Joe Biden's chief medical advisor on Sunday contradicted the vice president, who had claimed that no one saw the Omicron variant coming.
'We did. We definitely saw variants coming,' said Dr Anthony Fauci, after being read out Kamala Harris's quote.
On Friday she told The Los Angeles Times: 'We didn't see Delta coming. I think most scientists did not — upon whose advice and direction we have relied — didn't see Delta coming.
'We didn't see Omicron coming. And that's the nature of what this, this awful virus has been, which as it turns out, has mutations and variants.'
Fauci said that Harris was mistaken - but he accepted that Omicron's potency had not been forecast.
'What was not anticipated was the extent of the mutations and the amino acid substitutions in Omicron, that is really is unprecedented and came out of nowhere,' Fauci told CNN's Jake Tapper, on State of the Union.
'When you have a virus which has 50 mutations.
'To me that is really quite unprecedented so that is something you would not have anticipated.
'But we certainly were anticipating that there were going to be variants. Because when you have so much replication going on in the community, if you give a virus enough opportunity to replicate you know it's going to ultimately mutate.
'And sometimes those mutations become a new variant, and that's what happened with Delta, and certainly with Omicron.'
Fauci said the COVID-19 virus was 'very unpredictable'.

I hate to say it but conservatives need to come to grips that this all ends when people are removed from their homes and taken to camps; unless there is massive civil pushback which I don’t see. Coinciding eventually with taking away ownership of houses, and other assets Americans will be marched off to camps — it’s for the people - are you not for the people?
I totally disagree with your doom and if you actually think “ camps” and the like are due I suggest you get out and do something to stop it.
