As Long As Dr. Fauci Is A God There will be no return to normal for as long as Anthony Fauci's word reigns supreme. There's too large a population that now just wants the government to tell them exactly what to do.
>White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci traded barbs with South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem on CBS Sunday, speaking one after the other on the flagship political program over whether aggressive endless lockdowns serve the public’s best interest.
Fauci first responded to Noem, who celebrated her state’s triumphant success protecting the vulnerable while its economy remained open, in direct rebuke to Fauci, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend.
“We never focused on the case numbers. Instead we kept our eye on hospital capacity. Now Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day, I’d have 10,000 patients in the hospital. On our worst day, we had a little over 600,” Noem touted at the annual gathering of grassroots conservatives. “Now, I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.”
Fauci called the governor’s remarks “unfortunate.”
“It’s not really helpful,” Fauci told CBS’ Margaret Brennan. “Just take a look at the numbers. They don’t lie.”

The numbers don’t lie, but Dr. Fauci does, and he’s openly admitted it. When asked what the threshold must be for the nation to reach herd immunity in the early days of the pandemic, Fauci kept putting the number at 60 to 70 percent vaccination. Later, he upped the number to “70, 75 percent,” before he pushed it to “75, 80, 85 percent.”
In December, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) director admitted he had been lying about those numbers because “when polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine… I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit.'” In other words, it was time to make threats.
“What I did though, was tell my people the truth,” Noem said on CBS directly after Fauci’s appearance.

