'It was the best decision I ever made': Dr. Fauci appears to claim he gave the go-ahead for COVID vaccine and gives no credit to Trump's Operation Warp Speed for development

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, has appeared to claim credit for the decision to quickly develop vaccines against COVID-19, in remarks that are sure to anger Donald Trump.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the comment in an interview with CNN for a special on Sunday, diving into the details of America's pandemic response.

'When I saw what happened in New York City, almost over-running of our healthcare systems, and that's when it became very clear that the decision we made on January 10 to go all out and develop a vaccine, may have been the best decision that I've ever made with regard to intervention as the director of the institute,' Fauci said.

Trump, who has frequently expressed frustration with Fauci publicly, has repeatedly claimed credit for his administration's Operation Warp Speed, which spurred pharmaceutical giants to deliver a vaccine to the public in record time.

'I hope everyone remembers when they're getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn't President, you wouldn't be getting that beautiful 'shot' for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn't be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!' Trump said in a formal statement earlier this month.

Indeed, Trump has often accused Fauci of naysaying, pointing to statements Fauci made early in the pandemic that vaccines typically take years to develop.

The CNN special featured interviews with six medical doctors who played key roles in America's pandemic response, including Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Robert Kadlec, Dr. Robert Redfield, Dr. Stephen Hahn and Dr. Brett Giroir.

Look at this dirty rotten scoundrel, Fauci! Claiming credit for the vaccine when didn't believe it could be done and did everything he could to discredit Trump on the vaccines and only wanted to do masks and social distancing.

I hope he keeps claiming the credit if and when the vaxxes produce increasing numbers of southbound events.

Fauci has a bigger ego than Napoleon Bonaparte probably did,
and I mean the way Nappy was BEFORE he was exiled to Elba.

It is President Trump who greased the skids allowing the vaccine production to circumvent all the restriction government had placed over the years. It is President Trump who provided the dollars to make it happen, and happen in a hurry.

Fauci was an obstacle to everything good that Donald trump was doing.

This lying little pipsqueak quack can’t keep his mouth shut for even one day and the media worships every word.

Actually, he made the decision on behalf of his department was what he said.

I am actually watching the show right now. I find it interesting and Fauci made one comment that I completely agree with. We as a society are fighting among ourselves instead of against the virus. And that has been a big problem.

We will soon find out this fall with flu vaccines. I expect there will be a lot of adverse reactions if Dr Tenpenny is correct. If that happens Dr Fauci will blame President Trump.

He singularly caused that. This was made political by may last year and his endorsements of large BLM events while ‘not allowing’ any others was the end of it. This has been nothing but political by the left including Fauci.

Him holding 3 mRNA processing patents used by all the mRNA vaccines must make him feel all warm and fuzzy.

Gee Tony, if you only knew how much decent people in this country hate people like you, you’d go away and shut your stupid mouth.

Was reading the comments at the article. Pretty much every comment is roasting Fauci as a fraud, liar, weasel, etc. The media keeps promoting him but the public isn’t buying it. His time in the spotlight is over.

No. I don’t think so. It has been by all of us.

Good.

I’m glad this weasel has said this, on record.

No backtracking, or blaming Trump, when/if things suddenly go South....with these experimental, unproven agents.

Don’t get too excited about the comments there. The Daily Mail is a conservative newspaper.
