National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that things were “going to get worse” as the Delta variant pushes a surge of COVID-19 cases in the United States.
Anchor Jon Karl said, “Help me understand. Are we headed towards a period once again where we’re going to see lockdowns, businesses shutting down, masks routine for everybody, or is this — or is this potentially just a temporary setback?”
Fauci said, Jon, I don’t think we’re going to see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country, not enough to crush the outbreak, but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter.
He continued, “But things are going to get worse. If you look at the acceleration of the number of cases, the seven-day average has gone up substantially. You know, what we really need to do, Jon — we say it over and over again, and it’s the truth — we have 100 million people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who are not getting vaccinated. We are seeing an outbreak of the unvaccinated. There are some breakthrough infections among vaccinated. You’d expect that because no vaccine is 100 percent effective. But in the breakthrough infections, they are mostly mild or without symptoms, whereas the unvaccinated, who have a much, much, much greater chance of getting infected in the first place, are the ones that are vulnerable to getting severe illness that might lead to hospitalization and, in some cases, death.”
Fauci added, “So, we’re looking not, I believe, to lockdown, but we’re looking to some pain and suffering in the future

For those in Rio Linda, this is Fauci talking. Don’t shoot the messenger.
Hurry up and die from Covid Dr. Fraud.
Hopefully after getting 5 vaccines and wearing 12 masks.
The little man crying “wolf” yet again - only the tyrannical Left is listening.
This man is way past wearing down his welcome.
This man is way past wearing down his welcome.
The man cant shut up until he is shut up.
It didn’t happen in England…
“Things are going to get worse.” For the sociopathic and criminal Fauci I hope.
“Fauci says ....” CLICK.
And the southern border is still wide open
They complain hospitals are full but refuse to actually prescribe a damn thing to outpatients. Plus, the only thing they use, failed remdesivir, REQUIRES hospitalization in order to administer. So they've created the most counterproductive bottleneck imaginable.— Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) August 1, 2021
All the stuff that didn't work the first time.
Dr. Doom and Gloom fails to say that the “Delta Variant” is less lethal than the original ... which had an overall survival rate of 99.8%.
Yes Herr Fauci - things are going to get worse for you - murderous Merchant of Death, investor in Bioweapons, because people are coming for you with torches and pitchforks.
The Canadian border, unironically, is locked down.
And all the Democrat politicians mandating masks continue to be repeatedly caught not wearing them.
anthony fauci, doktor todesengel, rightfully belongs in south america ... maybe venezuela...
With the current Looney Tunes in charge? Of course they will.
The "Delta Variant" that they're not even actually testing for sounds to me to be little more than having a cold.
And let's not forget, the massive COVID spike that took place last month at Provincetown was the result of a weeklong sweaty gay orgy.
They are going to string this out until the 2022 elections, if not forever.
