White House medical advisor and epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci shared his concerns about South Dakota's upcoming Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on Sunday's "Meet the Press," subtly rebuking attendees as host Chuck Todd appeared to suggest it could be another coronavirus "super spreader" event.

"I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.
While Fauci said it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," he suggested that rally goers think of the greater good that could come from staying home.
"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, urged.
"You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on," Fauci continued. "I mean, something bad is going on."
Social media users were none too happy with Fauci's advice.
"Yeah, no," tweeted RedState's Becca Lower. "We should not have unelected bureaucrats telling us what our rights are, period!"
Several other critics noted that while the media seemed preoccupied with Sturgis, they have largely ignored Chicago's Lollapalooza festival and President Obama's birthday celebration over the weekend, where he was seen dancing maskless in a crowded tent. The images surfaced after his office claimed that the party would be "scaled back" for close friends and family following backlash last week.

Tony, you are neither God nor King, so just shut up about our Freedoms!
The bikers would tape him to a telephone pole upside down.
What about the hundreds-of-thousands/millions of COVID-infected criminal illegal aliens released into the USA since January, Fauci, you lowlife scumbag?
Go tell them in person you f’ing little commie worm.
Thank God Saint Fauci ws on every TV Channel this weekend - how could we live without his wisdom?
"Lollapalooza 2021: Day 3 of fest includes new mask requirements - In addition to the Lollapalooza vaccine requirement or COVID testing, masks are now mandated indoors on day 3."
You’ve been slingin’ the same manure for over a year and a half now, Mengele. You lost most of us at “fifteen days to flatten the curve.” Take your snake oil sales pitch somewhere else.
But Obama’s party is FINE.
Fauci you F*******.
Could there be any better proof that this damnfool lives in a bubble? He doesn’t have clue one what the Sturgis bikers are like.
Yeah, tell that to my FACE.
Wanted to go, but it’s a long ride alone for a senior citizen all the way from Boston.
That guy who flipped your $28 burger, the gal who poured you the $15 glass of wine, the guy washing dishes in the back before going to his AA meeting.
The treasurer at your security's union detail, and the doorman at the second-home apartment tower.
Your airline pilot, your Uber driver, your butcher at Harmon's, the guy who refills your water glass, your laundry guy where your wife sends the white underwear, the guy who works on your Mercedes SL, your landscaper, and 5 of your key staffers -- ALL VOTED FOR TRUMP. AND THEY CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE FOR TRUMP AGAIN IN 2024.
Schadenfreude...
Guess he and big media had no opinions on Obama’s huge maskless bday bash
Google Translate works well.
Doc Tony is mum about Biden’s illegal alien super spreader event at the Texas border. Maybe nobody has told him.
“Fauci is a scumbag.”
Oh come now, Fauci did say Grinder and Tinder were ok!
Don’t think Fraudski understands the biker mindset, that the the more “the man” tells them to do something, the more they do the opposite.
Coat him with honey first.
Someone should tell Fauci “0bama’s going to be there.”
Watch him shut up faster than a bear trap.
