Fauci warned of 'unintended consequences' of 'draconian' quarantines during 2014 Ebola outbreak
| Fox News ^ | 45 minutes ago 2/19/21 | By Michael Ruiz

Resurfaced interviews show Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease since 1984, was opposed to "draconian" quarantines that could have "unintended consequences" – back in 2014 during an Ebola outbreak in Africa.

He warned in late October of that year that enforcing mandatory quarantines would discourage medical professionals from volunteering aid in stricken areas. Governors from both major parties had imposed mandatory 21-day quarantines on people returning from affected countries in an effort to prevent the virus from spreading into the U.S.

"The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Africa, and we need those health care workers -- so we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to even volunteer to go," he said at the time.

In an October 2014 interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, Fauci declined to criticize both Govs. Andrew Cuomo, of New York, and Chris Christie, of New Jersey, over the quarantines – but warned that "we have to be careful that there aren't unintended consequences."

"The best way to stop this epidemic is to help the people in West Africa," he told Todd. "We do that by sending people over there, not just from the U.S.A, but from other places. We need to treat them, returning people, with respect…They’re really heroes, so the idea that we’re being a little bit draconian, there are other ways to protect."

Those other ways included various levels of monitoring, he said.

"Go with the science," he said.

Fauxcy has NO mathematical Science to use for his random verbal pronouncements.

He’s a total anecdote.

And Ebola does kill you. About 60% of the time IIRC.

Now.

After the election was stolen, with their assistance.

Now, the so-called “news” media reports this.

Fauci and the red-head are thinking to themselves: “Gawd, this hack is stupid.”

2014 Tony Fauci:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, warned Sunday against "draconian" requirements for health care workers returning from West Africa, suggesting that mandatory quarantines may go too far.

"I don't want to be directly criticizing the decision that was made but we have to be careful that there aren't unintended consequences," Fauci said of the 21-day mandatory quarantines instituted at airports in New York and New Jersey.

Entirely different circumstances.In 2014 Rat Party operatives like Fauxi knew that massive interruptions to the economy could hurt his fellow Maoists in '16. But about a year ago Trump was headed toward a 45 state landslide in November.

So what better time was there to bring the nation's economy to its knees...and blame Trump!

That filthy,despicable,little runt!

"Governors of both parties are reacting to an absence of leadership and belief that the federal government knows what they are doing," he said on CNN's State of the Union program.

Fauci is a doctor who has risen to heights beyond his simple nature. There are many who have done as well in other fields, just getting ahead because they said things that sound wise. Fauci is a political animal, a liberal that hated President Trump and worked against him while he pretended to be on the team.
“Draconian” is working hard to prevent Hydroxychloriquine (sp)?
from being given to sick people dying of Covid-19, knowing that it has been used successfully for YEARS!
My wife thought that he was a nice little Italian man!
Well, to me, and most, he was a Jerk.
Now, don’t get me started on Mr.VPence.....

“People who are not ill and do not have sympotoms, they are not a threat. They are not going to spread it. So we have to be careful when we make policies that we don’t have unintended consequences where you group everyone in the same category.”

Tony Fauci, 2014, CNN

Cuomo is now under fire for sending Covid patients back into nursing homes. I knew about this many months ago, probably learned it here on freerepublic.

I also remember that Cuomo sabotaged the hydroxychloroquine treatment when he was allowed to test its use. I think it was all the way last spring. It was already known that it worked in combination with zinc if given early in the disease progression. In the New York experiment though it was used only in hospitalized patients who were already far along in the diseased progression. So they “proved” that it did not work .... by using it as it was not intended.

The drug called Tamiflu works if taken within three days of symptoms in the regular flu. There is no reason to take it later because then it has no effect. If the same is proven true for HCQ + zinc, Will Cuomo and Fauci be held accountable?

“ So what better time was there to bring the nation’s economy to its knees...and blame Trump!”

The entire democrat and media class projected their intentions as it was becoming clear that Trump was gonna monkey stomp the ‘peachment. There was a constant lament thatthe only way to take out orange man was for the economy to collapse...and as if by magic the entire economy just Suddenly had to be shut down

They imported people with Ebola to the Us where they ran in the streets.

The ACLU won a victory that you couldn’t force them to stay home.
