Fauci Downplays Lower Coronavirus Death Rate as ‘False Narrative’
Breitbart ^ | 7 Jul 2020 | NATE CHURCH

Posted on 07/07/2020 3:04:59 PM PDT by conservative98

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday that taking comfort in news of declining coronavirus death rates is a”false narrative” encouraging “complacency.”

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci downplayed the apparent low death rate of the novel coronavirus pandemic in a (internet streamed) press conference with Democrat Alabama Senator Doug Jones on Tuesday. He also emphasized that there was still a “window of opportunity” for the state to respond proactively to the outbreak.

“You’re not there yet, so you have an opportunity, a window to get your arms around this and to prevent it from getting worse,” Dr. Fauci said. “It’s not to the point where it’s out of hand and you know, very difficult to control. So you have a window of opportunity here, that as a state, you should not, you should, you know, take advantage of that window of opportunity.”

Fauci further characterized taking comfort in news about declining mortality as an empty comfort, claiming, “It’s a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death. There’s so many other things that are very dangerous and bad about this virus,” and warning the public not to “get yourself into false complacency.”

Actually you would say is that it is “good news” and to encourage people to not be complacent so the trend continues...not that it is a “false narrative.”

The President should drag the lying old Demagogic Party shill and onto the White House lawn, and beat him to death with a hammer.

Is a false narrative the same as a Fauci narrative?

That statement OFFICIALLY undercuts what Trump said in his White House event today.

NOW is it time to fire him, Mr. President?

When does Fauci get officially recognized as a special interest group? He has one access path to a microphone and camera, and is working it pretty hard.

There ultimately will be more deaths in America that could be linked to government overreaction and refusal to admit the overreactions to the disease than to the disease itself.

With ALL these people the key word is NARRATIVE. Reality is not fact based. There are no facts. Only competing narratives which choose the facts that support their narrative. See lierary deconstruction; Jacques Darrida and Michel Foucault.

Great. Who cares about fewer deaths among all those "little people"?

I'm glad he's come out with this. So he can be sent immediately on a crucial assignment to . . . let me think about that. The Sudan? I hear it's warm this time of year.

FAUCI False narrative in March: Don't wear mask, they won't help.

FAUCI False narrative in July: Everybody should wear mask all the time.

FAUCI False narrative in March: This won't likely kill many people.

FAUCI False narrative in April: Everybody is going to die.

FAUCI False narrative in July: Death rates are falling, but hey... That doesn't really mean anything.

Tony is a loser. My lawn care guy is a better predictor of the progress of the disease than Tony who is nothing more than the very best of the Administrative State bureaucrats. He knows how to advance his career and kiss the ass of the right politicians and he does this better than anyone. Given his predictions on this pandemic, he his approaching the Mendoza Line. For those of you not familiar with baseball, the Mendoza Line is the season batting average that falls below what is required to stay on a major league team roster. Tony certainly needs to be sent down to the minors or made available for assignment.

“It’s a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death.”

A lower health rate is not a “narrative” it’s a statistical fact.
