Similarly, Fauci has offered two very different assessments of the mortality rate of COVID-19, writing in the New England Journal of Medicine in late March it could be about the same as a bad flu season and telling Congress a few weeks earlier it could be 10 times higher.
Fauci’s evolution on social distancing, at least in public, is a cogent reminder that the science of infectious diseases is constantly evolving and only as good as the data and assumptions input to make decisions.
On that count, Fauci has been remarkably consistent, telling the news media from the start he doesn’t rely on modeling to predict the outcomes of pandemics. “I have been and still am and will always be somewhat reserved and skeptical about models, because models are only as good as the assumptions that you put into the model,” he told Fox News last week.
In other words, scientists and doctors like Fauci are learning as they go along too.
There will be plenty of post-mortems that will judge Trump, Fauci, Congress, federal scientists, governors, and hospitals after the pandemic ends.
In the meantime, Fauci on Monday made clear he doesn't want his Easter Sunday comments on earlier social distancing to be taken as a swipe at Trump, saying his claim of a pushback was a "poor choice of words."
“The first and only time that I went in and said we should do mitigation strongly, the response was, ‘Yes, we’ll do it,’” Fauci said, explaining Trump's reaction to social distancing.
Meanwhile, Trump said Monday he has no plans to fire Fauci.

Good history if your not up to date..
Funny how when I post something..I all most always have to check government...crime and corruption
The country is doomed..there is stopping government now..
Eely. Whatever. Trump wants to hang onto him, and he’s behaving himself, for the moment.
Check YOUTUBE...Al Sharpton POLITICS NATION interview..Easter Sunday..Dr Fauci stated he had grave concerns in January and told Trump..Trump didn’t listen.... I think Fauci is trying to play both sides.
What has been constant is MSM attempts to cause discord in the Trump team.
And many fall for it.
With Fauci, it’s whatever the way the wind is blowing. Still don’t trust him.
Many of the fallen are right here among us
Evolved. What a thoroughly Orwellian beltway term.
The guy is a career bureaucrat. He know how to give conflicting information.
Next to nothing was known about this virus in January or February....thanks to China’ LIES and DECEPTIONS coupled with the WHO’s INCOMPETENCE!
Trump, Fauci, Democrats, media, their hired “experts” all said the same thing in the early months.
It was not until the outbreak started hitting Italy that the medical community was understanding how this virus worked.
Fauci is simply one of many (too many) advisers.
Notice, it is the MSM that are asking if he still beats his wife.
Always attempting to start some shite.
I always take my direction from MSM/ NEVER!

Let us not forget that it was Fauci who kept sending U.S. funds to China for the development of this virus, even after others in that academic loop declared the Chinese lab lax and unsafe. If this were a movie, it would defy belief that the same guy who paid for the research for this is set up as the country’s glorified savior from said virus.