Yet Noem hasn’t enjoyed even a fraction of the glowing press coverage endlessly afforded to the infectious disease expert who spent a career failing upwards to make the government bureaucrat something more than just a political celebrity: the ultimate arbiter of pandemic truth.
At this point, it’s not just presidents and governors who stand in the way of a return to normal, although their opposition to the draconian lockdowns they’ve implemented with remarkable ease would certainly help. It’s our new obsession with Fauci’s every word far beyond the confines of the White House coronavirus task force. What help is it if a state governor repeals a mask mandate only for your local mayor to implement his own? What good is the total absence of a government mask mandate if your local establishments mandate their own?
Of course, the latter way of operating is always how things should have been, where a free society allows an educated public to decide what’s best in their own interest. If nothing else has been made clear in the last year, however, it’s the United States is no longer actually a free society.
There will be no return to normal for as long as Dr. Fauci’s word reigns supreme. There’s too large a population that now just wants the government to tell them exactly what to do, accepting the pandemic era as a new normal while demanding everybody else live their lives in a way to afford them absolute zero risk. Like Fauci, these types usually haven’t worried about a forgone paycheck amid endless lockdowns.
“If normality means exactly the way things were before we had this happen to us, I mean, I can’t predict that,” Fauci said on CNN on when the U.S. could return to normal, as if the decision were up to him — which, at this point, it is.
Viral infections, Fauci said, must be “to a baseline that’s so low it is virtually no threat” to even consider normality. Then he went on to raise hysteria about new variants, which will allow Fauci to extend the lockdown timeline indefinitely.
There’ll always be a new variant around the corner. There’ll always be another excuse for a new lockdown. That’s the precedent that’s been set. That’s the new normal, even as one professor at Johns Hopkins University estimates the United States will reach herd immunity by April.
On masks, Fauci says Americans ought to prepare to wear them through 2022. In fact, he went on the “Today” show to teach Americans how to wear two masks just less than a year later after infamously telling the public in March 2020, “there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”
Vaccination status, on the other hand, doesn’t render a golden ticket for Americans to return to restaurants and movie theatres in Fauci’s world, or even a ticket to drop the mask.
Meanwhile, Fauci has been one of the most inconsistent individuals on the coronavirus of the past year. Vaccines and masks aside, Fauci flip-flopped on schools, as outlined by independent journalist Jordan Schactel, demanding schools be closed then open based on local infections then primarily online then back in-person if community infection rates are low then closed in-person. Then he claimed he always said schools should be open.
On protests last summer, such as the militant Black Lives Matter protests excused and encouraged by leftist reporters and politicians, the nation’s preeminent COVID authority told House lawmakers, “I’m not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way,” then demanded church choirs shut their mouths
“Choirs should refrain from singing,” Fauci said. “When you sing and you project your voice, the aerosols of the virus come out.”
Fauci has been critical of governors who rebuke his demands while propping up leftist governors who obeyed them, much to their expense.
“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 in July, touting Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the next six months before legacy media finally picked up on the governor’s nursing home scandal, the severity of which Cuomo covered up.
But the numbers don’t lie. New York is home to the highest death rate in the country.
Fraudxi needs to be crucified.
I actually worked in an office in 1972-1973 with a woman who had been a child in Hitler's Germany. She defended "some" of the Nazi ideas and said "America has too much freedom. In Germany we learned people with too much freedom feel uneasy and nervous. They find they like having the government make a lot of the decisions for them. Too much freedom is not a good thing."
I see so much of that today. Dems pass out money as entitlements or "stimulus" and have people depend on the health system. People largely say that's fine.
Aggravating!
Nah, just cease all of his and family’s assets, money, property, etc. Make them homeless and destitute as a warning to others. These elites need to be humiliated and shamed. Let them die in poverty on the streets.
He’s NOT a GOD....he’s a FRAUD!!! He MUST BE PUNISHED!
Fauci became a celebrity due to his TV appearances. He joined the ranks of famous people who know nothing, but go on TV to tell everyone about it.
Fauci became an alternative to Trump. Think about it. The left politicized Covid to hurt Trump through their media minions. In order to do that, you needed a foil to Trump. Somebody “he did not listen to” so they made Fauci into that person.
Remember all the articles and pundits saying Fauci is the one we should listen to and “Trump does not listen to him”?
They built him up on a pedestal. He might want to look towards Cuomo to see his future...... Just saying. He served his purpose, but now the data does not fit, his flip-flops are magnified, and his emails showing collusion with the CCP and WHO as well as funding decisions are suddenly “indefensible”.
“We never focused on the case numbers. Instead we kept our eye on hospital capacity. Now Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day, I’d have 10,000 patients in the hospital. On our worst day, we had a little over 600,” Noem touted at the annual gathering of grassroots conservatives. “Now, I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.” - Kristi Noem
#FACTS
Reminds me of when that airhead actress Meryl Streep testified before Congress about a growth regulator used by apple farmers. Even though she didn't know a thing about how the chemical worked, the drive-by media swooned over her testimony.
Internally contradictory.
Fauci did not create the population that wants to be told exactly what to do. I've done nothing but COVID since March 2020, and take it from me, the demands from gen pop to be "told exactly what to do" are massive and unrelenting.

The FauXi goals:
Flatten the economy.
Stop the spread of conservatism
Eliminate FREEDOM.
“God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to us!!!!”
Fauci does not even come in second! Or twenty-fifth!!!!
Maybe it’s time for Fauci to retire! Or at least go back to the lab!!!
It’s not about too much freedom. It’s about anxiety... the anxiety of having to grow up into responsible adulthood and leave the safety net(coddling) of dependency beyond adolescence and parental entitlement; and then having to find a purpose or pursuit.
Those kinds of people end up WANTING perpetual dependency the same as institutionalized inmates who fear the outside world beyond the regiment of prison life. They demand government delegation of their lives in order to feel normal because they are too afraid of liberty, free choice and the consequences & accountability that go with it. Failure and self-reliance makes them desperate and scares the crap out of them. And of course you will find most of these personalities/types either working for government or collecting welfare. The Bernie Sanders Socialists.
Fauci is a FRAUD. Nowhere in the same zip code as a “god”.
That man belongs in JAIL.
That crazy old man is more like the devil.
Never said that he isn’t evil. He is.
The Lockdowns will end AFTER the DemonicRats pass the COVID relief bill. Once they have $1.9T to enrich themselves, family, friends, etc.... Then everything will reopen so they can spend their ill gotten gains. Rest assured.
