Fauci: 'Worst time' for a government shutdown is in middle of pandemic
The Hill ^ | 09/23/2021 | Jordan Williams

Anthony Fauci says the “the worst time” for a government shutdown is in the middle of a pandemic, a warning that comes as Congress is barreling toward a financial impasse that could close down the government.

“I think it’s so obvious to anybody who’s looking at the situation,” the nation's leading infectious disease expert said in an interview with The Washington Post’s The Early 202. “The worst time in the world we want to shut down the government is in the middle of a pandemic where we have 140,000 people a day getting infected and 2,000 people a day dying. That’s the time when you want the government working full blast to address this."

Fauci said that a shutdown would have a “profound effect,” adding it “should be avoided, if at all possible.

It's easily avoidable. Just pass a debt ceiling increase without all the other crap piled on top.

If the Democrats who are holding the country hostage, not Republicans.

If anyone wondered if this guy is a Democrat...question answered.

Go away Fauci. No one wants to hear from you. You have passed your expiration date.

Any time is the best time to shutdown our runaway government. The sooner the better.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people...” ~~RR

Just a few more weeks of 2 weeks to flatten the curve..

First they release the virus (at this point Fauxchis hands are dirty in that) that kills and injures
then they kill and injure with the vax
then they use their media and government agencies to ban drugs that are safe and proven to cure their virus
then, they force 15-20% of the medical profession to quit(or be fired) or take the jab
then, the flood the country with people unable to care for themselves and overwhelm the system
then they say their fix (socialized medicine) is the only way to fix it and they are the only ones capable.

Gotta give the left credit where it is due, they know how to cement their power and get what they want. Hell they even have some freepers singing their tune on some of the above.

Worst thing to do is to fund Chinese bioweapons and CAUSE a pandemic.

O, how glorious that there is no subject on Earth on which Fauci cannot claim dominion and expertise over it in the name of the disease HE CREATED.
