How come Fauci escapes any blame?
The man has contradicted himself on everything he has ever said.
I heard him live on the Cats Round table tell John Catsimatidis that the virus was not a threat to the United States and we had nothing to worry about.

I heard that same interview. Fauci dismissed the Covid as, at most, a case of the sniffles.

Was that before or after Covid-19 entered the country?

When Covid-19 was an outbreak in China, I was not worried. I recognized its pandemic potential immediately, but it was confined to China. It simply was not a risk at the time. Even when a case appeared in the US in late January, I still did not see much to worry about; plenty of exotic diseases have been introduced to the US and were stopped by our healthcare system. Only when it started spreading in the US did it become a true threat.

I'm certain that Fauci was looking at the same dynamics that I was, and changing his assessment of the situation as it changed.

I, too, told my family that there was nothing to worry about early on. But I also was watching the situation and changing what I told them as time went by and the situation changed.

I worked in pandemic response for a portion of my career, and the habit of watching for emerging diseases never left me.
