50 percent of you hate me because you think I'm trying to destroy the country - Dr. Fauci 10/7/20

The nation's leading infectious diseases expert, said Tuesday that as many as 400,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 if action isn’t taken in the fall and winter.
Fauci told attendees of a virtual event held by American University that between 300,000 and 400,000 could die from coronavirus in the country.
“The models tell us if we don't do what we need to in the fall and winter, we could have 300,000-400,000 COVID-19 deaths," American University quoted the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as saying.
Fauci’s prediction goes beyond a University of Washington study from August that said as many as 300,000 people could die of COVID-19 by Dec. 1.
As of Wednesday morning, the U.S. has recorded 210,918 deaths and more than 7.5 million confirmed infections of COVID-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Fauci also asserted on Tuesday that a vaccine will probably not be available to most Americans until next summer or the fall, aligning with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield’s Senate testimony last month. Fauci said during an event on Monday that this means life may not return to normal until the end of next year.
At the American University virtual event, Fauci acknowledged the decreasing trust in him as a public official, especially among Republicans and those who believe the country needs to reopen fully.
"Maybe 50 percent of you hate me because you think I'm trying to destroy the country, but listen to me for six weeks or so, and do what I say, and you'll see the numbers go down," Fauci pleaded, according to the university.

He should go for the brass ring and say 400 million. That’ll scare those CNN viewers.
And don’t forget to blame the president!
The malignant hobbit...
You’re a real Pwned POS, Dr. Faux.
More like Gollum.
Well, if they’re Democrats...
Didn’t Biden say that 200 million would die?
I thought many millions could die?
Hey, you wouldn’t be lying to me would you?
Based on our current criteria of counting deaths, he’s probably right. How many of those deaths that Covid was the primary cause of is debatable.
RE: Fauci: As many as 400,000 Americans could die from coronavirus
And how many Americans will die anyway even without the Coronavirus?
On average, 2.5 to 2.6 million Americans die every year.
Have we compared the TOTAL NUMBER OF DEATHS in America ( from all causes) from January to October the previous years with this year?
More are going to die from dirty masks, from isolatoion and depression, from loss of their businesses, and from not going to the hospitals for necessary and elective care.
Then even more are going to die when empty hospitals start shutting down because of bankruptcy.
“but listen to me for six weeks or so, and do what I say, and you’ll see the numbers go down“
What a little fascist. And what about the far worse consequences of “listening to you”.
And have these models been right about anything, ever?
But the overall national case and death counts tells me it's not being widely used yet.
To be sure, he still doesn't want it and he still advocates masks because they reduce the amount of innoculum you get and are likely to result in a weaker case of covid.
There would be reason for hope (and a proper celebration) if fazi’s prediction was 400,001 ... for that “extra” 1.
3,300 Americans will die from abortions today
So, how about that?
And had Cuomo not sent seniors to "the chambers", even NYC would have fared better.
Now, BlASSio is playing NYC again. Probably in retaliation for Trump Voters shutting down 5th Avenue.
Exactly, probably not even statistically significant....but trying to explain that to math-illiterate people.
