Fauci: As many as 400,000 Americans could die from coronavirus
The Hill ^ | - 10/07/20 07:30 AM EDT | JUSTINE COLEMAN

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.

This is the same guy who said 25 million Americans would die from AIDS.

Then he decided that we didn’t need to screen the blood supply for HIV antigen. Killed 10,000’s of people.

A bureaucrat exists to pro long problems, not solve them. Fauci is a bureaucrat, first, second and third.

FSU I is obviously working for the deep state and wants to crash the economy.
Many other physicians including epidemiologists do NOT AGREE with him.

Could? That many Americans could die from car crashes. The message from Fauci is stay locked down...be afraid.

“As many as 400,000 Americans”

Based on the recent WHO numbers, I figure 426,711 deaths, assuming absolutely every single man, woman and child in the US gets infected. And not including deaths due to suicide, drug abuse, spousal abuse, reduced access to medical care, etc.

Biden in his Gettysburg Address yesterday said that another 210,000 Americans may die by the end of the year (unless, of course, he is elected). So Fauci may be running interference for Biden.

This world is a very interesting place and the altitude of freedoms that some people get away with can be very astounding!

There are several vocations where you can be proven to be WRONG for 100% of the time and still get to keep your jobs!

Some of these very special people are Economists, Weathermen (esp the Global Warming/Climate Change flavors), Sociologists, Politicians, Researchers, Religious Leaders & Preachers of all flavors and of course Journalists of the MSM.

For that last one, it seems that lying and shunning the TRUTH is a core part of their job description, as many of them are actually political activists wearing a Press Pass.

Right, like that time you and your pals asked us to just accept the boot on our neck for just two weeks to flatten the curve. Now that the boot is there we don't really get choices anymore but that said, I'm never buying what you are selling you traitorous hack.

As if this isn’t political. Scare everyone right before an election. Last week he said we would have vaccine by December now he is saying next summer.

Since there are no consequences for making wild guesses to raise fear or profit from vaccines he is personally invested in why not go for huge numbers.
Imagine a world where people are held accountable for the damage they cause with wild statements.
