Did Fauci Admit Defeat on New COVID Restrictions?
PJ ^ | APR 10, 2022 | MATT MARGOLIS

In a stunning change of rhetoric, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the architect of our nation’s COVID-19 response, seemingly conceded on Sunday that new government restrictions weren’t going to happen and that it’s now up to Americans to assess their own risk and act accordingly. Hallelujah!

“This is not going to be eradicated, and it’s not going to be eliminated,” Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. “And what’s going to happen is that we’re going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take.”

Fauci said that Americans will have to consider their age, vaccination status, and other factors to determine what precautions they want to take.

“We’re at that point where, in many respects, … we’re going to have to live with some degree of virus in the community,” he added.

This about-face comes less than two weeks after Fauci warned that new COVID restrictions could happen in response to the BA.2 omicron subvariant. He shied away from using the word “lockdowns” but suggested that mask mandates and other restrictions might return.

Fauci’s pivot to individual choice marks the first time he’s ever entertained the idea that people can assess their own risk and take whatever precautions they feel are appropriate. This, frankly, is what we should have done all along.

I can only imagine how bad the polling must have been for Fauci to shy away from the possibility of dictating new restrictions.

In December 2020, Birx indicated that she would retire from government soon after Joe Biden assumed office, stating that she would “stay as long as needed and then retire” and that her tenure had “been a bit overwhelming” and was “very difficult on my family”.[49][50] Birx’s announcement came after news broke that she hosted three generations of her own family from two households during Thanksgiving after she had urged Americans to restrict such gatherings to “your immediate household”.[51] On January 20, 2021, her term ended.[52] Afterwards, Birx stated that she often considered quitting her position as White House coronavirus response coordinator under the Trump administration due to the administration’s hyper-partisanship, especially during the 2020 presidential election.[45][53][54] Birx also asserted that the Trump administration “censored” her “science-based guidance” and that she was also “being deliberately blocked,” from appearing on national media outlets for a time.[citation needed]

George W. Bush Institute
In March 2021, Birx joined the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas, Texas, as a senior fellow, working on initiatives to reduce health disparities and prepare for future pandemics.

She retired a few months after telling everybody to stay at home and not to travel during the 2020 holiday season. She got busted for ignoring her own advice.

“This is not going to be eradicated, and it’s not going to be eliminated,”

Pretty sure about 50 million US citizen knew that 18 months ago
