Yes, the question to Fauci was ‘how many lives were lost’ instead of ‘how many lives were saved’. Considering that the models predicted millions and then hundreds of thousands of deaths, Fauci has nothing to say about anything. He is a quack.

Exactly change his role freeze him out firing just pours gas. Deborah will remain a problem she is just as bad but more dangerous anything she knows she will tell Fauci. Unfortunately I don’t see Trump even doing that. Even after Rosenweasel set Trump up he kept his position.

He’s definitely putting Fauci on notice. Trump’s not going to allow him to accuse the Trump admin of things that Fauci was actually saying. “We have the tapes. Think twice.”

At 79, Fauci has earned a gold watch and the thanks of a grateful nation as he is ushered into a well-earned retirement

Guardian/NYT/CNN. what was Fauci doing on CNN?

12 Apr: Guardian: Fauci confirms New York Times report Trump rebuffed social distancing advice
Health adviser says on CNN ‘you could logically say if you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives’
by Martin Pengelly
Prominent US public health adviser Dr Anthony Fauci appeared on Sunday to confirm a bombshell New York Times report which said he and other Trump administration officials recommended the implementation of physical distancing to combat the coronavirus in February, but were rebuffed for almost a month.

Asked on CNN’s State of the Union why the administration did not act when he and other officials advised, Fauci said: “You know … as I have said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often, the recommendation is taken. Sometimes, it’s not.
“…It is what it is. We are where we are right now.”...

CNN host Jake Tapper asked if Fauci thought “lives could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures had started [in the] third week of February, instead of mid-March”.
“It’s very difficult to go back and say that,” Fauci said. “I mean, obviously, you could logically say, that if you had a process that was ongoing, and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is going to deny that.
“But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you’re right. I mean, obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”

Since the White House issued physical distancing guidelines on 16 March, much of the US has gone into lockdown, shuttering the economy and leading to unprecedented and potentially ruinous unemployment.
Chafing against such conditions in an election year, Donald Trump has voiced an eagerness to reopen the economy as early as 1 May...

On Sunday, Fauci, other experts and governors of hard-hit states were skeptical...

so the President should accept a ruined economy?

Fire Fauci.

From what I heard, Dr. Fauci told Jakey Tapper that he no longer wished to be a part of the ChinaVirus Task Force. I also understood him to say that he is submitting his retirement papers for his cushy 30 plus year job with the National Institute of Health (NIH).

I am more than certain that is exactly what he said.

Don’t fire either of them. Just marginalize them by bringing other doctors onto the stage and having them handle the questions

Trump probably was shown Fauci engaged in foreplay gesturing with some of the demented network reporters.

That is the oldest trick in The Fake News Media playbook. I'm fact it might be the ONLY trick in the playbook.

Ask the same question in several different ways until they paint their target into a corner and then come the next day with, "So and so SAYS..."No. Fauci didn't SAY it. He was answering a question from someone who has years of experience in asking leading questions of a guy who is not experienced enough to spot one when he hears one and falls into the trap.

BTW, I am not a Fauci fanboy.

LIES. Trump did not say #FireFauci, though I would TOTALLY support him if he did. He was answering another tweet, saying that the media is LYING about what was said by whom back in February. LIARS!

I’m looking for the February 29th comment by Dr Fauci where he said there was nothing to worry about. I have the February 17th similar comment

russian collusion conspiracy was nothing compared to what the deep state is seeking to pull off now.

They would destroy the country in order to get Trump out of there. That's how demented they are. They would have us begging, and dying, in the street and see everything shut down just to get Biden (or someone else) in the White House. The only problem is, there would not be much of a country to go back to. It would take decades to undo the damage.
