WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday that had he known a year ago what the death toll from Covid-19 would be, "it would have shocked me completely," and blamed the politicization of safety measures and "mixed messages" out of Washington for the high number of fatalities.

In an interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show on the one-year anniversary of the coronavirus outbreak being declared a global pandemic, host Savannah Guthrie noted that Fauci said exactly one year ago that 27 people in the U.S. had died from Covid-19 and asked what he would have thought then of today's death toll of more than 531,000.

Naturally nobody asks Fauci to comment on Cuomo.

Don’t worry, Tony. Most of them were not really Rona deaths.

Hey, we’re not done yet. Once it’s totally eradicated then we can get a real head count. Maybe andy comb-OH will be available to help with that. So, just curious, out of the supposed 531,000 what’s the number that is actually DUE to CV-19 and how many are listed as such for the money? For a buddy?

Ditto...Fauci, “Shut down the country Mr. President or we’ll have 2 million deaths”...then Trump having quoted Fauci would always say, “Imagine that.”

What a POS liar Dr. Fallacy is. He predicted deaths in the millions and blocked early on the information about the ChiCom Virus.

Then he blocked HCQ as an early treatment despite its early promise and so too with Ivermectin.

He’s a political scumbag and has to answer for his funding of the Wuhan Level IV Lab which developed and distributed the ChiCom Virus with its poor safety measures and untrained staff.

Dr. Fallacy should be arrested, tried and executed for his support of KillerCuomo who he proclaimed the best standard.

What a disgrace!

The report, which warned that an uncontrolled spread of the disease could cause as many as 510,000 deaths in Britain, triggered a sudden shift in the government’s comparatively relaxed response to the virus. American officials said the report, which projected up to 2.2 million deaths in the United States from such a spread, also influenced the White House to strengthen its measures to isolate members of the public.

A month later that 2.2 million estimate was still being used (without revealing the source) by President Trump and Doctors Fauci and Birx to imply that up to two million lives had been saved by state lockdowns and business closings and/or by federal travel bans.

Say what, Fauci?

Go to Chinatown, no problems, Oh wait, Nance. Wasn’t Fauci the medical lead in all this? Is he trying to blame Trump?

Tony is the one that told us, a year ago, that we don’t need to wear masks.

The hubris of this guy is unbelievable.

He had ONE job.

We are now learning that he funded the research that created the same virus in an unsafe lab in Wuhan.

We know he dismissed it because his “colleagues” in China and the WHO told him there was nothing to worry about.

He was against the travel ban by Trump much to the glee of the left before he admitted it was a good move.

He was against masks, dismissing their efficiency, before he was for masks. Now he is for two masks.

He told us we needed to lock down to allow hospitals to gear up for lots of patients. A couple of weeks turned into many months and its still going in some places.

He told us kids had little risks from the virus, but he approved of total lockdown to include schools and kids.

The list goes on and on and there are many more eggs that he laid as the “Scold in Chief”.

So let’s summarize..... he funded it, his “colleagues” unleashed it, he dismissed it when it counted, and he became the Lockdown Czar and a media celebrity as the ultimate foil to Trump. He told us to “follow the science” and just admitted that when the science was not clear (i.e. - it did not fit the agenda) he would go with his “gut”.

This man is the highest paid federal employee in the country and it now appears he was complicit in the research that created this virus in a lab he accepted as “safe” because the CCP and corrupt WHO were his “colleagues.” Peter Navarro was the one who pulled the fire alarm..... not the guy we paid for decades to do so.

Saint Fauci has been a failure. I can’t sugarcoat it. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when this first began, but he has been all over the map with this thing from the beginning and was indirectly complicit in funding what has costs our nation dearly. His muddled message and “one size fits all” plan cost us many lives, an election, and many trillions of dollars in wealth and productivity.

And who is pitching those mixed messages about masks?

Ooo, a swing and a miss by Dr. Fauci.
