'The View' gives Fauci a pass over coronavirus comments, claims he was 'hero' of the pandemic
Fox News ^ | April 28, 2022 | Brandon Gillespie

During The View's opening segment, which continued its constant criticism of former President Donald Trump's administration, co-host Joy Behar excused Fauci's "walk back," saying that "science evolves and changes," as co-host Sunny Hostin declared him a "hero" of the pandemic.

Behar began the segment by criticizing Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under Trump, and comparing her to Dr. Fauci, who she admitted caused messaging troubles for the Biden administration with his pandemic remarks.

"The Biden administration is also having trouble staying on message with the experts after Dr. Fauci had to walk back his assessment of the state of the pandemic," she said before playing a video clip of Fauci's comments on PBS.

"Fauci clarified that we're in a different moment of the pandemic. You know, science evolves and changes," Behar said, leading the co-hosts in criticism of Birx's performance under Trump.

Hostin and co-host Sara Haines praised Fauci's performance throughout the pandemic amid their criticism of Birx, specifically pointing to what they called his willingness to "speak up" when he felt Trump was giving incorrect information.

"There were very few heroes in this pandemic, I noticed. Very few," Behar later claimed.

"I think Fauci was one of them," Hostin responded.

"Fauci, we at least can follow him," Behar agreed. "He changes things, but that's science, you know?"

Not my View.

I wonder what would happen if someone on another channel or public access had “The Other View”

the whole “in the public interest” fcc thing might be interesting.

p.s. if you ever go to your local cable regional hq always bring a laptop with a dvd drive and ask to see their “ public access file”

prepare to spend enough time to copy it, and for the ass kissing.

Bonus, if you ever have issues, you are priority

You know that old joke/ retort

’ are you a natural b!tch, or did you go to school for it ?”

The veiw IS that school.

The karen phenomenon not being a thing before that show lends credence to my theory.

I've wanted to say this for a long time...Birx and Fauci sold and threw Trump under the bus. I was angered with Birx’ interview with Stephanopolous when she arrogantly derided Trump for the suggestion and she and Fauci didn't help or mention history of treatments. The liberals are still vilifying him for suggesting that they could develop a disinfectant to kill the virus. That isn't too far out of what has been done in history to treat disease. The first drug to treat syphilis was arsenic. Who would have thought injecting arsenic for a treatment? Another drug orally administered turned into formaldehyde in the kidneys and was a bladder antiseptic. Another drug nitrofurantoin orally taken was also a urinary antiseptic that treated a myriad of infections. Both Birx and Fauci should have had Trump's back and explained his statement wasn't far off the mark for one not educated in microbiology and virology. The press went ballistic vilifying Trump and calling him ignorant when in reality he wasn't far off the mark for a novel treatment with out of the box possibilities. I would have sent Trump this message but Google makes it all but impossible to find a current way to contact the former President.

My take on Birx is she vastly over estimated deaths and serious disease from covid and was a lockdown advocate that coordinated with many of the states. I think one of the reasons she retired at the end of Trump's term, was she had to know lockdowns didn't do squat to stop the virus and figured it was a good time leave. She has resurfaced to sell a book and blame others.

My take on Fauci is he will throw anybody under the bus that gets in his way...
