'I know, but what do you want me to do?': Fauci's strikingly honest review of Trump's coronavirus response
thehour.com ^ | 3/23/20 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 03/24/2020 1:56:17 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

Dr. Anthony Fauci's interview with Science magazine began on an inauspicious note. Asked how he's doing right now, Fauci said he was "exhausted" but "good." "I mean, I'm not, to my knowledge, coronavirus-infected," he said, before adding with a laugh: "To my knowledge, I haven't been fired."

What followed were several exchanges that should help people take stock of President Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus. Repeatedly, Fauci tacitly and even openly admitted that comments made by the commander in chief are not true and are not in line with what the nation's leading infectious disease expert is advising.

The interviewer, Jon Cohen, asked whether Fauci would acknowledge that Trump says things he disagrees with, and Fauci seemed to grant the premise. Fauci maintained that, "I don't disagree on the substance" - but then added: "It is expressed in a way that I would not express it, because it could lead to some misunderstanding about what the facts are about a given subject."

The exchange highlights the mixed messages the country has been getting in recent days, in particular, about the promise of certain drugs to treat coronavirus. While Fauci has warned that evidence of the drugs' effectiveness is "anecdotal" and that there is no "magic drug" to treat coronavirus, Trump said Friday that he "disagreed" with Fauci, at least in part, and has repeatedly hailed a malaria drug in particular as a possible "game-changer."

Asked about the White House holding crowded events like a Rose Garden news conference in which Trump was shaking hands with people, Fauci admitted he has repeatedly advised against it. "I keep saying, is there any way we can get a virtual news conference. Thus far, no," Fauci said. "I'm trying my best. I cannot do the impossible."

Not only does Fauci have a persecution complex he may be leaning toward a Napolean one too.

This peevish guy is Eighty Years of Prickly.

From CTH:

"I knew there was something sketchy about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Within the WikiLeaks HRC email files there are letters from Fauci to Hillary Clinton through her aid/lawyer Cheryl Mills: “rarely does a speech bring me to tears”?… “please tell her I love her more than ever”?… “please tell her that we all love her”… “Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.”"

FAUCI GOES ANYWHERE SOMEONE WILL PRAISE HIM.

I SAY DUMP HIM.

Now’s not the time...but Trump will certainly look to others for guidance....and chop down Fauci’s pedestal.

Yes, but he cannot. Have you ever seen the sneaky little smirking faces he makes often as The President speaks.

Fauci's disrespect for DJT is palpable.

He should be gone.

Fausti would love to get fired.

Degenerate media would have its next star witness.

People are exhibiting panic behavior. Buying toilet paper, fishbowl cleaner, ceiling fans as vents, 9 patients to a vent. I hear wealthy people are trying to buy a “personal vent” (as if a vent without someone who knows how to use it is more than a boat anchor). Shameful behavior. I learned from my m other that the real strength of this country is not in “our elite” who are our country’s irresponsible Royalty for a great part but the masses of quiet people who refuse under any circumstances to renounce their own dignity.
“Just because a person is poor doesn’t mean they have no dignity” my mother would say.

This is the time we must face our challenge. This is our opportunity to rise to the occasion. We will comport ourselves in such a way that history will record THIS as “Our FInest Hour” if we just remember who we are. We aren’t the basketball players or wealthy politicians. We are the backbone of this country.

Fauci properly persists in using precise doctortalk. PotUS uses everyday ‘mercan. Different dialects of English.

I’m sure Fauci also speaks ‘mercan at home.

See the comment below re Fauci’s ties to Hillary and the rest of the deranged left.

I would trust a hungry used car salesman over this creeper.

________

"Right" about what?

Of course he is correct that Trump does not do well with words and explains things with a limited amount of skill at times.

However what REALLY bugs little Fauci is that he knows that VERY SOON TRUMP WILL BE DIRECTING INSTITUTIONS to USE THE MEDICINES (chloroquine, etc.) ALREADY AVAILABE, and little Fauci will then be on the outside looking in.

So thousands of people who have symptoms will be treated, will enjoy improved health, and things will settle down, and Fauci will just be an arrogant, annoyed left-over fossil.

Dr Permagrin.

Only bad comment I’ve seen is he says he has to tell POTUS things 4 times before it sinks in. Definitely should have kept his permagrin mouth shut there.

How about POTUS has 100 people telling him things all the time and can’t just take everything on it’s face first time.

“ VERY SOON TRUMP WILL BE DIRECTING INSTITUTIONS to USE THE MEDICINES ”

I didn’t know PotUS has a license to practice medicine.

wrong. President Trump was honest and truthful.
and he was accurate and predictive.

Little Fauci (behold, and deep into HRC’s rectum)
is the DNC “insurance policy” to murder Americans.
There was MUCH MORE THAN ANECDOTES.

Fauci lied. Americans died.
