Dr. Anthony Fauci says that officials “feel bad” about slapping a travel ban on seven African countries, now that the omicron variant has been confirmed in several other countries.
Fauci explained that, at the time the travel ban was imposed, not much was known about the omicron variant and the administration felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
Some nations affected by the travel ban were upset, with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling it “travel apartheid.”
But Fauci now says that with “more information,” the travel ban will be lifted in a “reasonable period of time.”
“That ban was done at a time when we were really in the dark – we had no idea about what was going on, except that there had been an explosion of cases of omicron in South Africa,” Fauci said on “State of the Union.” “So when the ban was put on, it was to give us time to figure out what was going on.”
“Now that we have more and more information about cases in our own country and worldwide, we’re looking at that very carefully on a daily basis,” Fauci continued. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to lift that ban in a quite reasonable period of time.”
Fauci added that officials felt “very badly” about the “hardship” the travel ban may have created for the southern African countries.

Benedict Biden now REGRETS his racist Negro Travel Ban?
Who listens to this moron?
So much for being MR Science. What a fraud. He Mr Media Attention Whore.
These people are laughable. They don’t even have the backbone to stand by their own decisions.
Wow. They feel bad. Okay.
So...an employee at least 2-3 levels down in the Administration is speaking for this installed President?
Yuh see, therein lies the difference between the Trump Administration and the Harris/Biden Administration:
When the H/B Administration does something racist, they "feel badly" about it, and that takes away all the "badness" / absolves them of all guilt.
Regards,
So they finally did something that may have been potentially sensible, so they feel bad about it.
Yes, I heard on the radio this morning that they are likely to rescind the travel ban. I guess it is too racist or hypocritical or something. Has NOTHING TO DO with Covid or science, etc.
Maybe they should stop the “feel” crap and start looking at FACTS!

“Follow the feelings”
Fauci will say “And that’s the reason why I say people who then criticize me about that are actually criticizing feelings,”
“[T]he people who are giving the ad hominems are saying, ‘Ah, Fauci misled us. First he said no masks, then he said masks.’ Well, let me give you a flash. That’s the way feelings works. You work with the data you have at the time,” Fauci didn’t say,, but we all know he really meant
“Why doesn’t he tell us what science – what data backs up the Biden administration’s stupid mask mandate for airports and airplanes? I mean, are you more likely to get the coronavirus at an airport than you are at a shopping mall or an airplane with its massive filtration systems?” Cotton (R-Ark.) said on the show.
“He’s admitted that he’s changed his advice based on what would be herd immunity levels. Not based on what he thinks he sees in the data but what he thinks the American people are ready to hear. Why doesn’t he just tell us what the facts are?” he said.
This would seem to undermine the “emergency” aspect of the vaccine mandate...
The goal is to punish white middle class Americans. They have no idea how a travel ban on Africa got in there. Obviously, that’s not helping them achieve their goal, so it should be rescinded.
There is no travel ban policy all they have to do is enter from Mexico it’s wide open.
