National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease director Anthony Fauci, on a recent interview on CNN with host Chris Wallace, said the former president, Donald Trump, was to blame for many, oh so many — how many? He wouldn’t say — but many, oh so many deaths tied to COVID-19.
But the Great Obfuscater once again hid behind his obfuscating ways.
He blamed Trump in a way that still allowed him a way to deny he blamed Trump.

Wallace asked Fauci “if the government had been smarter right from the start … could we have had a lot fewer deaths?”
It’s a stupid question. It’s a “who knows” kind of question. But it’s also a stupid “who knows” type of question that allows the answerer to spin the answer as pleased. And spin Fauci did.
“I believe so,” he said, as Mediaite noted. “I believe so. I mean, I can’t quantitate it for you about how many less deaths. You can’t even model that, I don’t think. But there were certain things that were done that if they were done differently, w e likely would have had.”
Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.
Even then, it’s a “who knows?”
Wallace asked again, “Do you think that we might have avoided, that there were hundreds of thousands of deaths that were preventable?”
And Fauci’s reply: “Again, it’s really tough, Chris, to quantitate it because do, it’s a headline, and I don’t want to do that.”
It’s enough for Fauci to agree — then let the deceptive members of the media do all the subsequent quantifying. Right?
This is how Fauci operates.
He hems, he haws, he leaves sentences half-complete. He lets the imaginations of listeners fill in the blank.

If “someone” coulda, shoulda, woulda recognized the problem instantaneously and done something sooner, wouldn’t that someone be: “National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci”?
Trump is not a doctor or scientist, and controlling Infectious Disease is Fauci’s whole job. I don’t recall Fauci popping up with brilliant ideas in the early stages of the pandemic, and Trump followed almost every recommendation the man proposed. So would deaths have been much lower if FAUCI had acted more quickly?
Trump facilitated Operation Warpspeed, launched the construction of so many ventilators that most went unused and were eventually given away as door prizes internationally, constructed makeshift hospitals such as the Javits Center and several hospital ships, etc.
Any failure in the system lays at the feet of Dr. Fauci himself. When he dares to point a finger at president Trump, three more will point back at him.
The little prick needs waterboarded.
Well, I was pretty out of it. One doc said that if I coded, they’d not revive me unless I agreed to have Remdesivir. I learned later that’s par for the course.
Some doc came in with an EUA I’d not heard of, I signed on the dotted line for it, and got that one. The saving grace was that it worked, even though the doc said he wasn’t all sure it would
Things are pretty vague. I remember being asked about a heart condition I don’t have. And them yelling at me about my breathing for about three days.
And Wallace needs to go with him for being such a lying, whiny bitch.
Fauci’s lies are his real crime.
We knew this was coming. By November people will believe Trump funded the research and paid the shipping to bring the virus here. If it ever is proven that the vaccines are killing people, it will become Trump’s vaccine overnight. I can hear it now, ‘Trump rushed this poison into production to try and save his political life.’
From last summer...

“...This policy change was made after consulting with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention officials and other health experts. The new policy provides applicants, as well as medical authorities, coroners and jurisdictions, flexibility to attribute a death to COVID-19 without amending the death certificate. The change also provides flexibility with documentation for the period before the CDC-published and implemented COVID-19 death certificate guidance in the spring of 2020.”
Let’s have a look at all those CoupFlu deaths, why don’t we...
To my mind, Fauci funded the "gain of function" research at Wuhan, and despite his protestations, the facts support that the NIH, under his leadership did fund the research.
He was intimately aware of the nature and consequences of the covid virus 'getting into the 'wild'.
It was Fauci who stated, publicly, to the nation, that it wasn't transmissible from human-to-human.
The Chinese government and military, who run the institute at Wuhan lied about transmission, covered it up,
and even persecuted the doctors who first diagnosed and identified the virus, and destroyed all the medical documents.
Last I knew, the Wuhan Institute is still operating and is continuing to do research, without our oversight.
Dumbocrats say that Fauci is a scientist and not a politician, but this statement by Fauci says, without a doubt, that he is a politician. He lost all credence once he funded "gain of function" .
Good post.
Fauci is up to his ass in the Wuhan Lab and did everything he could to protect China. His actions have killed many.
Dr. Fauci said in March that the Trump Administration was doing everything possible to combat the coronavirus. He said the response was "impressive" and that he couldn't imagine "anybody could be doing more." pic.twitter.com/aZsl1V06kJ— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 10, 2020
Fauci paid for the gain-of-function experiment in Wuhan that resulted in the pandemic.
Excellent find there.
It would be nice to be a liberal socialist, not being encumbered and hindered by little things like stuff I previously said, thimgs like facts, morals, the truth...
Err…look in the mirror, Mengele.
Trump didn’t push that virus.
*You* did, you evil little gnome.
In other words, that was our fault, not China's.
I was on serious oxygen but not a respirator. The hospital was out of icu beds.
