Dr. Anthony Fauci wasn’t a grade-A annoyance on COVID over the weekend. He took a position on something. Let’s hope he doesn’t flip-flop like he’s done throughout this crisis. Granted, it’s something that we already knew about the COVID vaccines, but better late than never. He gets zero credit since the man has been a serial disaster regarding offering advice during the pandemic. From masks to keeping people scared of infection even after vaccination, Fauci has been there. He’s been so bad that some liberals, like Nate Silver, have been calling him out, accusing the COVID czar of “gaslighting” us on the vaccine.
Over the weekend, Fauci finally said what we’ve known about the vaccine. That they’re super effective to the point that it’s a “dead end” for the virus. Also, even the very rare cases of infection post-vaccination, which are all asymptomatic, these people still don’t need to wear a mask since their virus load is immensely low and do not risk spreading the disease (via The Hill):
Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, said during a discussion on Sunday about the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) decision to drop mask recommendations for fully vaccinated individuals that vaccinated people become "dead ends" for COVID-19.
Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," Fauci explained to host John Dickerson that fully vaccinated people can go without masks even if they have an asymptomatic case of COVID-19 because the level of virus is much lower in their nasopharynx, the top part of their throat that lies behind the nose, than it is in someone who is unvaccinated.
"So even though there are breakthrough infections with vaccinated people, almost always the people are asymptomatic and the level of virus is so low it makes it extremely unlikely — not impossible but very, very low likelihood — that they're going to transmit it," Fauci said.
Fauci added that vaccinated people essentially become "dead ends" for the virus to spread within their communities.
Great news, doc—but you also said that New York was the state that did it right. No. They didn’t do it right. Gov. Andrew Cuomo let the virus burn through nursing homes, thanks to his executive order forcing these facilities to admit COVID-positive patients. It killed thousands. It was so bad that Cuomo and his people intentionally undercounted the true death toll in these locations by 50 percent.
This attachment to the messaging strategy that’s a mixture of ‘scare the crap out of us’ and ‘you can’t handle the truth’ has led to disastrous results. For starters, institutionally there’s no reason to listen to these clowns again. They got political. They drummed up panic. And an entire generation should ignore everything and anything they say after this COVID fiasco is over. I was told that Florida and Texas would be COVID graveyards. That was wrong. Maybe this thing called herd immunity has taken effect. I’ll say it already has.
Top of his class at DEPOP university.
The real Dead End is Fauci and the CDC.
Dweeb Univ.
What does FauXi have to say about the long-term effects of the experimental vaccines?
Fauci was the lead man who said on Feb 29th 2020....don’t worry about this virus. We’re watching it.
Which is what I’ve said all along. If you are asymptomatic you have too low a viral load to be contagious. It has always been so in the history of viruses
Thanks to Rand Paul calling him out on this nonsense.
Yep, and regardless of whether you have been vaxxed.
So, sick people should stay home and quarantine until they are better.......Gee what a novel idea/s
True for the average "you". But then there's the case of the German meat plant which had temperature screening, symptom checks, masks, distancing, and hand washing. One guy came in and gave it to 80 people. It spread up to 8 meters. Eventually 1400 out of 5000 people got it.
The bottom line is most people are not super spreaders, symptomatic or not. But some people are. It remains to be seen what vaccinations will do in that group.
: ) Tony was just saved from his problems by switching to GEICO!
Great, so we don’t have to wear useless face diapers as long as we agree to let ourselves be injected with untested gene modification.
Fauci is not admitting anything as the title claims - he is offering to trade one authoritarian edict for another.
If we comply with these fake-science mandates, the Leftists will keep dreaming up with new things we need to comply with, until all our freedom is stripped away.
That’s their true agenda: all power and wealth shifts from individuals to “the collective”.
But it is the same age-old Marxist fiction: “The collective” doesn’t exist - the power shifts to the self-appointed leaders of the Progressive (Marxist) Left.
My advice to those who have not yet gotten the government shot: don’t do it. Wait it out. In a few weeks this long fake-science nightmare will finally be over.
The Left really screwed the pooch with their latest mixed message:
1) the vaccine works, but it doesn’t work, so keep wearing masks.
2) correction: it works, don’t wear a mask if you are fully vaccinated.
3) don’t ask anyone for their “vax papers” - it sounds too much like Nazis
The wheels are falling off of the covid restrictions as we speak - I think in a few weeks all mask-wearing requirements will be dropped - and you’ll be seeing signs like:
“Mask-wearers are welcome here - please don’t make fun of them”.
I find the asymptomatic designation to be unhelpful. When analysis was done last spring of so-called asymptomatic spread it was determined that those who thought themselves to be symptom free did in fact have symptoms some even having ground glass opacities on their X-Ray. Now they call it presymptomatic transmission.
“Fauci was the lead man who said on Feb 29th 2020....don’t worry about this virus.”
That’s right. And days later he urged governors and the federal government to shut everything down just like China.
All roads through Wuhan and the ChiCom Virus lead back to Dr. Fallact, the Frankenstein monster of “gain of function” bioweapons.
He did stay at a Holiday Inn.
Everyone got it wrong....except President Trump.

Great post and spot on
We cannot ever trust our government or the medical establishment in a crisis.
Let’s see. It’ll be recanted today and once again the systemic racis’ thing will pop up?
President Trump had enemies all around him; Dr. Fallacy being the most dangerous.
