Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that he was horrified to hear the crowd at a conservative gathering this weekend cheering anti-vaccination comments.
"It's horrifying. I mean, they are cheering about someone saying that it's a good thing for people not to try and save their lives," Fauci told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union," referring to the audience's reaction to remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas.
Fauci also said that it was “almost frightening” for people to say that they don’t want health officials to save their lives.
"I mean, if you just unpack that for a second, Jake, it's almost frightening to say, 'Hey, guess what, we don't want you to do something to save your life,'" Fauci said.
"Yay. Everybody starts screaming and clapping. I just don't get that," he added. "I don't think that anybody who is thinking clearly can get that. What is that all about? I don't understand that, Jake."
Fauci was responding to a clip of conservative author Alex Berenson, who spoke at CPAC on Saturday.
"The government was hoping that they could sort of sucker 90 percent of the population into getting vaccinated," Berenson told the crowd.
"And it isn't happening," he added to applause.
Tapper also asked Fauci about former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius wanting schools and businesses to mandate COVID-19 vaccines.
Fauci said that he’s in favor of that idea, adding that he anticipates more demand for the vaccines once they are formally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“So these vaccines are as good as officially approved with all the i's dotted and the t's crossed. It hasn't been done yet because the FDA has to do certain things, but it's as good as done,” Fauci said. “So people should really understand that. But they are waiting now until you get an official approval before. And I think when you do see the official approval, Jake, you are going to see a lot more mandates.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in guidance on Friday encouraged schools nationwide to open for in-person learning this fall
Fauci did an incredibly bad job making the case for the vaccine. He’d say one thing on Monday, and then something just the opposite on Tuesday. He’d tell everyone to wear a mask, then he’d go to a baseball game and not wear a mask.
No wonder so many people are so skeptical.
"Yay. Everybody starts screaming and clapping. I just don't get that," he added. "I don't think that anybody who is thinking clearly can get that. What is that all about? I don't understand that, Jake."
Yes, we know you don't understand, Chinaman. We are Americans.
He doesn’t need to shut up.
Doesn’t need to go away.
He needs to hang for what he’s done.
Isn’t the survival rate of covid something like 99.998% or some such?Not when you factor in underling conditions like automobile accidents, terminal cancer, sudden heart attacks, strokes, falling off a roof etc.
“....adding that he anticipates more demand for the vaccines once they are formally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
Riddle me this, Batman.
If the FDA approves the vaccine, then it is no longer experimental?
If it’s no longer experimental, then the drug companies are liable?
If the drug companies are liable, then how quickly will the drug companies pull the vaccines because of all the adverse reactions?
Fauci should be up on mass murder charges for funding the virus — or, at least, charge him with millions of counts of manslaughter.
And what is the probability that the FDA would actually perform their due diligence honestly and look at the data in an unbiased manner? I think at best, it may be a positive number, but far below a 1% probability. The FDA is a politicized government body, and true evaluation of data is irrelevant as far as they are concerned.
Non-existent.
He has no idea what horrifying is.
No idea. But if things go south, he is going to find out.
I, like many others am not “anti-vaxx”. I am vehemently opposed to FORCED vaxx!
Hush your mouth. All Dr. Fauci's lies are noble lies because he said so.
Dr. Fauci is science or god anyway.
Something that would save your life?!? He’s the horrifying monster who created the virus.
You remark gave the inspiration to come up with MIDGET MENGELE. It has a nice alliterative sound, don't you think?
You forgot mafia hits
It should be frightening to FauxChi. There's a larger use case that extends to all officials. I don't trust sny of them.
paternalism = we will force you to do X for your own good
Works for me, FRiend. This little nazi must be stopped.
Fauci sure does love CNN, doesn’t he ?
Wonder why ?
