Cruz accuses Fauci of playing politics with COVID-19 after recent comment about hospitalized children

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and top critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci, took to Twitter late Thursday to accuse the top disease doctor of editing his message when it comes to COVID-19 hospitalizations during the Biden administration.

Cruz retweeted an interview Fauci had on MSNBC where he spoke about the troubling numbers of children in the hospital with the virus. Fauci made clear that there is a distinction between the number of children hospitalized with COVID as opposed to "because of COVID."

"And what we mean by that: If a child goes into the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual, when, in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it’s over counting the number of children who are, quote, hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID," Fauci said.

Cruz posted, "Now Fauci says this? Is this because pandemic politics have changed for the Biden admin?"

Fauci’s comments came after a record surge of children in the U.S. being "hospitalized with COVID." During the week of Dec. 22-28, an average of 378 children 17 and under were admitted per day to hospitals with the coronavirus, a 66% increase from the week before. The Associated Press reported that children continue to represent a small number of cases due to COVID-19.

Cruz’s tweet comes at a time that the Biden administration faces new criticism about its handling of the coronavirus outbreak. Critics say Biden defeated former President Trump because he vowed to take control of the virus but he admitted this week that there is "no federal solution."

I'm sorry, but this Fauci is a slimy politician who has literally wrought nothing but havoc and pain to this country.

Rand Paul brought this up to Fauci to his face months ago, maybe a year ago before the election. And the brat Fauci responds with something like, YOU ARE WRONG, Senator! They ALL HAVE COVID! THEY ALL HAVE COVID!

It’s going to take awhile. This is going all the way to 2024. If Trump becomes President we’ll still be hearing about Covid the first two years.

They’ve been counting china flu deaths like this from the get go. Die of a heart attack and test positive for covid? Covid death. Died of a clear alternative cause but had covid at the time of death? Covid death:

Fauci needs to put on his knit cap and go back to being a garden gnome.

Just like the mess at the border. Biden and the rats are blaming it on Trump. Some real nasty people.

All fraudulent lies and deception. My son lives next to a practicing nurse of 24 years in Miami. She told me that it is all BS and that they continue to report everything as Covid when it is not. It is still all about the $$$ and the elections. Another friend of mine is a 32 year practicing nurse in Atlanta and she told me the exact same thing and also she said they refuse to report the bad reactions and deaths from the vaccine. She refuses to take the vaccine.

Suddenly that narrative doesn’t work for Fauci.

I’ve been saying for a long time that Fauxi’s mouth would get him into trouble. And here we are.

Fauxi: “”And what we mean by that...” Love to know who is included in “we.”

IMHO, we can safely ignore Fauxi. He’s just an overpaid bureaucrat that moves the goal posts every time he opens his mouth.
