In a series of interviews on Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci reemerged from wherever he's been laying low to again threaten that Americans must be "flexible" and ready to return to mask mandates as the so-called "Stealth Omicron" sub-variant of COVID spreads.
"We have to be careful," says the man who has been anything but when it comes to federal government edicts levied on Americans in the name of controlling COVID in an interview with the San Diego ABC affiliate. "If we do see a surge as a result of that, that we're flexible enough to reinstitute the kind of interventions that could be necessary to stop an additional surge."
Fauci also declared that the pandemic's toll on Americans has been "devastating," which could be true if he meant the totality of the Democrat lockdowns that forced mom and pop shops out of business, stay at home orders that contributed to a mental health and drug use crisis, and school closures that studies have only just started to suggest caused the rising generation's development to suffer.
The recently attention-starved face of America's pandemic response issued similar veiled threats on PBS News Hour, telling Americans to prepare "to pivot back" to "a little bit more of the masking."
Just "a little bit more," eh? Like the little bit more freedom the Biden administration said Americans would have after getting vaccinated that quickly turned into a return to masking for all? At least he admitted that we'll be going back(wards) if masking requirements are reimplemented again.
Fauci also returned to CNN to make a similar case about the need for Americans to be "flexible" despite the unbending force with which Democrats have enforced their one-size-fits-all "solutions" to the pandemic:
The worst part of Fauci being back on the air? Blue states and liberal cities would be happy to roll the clock back and slap mandatory masking guidance back on their citizens if Fauci told them to do so. We've already seen unhinged libs do whiplash-inducing reversals and tell people to "ignore the guidance" after mask mandates were lifted in jurisdictions across the country. Fauci's latest comments are a lifeline to their COVID-frenzied existence.
As Vespa covered this week, Fauci has been MIA for quite some time now, something of a casualty of the Biden administration and other Democrats seeking to put COVID behind them after Democrat pollsters warned them dragging out the pandemic could further sink their party's chances in the midterms.
Apparently, in spite of Democrat attempts to declare victory over COVID and put the pandemic in the rear-view mirror — even though Republican governors already did so months ago — Fauci isn't ready to fade back into obscurity yet. He still has warnings left to give and threats of a return to mask mandates to issue — and the COVID-obsessed are more than ready to indulge him.
Hell no, Fauci. On the contrary, we should start punishing the wearing of masks in public places.
Fazi has long ago discredited himself completely as an “expert” to turn to for medical advice. Masking to control a virus is nothing but a vile lie ... and this creature damn well knows it is.
Oh Geez, not this (fill in the blank) again.
Aren’t we over this?
Didn’t we graduate from all this? For example, the Super Bowl did not evolve into a super spreader event, as some feared. More and more people are maskless in public nowadays. Mask requirements have fallen away in most places.
And what of the vaccines? At this point, the vast majority who want the vaccine have gotten it. Weren’t vaccines supposed to enable us to get back to normal life? If so, why in the heck are they talking about more restrictions?
and isn’t it a fact that there will always be new variants? Isn’t it a fact that we have to live with this damn virus, which implies that we can’t just be locked down everytime some new variant springs up? Aren’t these vaccines supposed to be effective against the variants?
Is Fauci wanting to stir things up again? What’s really going on here?
Two weeks to flatten the curve somehow morphed into two years and counting. What the heck caused that?
Right after the convoy hit Washington??? Is this for real??? These guys are worse than any despot I’ve ever read about.
There is a distinct subset of American society—mostly elderly and fearful—who believe this little troll and he lives rent-free in their heads. He’s basically terrorizing this group. And he apparently enjoys it.
That would be a hard NO, you killer dwarf.
He’s disgusting.
Only a mere handful of people have been “masking” where I live for well over a year.
We’re not going to strap pieces of dirty laundry (which is what the nasty things become after about 20 minutes) to our faces around here, Fauci. Bugger off.
No, really. Go away, you rotten little crook.
No.
This runt quack can get ready to kiss my lily white arse.
He’d look good by my driveway as a little gnome lawn ornament.
One would hope that enough people are enjoying their new found “freedom” from stupidity and tell the puppet masters to # sand. Sadly, a lot of folks have indicated how compliant they can be to please their masters. And none of these assclowns will ever be held to account for the damage they’ve caused.
He’s basically terrorizing this group. And he apparently enjoys it.
More like mostly soy-boys and Valley girls
Can't believe how many women 20 - 40 are clinging to their maskifiers.
We need WIDESPREAD NON-COMPLIANCE!!!!
Come on folks. We need new restrictions because of science. It will all be over after the mid-terms. We’re doing it for the children. /sarc
A lot more after the election.
This guy is a psychopath. He loves to slam us every chance he gets.
> Can’t believe how many women 20 - 40 are clinging to their maskifiers.
Islam must be right about how to treat a female...
You can go F yourself Fauci!
