Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Democrat-approved 'science' in 'trust the science,' appears to have just admitted to lying about COVID-19 herd immunity in order to goad more people into taking the vaccine, according to a new report in the New York Times.
At issue is the percentage of the population which must require resistance to the coronavirus - through infection or vaccination - in order for the disease to disappear.
Early into the pandemic, Fauci repeatedly claimed '60-70%' herd immunity was required to achieve herd immunity. Beginning around a month ago, however, Fauci's estimate drifted higher - to "70, 75 percent," and more recently telling CNBC "75, 80, 85 percent" and "75 to 80-plus percent."
When asked about it, Fauci essentially said he lied for political purposes due to vaccine skeptics.
In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.
Hard as it may be to hear, he said, he believes that it may take close to 90 percent immunity to bring the virus to a halt — almost as much as is needed to stop a measles outbreak.
Asked about Dr. Fauci’s conclusions, prominent epidemiologists said that he might be proven right. The early range of 60 to 70 percent was almost undoubtedly too low, they said, and the virus is becoming more transmissible, so it will take greater herd immunity to stop it.
Dr. Fauci said that weeks ago, he had hesitated to publicly raise his estimate because many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines, which they would need to accept almost universally in order for the country to achieve herd immunity.
And with polls now suggesting more Americans are willing to take the vaccines, Fauci (who said in November COVID-19 'won't be a pandemic for much longer') says he's ready to come clean.
"When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent," he said, adding "Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85."
"We need to have some humility here," Fauci then said. "We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent," because doing so might discourage Americans.
The Times' Ross Douthat called Fauci out for shifting the goalposts.
When you can't just "trust the science" because the scientists keep lying to you and then saying, "oh, that was just a noble lie, sorry about that."https://t.co/2SKAiGiBto pic.twitter.com/hl06rjM7tA — Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) December 24, 2020
Will Democrats give Fauci equal treatment to Trump, who was viciously attacked by the left for downplaying the virus during its early days in order to prevent a panic?
Yes.
THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER WHO HAD FAUCI’S NUMBER
FAUCI AND FRIENDS USE THE TOOL TO MAKE “VIRUS HYSTERIA” POSSIBLE
Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry in 1993, invented the most important research tool in biology in the last 50 years.
When Mullis was alive (he passed away last year), he railed against Fauci and others like him who were using it to run scam after scam.
In the 1980s and 90s, it was AIDS.
Today, well we can see where not keeping corrupt scientists under control has led us.

Dr. Fraudci is a confirmed liar.
Of course he lied. He is a Democrat.
The real tragidy is that when an actual, honest to God, killer pandemic comes, nobody will believe it and more people will die.
No he didn’t,it’s Fing just math you conspiracy loons. The current R0 is rising again and the UK strain is full on 70% more transmitable raising the R0 even further. OXFORD one of the foremost world authorities on epidemiological studies has this to say about herd immunity. Read it and try to understand the big words. Repeat after me if R0 is above 2.5 then yes it takes an 80+% serological penetration rate via vaccination or survival AND the retention of T/B cell immunity factors. It’s just science not some global conspiracy.
Devil doctor. We knew he was lying about everything. He changes his story every day. Every day. But Biden and all the Democrats are going to honor him as a hero for the cars. They will probably put a statue in statuary hall for him.
Linki no worki.
The whole damn thing is a lie.
The CDC is cooking the numbers about this to make people fearful.
The media is fanning the flames of fear.
The petty tyrant local politicians are using this to oppress the people.
When saving the country it’s okay to lie ,cheat or steal..For dems the end result is all that matters....

This SOB should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity.
They destroyed HQC and ivermectin so that they could meet statutory requirements for Emergency Use Authorization for vaccines.
Watch this doctor virtually in tears begging for the FDA to approve ivermectin.

Fauci and his cohorts silenced Dr. Mikovits when she wanted to warn the public of animal retrovirus in vaccines in 2009.
He transferred Gain of Function research to Wuhan when it was prohibited here.
He probably rivals the likes of Stalin and Hitler for deaths and human suffering that he has caused.
And there is more to come from him.
See what this top microbiologist has to say about it:

Interesting that you should say that.
An Italian woman who is a member of their Parliament wants Bill Gates tried for Crimes Against Humanity because of all the damage his so-called vaccines have done to people in India and Africa.
