White House medical advisor and epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci shared his concerns about South Dakota's upcoming Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on Sunday's "Meet the Press," subtly rebuking attendees as host Chuck Todd appeared to suggest it could be another coronavirus "super spreader" event.

"I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.
While Fauci said it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," he suggested that rally goers think of the greater good that could come from staying home.
"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, urged.
"You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on," Fauci continued. "I mean, something bad is going on."
Social media users were none too happy with Fauci's advice.
"Yeah, no," tweeted RedState's Becca Lower. "We should not have unelected bureaucrats telling us what our rights are, period!"
Several other critics noted that while the media seemed preoccupied with Sturgis, they have largely ignored Chicago's Lollapalooza festival and President Obama's birthday celebration over the weekend, where he was seen dancing maskless in a crowded tent. The images surfaced after his office claimed that the party would be "scaled back" for close friends and family following backlash last week.

Sturgis gathering is mostly conservatives so it is to be derided.
Obammy’s birthday had hundreds in attendance with 3 conservatives so it is OK?
Fauchi you sir are a punk
Jinx! My thoughts too!
😀😀😆😁
He’s a typical mindless but power-hungry bureaucrat: “Don’t do what YOU want to do, do WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO.
Sums it up.
This morning Fauci said once the FDA approves the Pfizer vac in two weeks corporations need to mandate it or fire workers. This is our public policy now, Fauci, unelected, crippling a multi trillion dollar economy.
Yet Obama’s super spreader event was fine. I guess the Covid only attacks conservatives.
The second most dangerous place in the world is between Fauci and a TV camera.
Of course, the most dangerous place is between Schumer and a TV camera.

It has become patently obvious to me that Fauci forgot his OATH to “FIRST DO NO HARM!”
Sturgis motorcycle rally should go to DC and tell Fauci what they are concerned about.
That would be fun to see.
I recommend that he go to Kabul, and tell the Taliban that the Gathering of the Faithful in Mecca during Ramaden shouldn't go on.
