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.

The media attacked President Trump when he said he chose to present a calm leadership to American people. They screamed he downplayed the virus. Are they going to do the same with Fauci? Wont’ hold my breath.
SMH
We really could have used Kerry Mullis’s voice this year.
Am I the only one that finds the timing of his death due to pneumonia in August of last year a little....suspicious?
Great...a quack and a liar. What a pathetic poltroon.
He’s too happy collecting his bribes from China. Remember who funded COVID virus research in WUHAN somewhat before we had the pandemic?
His acts have damaged the entire country.
the FauChihuahua strikes again.
“Maks, shmaks...”
It’s like “found ballots.” Anything that advances them towards their goal that you can be suckered into accepting.
Biden is already in record as saying he’ll “support the science.” And that’s whatever Fauci tells him it is, true or not.

Never, ever make a hero out of a tax-sucking bureaucrat. If we had real journalists in America, they’d already know that.
And I “admit” to wanting to have the opportunity to administer the most atomic of atomic wedgies to this son of a bitch ever imagined. A wedgie that only the most talented surgeon on earth could remove.
remember when he came out and told nobody to wear masks and said masked we’re only for hospital workers in the very wealthy?
"That's the primary endpoint: To prevent clinical disease, to prevent symptomatic disease. Not necessarily to prevent infection. That's a secondary endpoint. But the primary thing you want to do, is that if people get infected, prevent them from getting sick. And if you prevent them from getting sick, you ultimately prevent them from getting seriously ill. So that's what we want to do. The first point - what we call a primary endpoint - is that. If the vaccine also allows you to prevent initial infection, that would be great. But what I would settle for is the primary endpoint, to prevent clinically recognizable disease. And that's what we hope happens. "
This guy is well trained in doublespeak, but what he said - as the guy leading vaccine development and privy to details only few have seen - is eye opening.
Notable: He plans no 'challenge trials' and I seriously doubt that 'cases' are going to decline.
So keep wearing your damned face diapers. And don't forget to cash your hush money checks.
Is there an honest doctor in the house? Please give me an aspirin. My head is spinning from the “know-it-alls”.
My wife gives me “directions” without charging me for them. She should be an MD instead of MAD.
