After awarding praise to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci on CNN Tuesday refused to comment on Cuomo’s brewing nursing home scandal.
Asked about Cuomo’s decision to pack nursing homes full of vulnerable residents with COVID-positive patients, Fauci, who is now President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, punted the football.
“You’re a New Yorker yourself, though you don’t live there right now. Andrew Cuomo is coming under criticism now for the big move back to long-term care facilities in the midst of this crisis here,” said “CNN Newsroom” host Jim Sciutto, according to WFMZ-TV.
“[Cuomo has] argued that his state was following federal guidelines when he ordered those long-term care facilities to accept patients returning from hospitals. I wonder, can you clear that up. Was he actually following federal guidelines to do that?” Sciutto asked.
“You know, Jim, I can’t. I mean, I’m sorry. I’m really. I’m honestly not trying to evade your question, but I’m not really sure of all the details of that, and I think if I make a statement, it probably could either be incorrect or taken out of context,” Fauci responded.

“So, I prefer not to comment on that,” he concluded.
Fauci, who has directed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, of course, heaped a great deal of praise on New York’s leaders last year, more than once.
“We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York,” Fauci told “PBS NewsHour” of his native state last July.

“Governor Kodos did everything right! Shame on you for not following the same science like he did!” railed Dr. Fasci.
The dwarfish little puke is a swamp rat.
My prediction is that gov homo will receive the hillary treatment.
Plus, Cuomo's handling has been a disaster. It's only been a success if your metric is high deaths per 100,000 not low.
He loves the camera and the platform.. it must really be bad for him not to respond
Throw Fauxi into the class action lawsuit.
That lackey just cashed a check from Israel
There were emails on Wikileaks from Fauci showering love on Hillary. He's a dirty little cheat, stealing others work to promote himself while being mediocre or worse.
Remember this was all about Nursing Home deaths and Cuomo's order to send sick folks to the homes.
My gut tells me that Cuomo and his people were instructed by Fauci himself as to how to manipulate the numbers which showed less than half of the nursing home deaths.
Listening to Cuomo say "the total is the same"...makes me think that it is EXACTLY what Fauci told him in their little plot to manipulate the Nursing home deaths.
This guy is a closet Leftist.
He’ll hang folks out to dry, but not Lefties.
He seems more of a politician than a medical professional.
for once, Fauxi keeps his opinion to himself! what a joke.
I’d bet you’re absolutely correct.
To push my gut call a little further...About this same time, Fauci said he was talking to Chris EVERY DAY and this went on for a long time....so there was a back door.
He can’t say anything. He’ll have to give back that million dollar prize.
Dems threw Hillary over for Obama. They'll throw Cuomo over for Attorney General Letitia James. She wants his job.
Fauci goes silent?
Praise the Lord!
so...in light of Cuomo, is Failci going to give the Israeli prize back?
or will he donate it, seeing he’s on the govt payroll and all?
The two jokesters, the modern day “DeNiro and Pacino”.
It’s all fun and games to Cuomo.
