White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci warned about the potential for the reinstatement of COVID-19 restrictions in the United States.
Americans, he told the BBC on Sunday, “need to be prepared for the possibility” of an uptick in COVID-19 cases, which may lead to further restrictions.
“I don’t want to use the word ‘lockdowns.’ That has a charged element to it. But, I believe that we must keep our eye on the pattern of what we’re seeing with infections,” he told the outlet.
Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths from the virus have dropped significantly in the United States since the winter’s COVID-19 surge.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that currently, the BA.2 Omicron subvariant that is spreading makes up for about 54.9 percent of cases. Meanwhile, data from the CDC revealed that just over 9,600 new cases were reported Sunday.
“Having said that, we need to be prepared for the possibility that we would have another variant that would come along,” Fauci said. “And then, if things change and we do get a variant that does give us an uptick in cases and hospitalization, we should be prepared and flexible enough to pivot toward going back–at least temporarily–to a more rigid type of restrictions, such as requiring masks indoor.”
But several days ago, Fauci told another news outlet that he does not expect another significant COVID-19 surge.
“I would not be surprised at all, if we do see somewhat of an uptick,” Fauci told the Washington Post. “I don’t really see, unless something changes dramatically, that there would be a major surge.”
In recent months, a number of Democrat-led states and cities have moved to rescind COVID-19-related rules, including vaccine passports and masking. However, masking is still mandatory inside airports and on airplanes.
Several airline CEOs recently called on President Joe Biden to drop the mask mandate for airports and planes, according to an open letter that was issued earlier in March. Nine flight attendants also recently filed a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services in a bid to block the mask mandate.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday moved to issue an emergency use authorization for a second booster of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines for individuals aged 50 and older. The CDC said it agreed with the FDA’s decision.
The “CDC expanded eligibility for an additional booster dose for certain individuals who may be at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensy said in a statement, claiming that “boosters are safe.”
99.74% survivable by CDC’s own numbers.
The punishment for crimes against humanity is death.
Maybe Dr. Fauci should take a plane trip to the Ukraine or Russia.
Try to find the ‘real’ origin of the virus.
Silly leprechaun - popping out of his hole.
Someone stomp 🦶 it.
these morons just wont give it up!
hey morons! the world is a dangerous place! none of us get out of here alive!
we will just have to live with this the same as we do with the flu and other things that kill 10’s of thousands every year. That’s life. The strong will survive the weak will be culled a tiny bit earlier than otherwise. It’s really just that simple.
Just in time for the next election?
I'd rather live on my feet, than die on my knees.

Night ya'all!
And the sheep that were “vaccinated” will die off sooner than that. Its round 2 for those that didnt fall for their ruse and meet the goals of their first attempt at population control. Dont worry the new vaccine will be “new and improved”, and mandatory, well except for a certain global elite.
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome Quack?
Why is this news?
Is there the slightest doubt that the “so-called” covid restrictions would be both permanent and exponentially increasing as our communist masters tighten the screws on us serfs...
They are salivating at the mouth over the endless possibilities after they have stolen the 2024 elections...
With millions of new voters pouring across the southern border, joining the 45-50 million already here, the future for communism in this country looks bright indeed...
Fauci = ESAD
He’s like the bobbing turd in the bowl that just can’t be flushed.
Well then ,
fauci needs to be prepared to kiss our ass.
Dr. Fauci should get ready to get stretched.
