Fauci Says Noem’s CPAC Comments ‘Not Really Helpful,’ Warns About Potentially ‘More Dangerous’ Variants
The Daily Wire ^ | Mar 1, 2021 | Tim Pearce

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was playing to the crowd when she criticized him over the weekend.

Fauci appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan on Sunday to respond to Noem, who took a shot at him in a Saturday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that took place in Orlando, Fla., this weekend.

Noem, a Republican, has touted her state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and argued against heavy-handed lockdown policies pushed by Fauci and others. During her CPAC speech, Noem told the crowd, “I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.”

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, characterized Noem’s comments as “unfortunate” and “not really helpful.” He went on to say that criticizing him would land a “standing ovation” at the conference.

“You know, it’s unfortunate, but it is not really helpful because sometimes you think things are going well and just take a look at the numbers. They don’t lie,” Fauci said. “We see, Margaret, what happens when you pull back prematurely.”

Noem governed her state with a relatively light touch during the pandemic, using hospital capacity as a metric for when to institute emergency orders restricting residents. South Dakota currently boasts one of the smallest unemployment rates in the country at 3.7%, tied for fourth with Vermont. South Dakota ranks eighth nationally in the number of deaths from COVID-19 per capita.

Fauci continued, cautioning Americans of new variants of the disease that “are maybe even more dangerous” than the predominant strain of the coronavirus. Fauci has said that Americans may need to wear masks and social distance well into 2022 despite effective vaccines against COVID-19 currently inoculating millions of Americans against the disease.

Dr. Fallacy is always pushing some worst case scenario spreading fear. This after he said from the beginning there was nothing to worry about.

He well knew about the “gain of function” manipulation out fo the Level IV Wuhan BioLab.

Dr Fallacy sent millions to a ChiCom Lab and it’s well-known to be doing military bioweapon work.

He needs to be arrested.

Fauci’s fortune is tied to the pandemic, like Frankenstein and his monster.

The quick development of effective vaccines and getting them to the public in an unheard of time frame..all thanks to Trump’s Warp Speed Program.. is eroding Fauci’s control. Remember early on the CDC said it would take years to produce a vaccine. Now faced with the eradication of COVID, Fauci must develop a new narrative to keep fear going. Of course there. Will always be new strains that the press will whip up to panic. Fauci is a fraud. Noem is right to point out how often his expertise was flawed if not contradictory

"He needs to be arrested."

He needs to be hanged for global crimes against humanity.

Oh, AFTER THE FAIR TRIAL, mind you.

The variants that I’ve heard about may spread more quickly, but I don’t recall reading anything indicating that they’re more dangerous to your health.

Please put the bong down, Fauci.

Coronavirus PING!

The risk of dangerous mutations exists an order of magnitude greater than would have been otherwise had policies been enacted on the basis of science and not of fear & control.

No.

I'm going to enroll Dr. Fauci as a patient at my county's Mental Health Department.

PING!

Can’t we ban Fauci from getting publicity here?

He has nothing to say worth hearing.

He needs to be arrested.


Since it is well known by now that he is either a nut case or part of a group that is trying to destroy the US, why does the news media keep quoting every word he says?

Normal people, once they identify a nut case, ignore the nut case. If they mention them at all, it is usually in jest.

In short, responsible news media would treat him as a fool, a joke.

If he is a traitor, every mention of his name should be preceded by “traitor”.

But in either case he should be denied credibility.
