Fauci: ‘No Magic Number’ of Cases for Pandemic to End, ‘Don’t Know’ Number for Decision Metrics ‘Yet’
Breibart ^ | Feb 17 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 02/18/2022 5:11:27 AM PST by RandFan

During an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to a question on what the threshold of cases that would cause him to determine the coronavirus pandemic has passed is by saying that “there’s no magic number” and that metrics for making decisions will look more at the rates of severe disease and hospitalizations over infection rates, but “We don’t know what that number is yet.”

Host Linsey Davis asked, “[O]ur country, right now, at least, is still seeing about 147,000 new cases of COVID per day. But what would that threshold be in the future for you to say, okay, the pandemic has passed?”

Fauci responded, “You know, there’s no magic number. But you want is to make sure the trajectory keeps going down and down and down. And I think the important issue, and that relates to one of the questions you asked before about the CDC considering giving more precise metrics for decision-making, that concentrating more on what the rate of severe disease and hospitalization is will determine that. We don’t know what that number is yet. But that will be much more of a determinant than the rate of infection.”

Because it’s not about the health or welfare of people.

It never has been for that bloodthirsty savage.

He’s only ever been about killing and torturing people and animals.

Dr. Bryan Ardis testifies at Dr. Fuellmich’s Grand Jury trial - I believe it has been one of the best testimonies in all of the 3 days of testimony so far. The next hearing will be held on Saturday, Feb. 19th. at grand-jury.net. You will get the time and link for the hearing on that site. You can also view past days. These hearings last all day. 1 hr.

He wants it to never end. He is a media whore and loves the sound of his own voice.

Pretty much

I hope he stays in the job for another year when Rand Paul is chairman of the Health committee

Something tells me he’s going to retire though.

Are you thinking that the Republicans will be in control and give Rand such a position?

I think the Republican RINOS have found a new game - how to lose enough seats so that your’e never responsible. If Trump Republican’s win in too many primaries, expect the RINOs to keep control with the Dems, like they did in Georgia.

He already knows we’re beyond the “magic number”. He’s smart enough not to admit it because of all the hell that would break loose.

At least to the election. That’s the plan and we all know it.

If you are TWO FREAKING YEARS into a pandemic and a top “public health official” can’t even tell you what kind of metrics will be used to make decisions moving forward, then the guy is a loser, a liar, or both — and ought to go jump off a bridge somewhere.

I had a similar thought--this is the ONE thing that he could control...the definition of what acceptable metrics would be to end the panic.

I'm no world traveler, but my wife and I do like to get OUS on occasion. I think after it might end here, we could be dealing with lockdowns, mandates, and vax proofs for years to come in many countries. Travel OUS will be a nightmare and fully unpredictable.

I have said it many times, it’s not going to stop. If you have by some estimates now one million dead, that ought to tell you something is terribly, demonically wrong. It’s much more than just money. It seems so surreal. so unbelievable but it’s happening before our very eyes. It’s clear, all the world’s soulless leaders have declared war on humanity, else they would have stop this genecide by now. They are not going to do anything to stop it. Most have not figured it out yet. There are so many innocent sheep yet waiting in the slaughter pen being fed lie after lie. It makes my heart cry out whenever I dwell on the evil of this reality.

Rand will get his chairmanship absent any shenanigans from his home state colleague.

I don’t rule it out but I dont think McConnell will screw him
