Or the counterargument that Fauci knows this is burning itself out quickly and by pushing masks he’ll be able to take credit.

If the country had reopened after 14 days pause to slow the spread, we would be done with this by Memorial Day. Instead we are just prolonging the pain.

Thank you.

Saul Alinsky wrote that ridicule was a potent political weapon. He was right.

It’s more likely that the numbers in AZ TX and FL are coming down because of herd immunity. Fauci doesn’t mention that.

Those over 85 years of age, without co-morbidities (organ transplant, heart & breathing problems, type 2 diabetes, morbidly obese, etc) but with decent Vitamin D3 and Zinc levels

How many 85+ year olds do you reckon there are with no co-morbidities?

Remember in the 1980s he predicted AIDS would break out into the heterosexual population. It didn’t !

I remember back then seeing/hearing an interview (talk radio or a tv show...don't remember which) with a homosexual activist who was encouraging homos to donate blood, because the only way funds would be forthcoming for AIDS research was if straights were at risk.

‘Yes - the fire is running out of timber to burn’

Based on what I have read, you need really high numbers of people to obtain herd immunity. We are no where near close to those numbers. The science and numbers are showing the public health measures in place after working while allowing the economy to remain mostly open.

‘If we practice proper public health measures, as we are doing in Arizona, Florida and Texas, we can drop the rate of spread quickly and don’t have to close down.lls us’

yeah...? Fauci could have told us that five months ago, and we’d have been in the same situation...except we’d be that much closer to the herd immunity that is the only option other than vaccine...

so now he tells us...?

I almost didn't go to work today after watching CBS This Morning basically saying we will all die from Covid unless we hide in our basements until after the election and demand the GOP cave to Dems so we can live on our $600/month welfare payments.

Masks of course. You can’t get to heard immunity wearing masks. That’s why they push them. They want to drag this out.

I’m thinking that one of us has to get our sarcasm meters tuned...hopefully it’s mine...

Well then there are additional things you need to read. Start out by searching on T cell immunity and covid.

It’s likely that upwards of 70 percent of the population has it.

Search out covid case curve. Notice that when 10 percent of the population has been infected the cases start to go down. Then notice that when the number of cases reach 20 percent, the number of new cases become a trickle.

That’s likely herd immunity. That’s science.

The county I live in likely has it.

If it really pans out that way.......if Covid-19 becomes a non-issue........then my thoughts that this virus will linger for at least another year, is so very very very wrong.

If after the Election (my guess mid November when all of the votes will be done getting counted) and when Trump is re-elected, and this whole Covid crap was BS I will not only be so very wrong, but stunned and it will change my view on the ability of the Left to organize so well.

I hope I am wrong. My remorse will be great. I hope Covid leaves our lives for good.

But if it vanishes and is no longer a concern, I will admit my gross errors.

Fauci is all over the map with his predictions or thoughts.
He already has zero credibility.
But to choose November for Covid to be dismissive or a non-concern......is very odd to say the least.

Just 3 months away? Wow.

Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert

What facts is this statement based on?
