Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious diseases expert, emphasized the dangers of Covid-19 on Tuesday, contradicting President Donald Trump's false claim that the coronavirus was only as deadly as the flu.

People infected with Covid-19 do display "flu-like" symptoms, Fauci said Tuesday in an interview with NBC News' Kate Snow. But the damage the coronavirus can do "is very much different from influenza."

I was watching Laura last night and Trump is correct. Ages 0-24 the flu is more deadly. Fauci can shut his attention whore mouth.

Math, and thus statistics, is racist.

Where is the contradiction on how deadly it is? I see he ways it is different.

He should know...the traitorous, PIAPS-loving POS likely assisted the CCP in it’s development and release.
He needs to be behind bars...at GITMO, facing a death penalty sentence for treason, mass murder and crimes against humanity.

The only people who are really at risk are those with one foot already in the grave. And even then, it may have no impact. My friend’s 94 year old dad with severe dementia tested positive back in May. He never showed symptoms.

This virus is a farce, as far as something to be avoided. The Swedish response is the best.

Some people are not happy unless the universe revolves around them and he appears to be one of them. I do believe humility was never his strong side.

Always remember to be humble!
You are only a visitor, subject to recall at any moment. You are no more than a speck of dust within the scope of time, space and eternity. All granted by the good grace of your creator.

“Umm what? The @who now estimates that 750,000,000 people have gotten the ro? Which, at 1 million death, would put the death rate at 1 in 750 (even with overcounting, etc) - or 0.13%. That’s the lowest estimate I’ve ever seen. Say it with me: IT’S THE FLU.”

...contradicting President Donald Trump’s false claim...

An unbiased news source would not have inserted the word, “false”. That sentence is all fact except for that one word, which is opinion.

This is why I dumped TV in 1997. Having a binary brain, I was able to easily spot opinion peppered into news stories in the 6:00 news back in the 70’s. It always irritated me.

It actually isn’t as deadly because babies and young children don’t die from it.

Deep State Fauci belongs in prison.

[glorgau]

Pope Fauci speaking ex-cathedra again.

Al Sharpton said Africans invented math, until them Greek homos stole it from the Black man.

[AFB-XYZ]

Someone needs to shut Fauci’s mouth for him, since he seems unwilling to do it on his own.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Can’t say this enough.

Douglas MacArthur was fired for being insubordinate just ONE time.

Fauci makes it a daily event.

Mr. President??????

[Don Corleone]

Fauci=the modern iteration of Dr.Mengele.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I’m tired of Fauci and the politics of Covid-Xi.

[kempster]

So much for science.

Someone needs to shut Fauci’s mouth for him, since he seems unwilling to do it on his own.

That was Mike Pence's job. And he was an EPIC FAIL.

"Dr. Fauci contradicts Trump's false claim that Covid-19 is as deadly as flu"

They state it's a false claim as if that was a fact.

No bias there.

[IrishBrigade]

‘Someone needs to shut Fauci’s mouth for him’

that someone should be none other than Mike Pence, who allowed this doofus free reign from the very start...

Mr. Pence has much to answer to...
