Fauci is brain-dead. That overpaid little sh*t has been misleading the American public since Day One.

‘Fauci Will Not Lie’: Politicians, Federal Officials And Celebrities Rally Behind The Trusted Voice Of Coronavirus
Lisette Voytko
If we’ve collectively learned anything since last winter, a large part of “public health” is trying to figure out how to convey a message that will influence behavior by the public. It’s not science, it’s psychology and manipulation. Don’t wear a mask (because we don’t have enough masks), do wear a mask(we have masks now), don’t visit family (because we don’t have contact tracing in place), don’t get tested(because we don’t have enough tests to go around unless you’re in government or a pro sports team), do get tested, don’t eat inside a restaurant (because we have to say something), don’t pay attention to the other statements on herd immunity (because you won’t get a vaccine if you do), don’t rush out to get a vaccine though(because we don’t have enough).
It’s all a shell game.
He’s an evil man. He’s a sick coward.
Craven conceited and manipulative ass hole
How come that old piece of shoe leather is still vertical?
Nice job Mengele
How many more people are going to needlessly die or have their lives ruined and ambitions amputated for your fictional thespian act in search of an academy award.
I really don’t think that anyone with two functioning brain cells (does not include the majority of lawyers, swamp creatures and politicians) takes that glorified lab tech seriously.
There’s video of Fauci swaggering up to a microphone and stating unequivocably that pandemics are not driven by asymptomaic people. While asymptomatic people can on rare occaissions spread a respiratory illness, it’s not what drives a pandimic.
Fauci and others pronounce dire estimates based on the number of “cases” but they are lying; they are using the number of positive TESTS, not people actually ill with COvid-19.
Survivability is 99.9% of those who actually GET Covid, not all those “cases” and if we do count asympotomatic, false positives fake “cases” then Covid is far more survivable than 99.9%.
The lockdowns are part of the communist attack on our economy and our people, to move us into position for China’s puppet to rule over us, and turn AMerica into the new Venezuela.
And people here wonder why we don’t trust scientists and pharma companies and our leaders about personal health issues, much less anything else.
Perhaps all of you who do so, can stop looking down on us when they admit they deceive people about their intentions.
Perhaps our skepticism of them and what they spout out, is justified.
