What did Dr. Fauci have to say in 2009 about the deadly H1N1 pandemic?

It seems some viral infection pandemics are more equal than others. At least when it comes to burning a vibrant Trump economy to the ground.

In September 2009, after millions had become infected with the H1N1 influenza and thousands had died, some of whom were young people and children, a relaxed and unalarmed Dr. Anthony Fauci told an interviewer that people just need "to use good judgment."

"Parents should not send their kids to school if they're sick, if you're sick don't go to work ... avoid places where there are people who are sick and coughing, now that's a difficult thing to do,” he said. "...You can't isolate yourself from the rest of the world for the whole flu season." That’s quite a change from the esteemed expert’s views on the current virus from China sweeping the world.

If we are going to compare death rates of the H1N1 flu to the Wuhan virus then lets use apples to apples comparison.

How many CONFIRMED cases of the H1N1 and CONFIRMED deaths vs. CONFIRMED case of Wuhan and CONFIRMED deaths?

Fauci is a partisan hack, like much of the ensconced bureaucracy.
His love letters to Killery are the proof.

Based on Levin’s cerebral handling of his TV show and many other reasons, he is not going to grill Fauci.

There is plenty of time for this later, In defense of Levin if he does grill him he is no different than the douche bags at the press conference asking stupid questions and trying to get trump.

Fauci is a pioneer of the modern political-scientist, one who uses science to further a pre-ordained political agenda.

The key statistics will soon become available hospital beds, available respirators, and number of HCW infections. That should be compared to the number of infected, and the percentage of the infected that require hospitalization.

Once availability of treatment options becomes limited, you can expect the death rate to increase.

Right now, this information is not being made public

What is so hard to understand about this?

Even more telling, what does he have to say about his “love” for Hillary Clinton? This is the deep stater whose driving our demolition car economy?

I don’t know about that but he certainly does not seem to be encouraging employment of the so far VERY EFFECTIVE 6-day Hydroxychloroquine - Azithromycin combination drug treatment. He simply may be moving in overly cautious BUREAUCRATIC TIME and not more bold TRUMP TIME.

One email from 2013.

THAT is what these idiots are tossing around just to stir up s*it, like Trump has time to deal with some high school cancel culture drama some bored people online are engaging in.

“How many CONFIRMED cases of the H1N1 and CONFIRMED deaths vs. CONFIRMED case of Wuhan and CONFIRMED deaths?”

Too soon to tell. Plenty of hindsight for H1N1. This round of the Kung Flu still needs to play out.

Until then, in the interest of personal protection, I’ll give the “experts” the benefit of the doubt that Kung Flu is 10x more contagious than “regular” flu, keeping in mind that I’m in a very high risk segment of the population.
