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.

“I recommend that Fauci go to Sturgis and tell them in person.”
He’d be duct taped to a tree. And I’d pay to see it.
To: conservative98
biden, fauxi, and the cdc recommending masks and experimental shots for our citizens to stop the spread of a virus while biden opens the border, invites, welcomes, and spreads thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic” reeks of hypocrisy and proves these people don’t care about our health and safety...

The politics of COVID-19 fear mongering was on display today as NBC’s Chuck Todd grabbed the pearls of Anthony Fauci in a display of simultaneous fainting over the Sturgis rally in South Dakota….. While never mentioning the massive Lollapalooza event last weekend in Chicago’s Grant Park (pictured below).
In a remarkable development, apparently, like the COVID-19 virus itself, the Delta Variant has the ability to differentiate between Red States and Blue States, and only targets the gatherings of people who assemble against the political interests of NBC and the healthcare industry.
[Prompted to 06:20 of Interview]:
Those who are driving this fear-mongering narrative could really help themselves if they would avoid being so openly hypocritical. Then again, in order to continue advancing a rabid and illogical fallacy they have to pretend not to know things…. Such is the essence of leftism.
Barack Obama assembles 700 unmasked friends at a party in Martha’s vineyard and that’s okay. 100,000+ cram into Grant Park for Lollapalooza, and that too is okay…. but show up on a motorcycle in South Dakota and the next super-spreader event is triggered.
Grant Park, Chicago (IL), last weekend:

I recommend that Fauci go to Sturgis and tell them in person.And for good measure, bring Biden to drive the point home.

Didn’t Fauci tell Jim Jordan that he doesn’t comment on things in the news, when Jordan asked him about the rioters?
To: conservative98
Does he have concerns for those who attended BO’s birthday bash or was he also in attendance?

Yes, there is much going on.
1. You're flip-flopping since Covid arrived.
2. Your participation in "gain of function" research.
3. You ignoring many many reports of HCQ and Ivermectim being a prophylactic and early treatment protocol.
4. Your unwillingness to recognize that mRNA is experimental.
5. Your unwillingness to recognize reports and studies that have shown vaccinated people can still get Covid, and is now spreading.
6. Your hysterics about the need for continuing boosters vacs.
7. Your need for camera face time, you putz.

Italian-Americans call Fauci “lo stronzo.” Translating it will get me in trouble at FR so if you don’t speak Italian, look it up on Duckduckgo.
