Dr Anthony Fauci said data, evidence frequently changed as pandemic raged
Dr. Anthony Fauci struck a defensive tone during a recent interview in which he reflected on his and the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, admitting that mistakes were made despite his best efforts.
"Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did," Fauci said when asked about the consequences of "heavy-handed" public health policies in a New York Times interview published Tuesday. "I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the CDC’s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that. But I never criticized the people who had to make the decisions one way or the other."
The response was just one of several in which Fauci defended his guidance during the pandemic, pushing back against critics who have accused him of being wrong about everything, from masks to how effective vaccines would be.

Don’t insult the noble weasel by comparing it to Fauci.
Disingenuous puke.
Thanks for attempting to remind the The TDSNeverTrumper trolls, of the facts....they all know this, of course.
And commercial general liability insurance underwriters...."out of an abundance of 'caution' FEAR OF LIABILITY."
Good point.
I’m not giving FoxGnus a click, but I’m sorry, that arrogant QUACK should be in prison.
You know that forced lockdown situation we put ya’ll in to flatten’ the curve?
It didn’t really happen that way.
Let me show you.
Those vaccine mandates and all the other liberty depriven shit that we pulled?
Well you got it wrong,here let me show you.
The record will reflect their lies.
The media will make it so.
They will write their own history.
J6 and all.
You will live the lies and like it!
Hey Saint Fauci - College Presidents were following your advice when they shut down every school in the US.
Criminals are everywhere in government...at all levels.
I remember the Sunday morning in mid-March 2020 just as things were getting really crazy, and I was with a friend in what was normally a very busy restaurant for brunch. It was only about 3/4 full.
We could see the bar’s TV from our table and I saw a creepy little garden gnome come on one of the talking head shows and say that he strongly recommended shutting everything down in the U.S. for two weeks to defeat this coronavirus everyone was talking about. My friend and I thought he was crazy. We shook our heads, saying “Can you imagine???”
We never thought they’d really *do* it.
But the very next day, there were stupid California and New York, leading the way.
California at that time (mid March 2020) was actually threatening that they would prevent people from leaving the state!
My wife managed purchasing at our local school district and they shut everything down on March 16. We had bought a summer home in North Idaho a couple years before that and I finished a lot of improvement and remedial work just in time for the California shutdown. So my wife grabbed our puppy, hopped in the car, and fled California for Idaho on the morning of March 17. She escaped the proposed total lockdown of CA and got to Idaho before the insanity reached peak levels.
I stayed in CA for a couple of months and joined her in Idaho after that. What a contrast in how two states dealt with it. Things were pretty much normal in Idaho but total insanity in CA. In the end, you cannot tell the difference in results in both states in terms of infections, hospitalization, ICUs, and deaths. That you had two extreme statewide experiments going on with the same outcome told me all I needed to know.
Looking back, weren't Trump & Pence hearing alternative (non-Fauci) voices? There were reputable professionals who were pro-therapeutics, anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine! Trump & Pence chose to go all-in with Fauci and his ilk, which was a very bad and deadly decision.
Wallace-Wells: Even now, when we talk about pandemic response, we focus on things like school closures and masks, but it seems to me that Covid mortality has been shaped much more by the country's vaccination levels. There have been three times as many American deaths since Election Day 2020 as before. And we've done much worse, compared with our peers, since vaccination began than we had before.
At the beginning of 2021, the death toll in the United States was below not just that of Peru but also those of Italy, Mexico, Czechia and the United Kingdom, among many others (and just above France and Sweden).
Fauci: I mean, only 68 percent of the country is vaccinated. If you rank us among both developed and developing countries, we do really poorly. We're not even in the top 10. We're way down there .3 And then: Why do you have red states that are unvaccinated and blue states that are vaccinated? Why do you have death rates among Republicans that are higher than death rates among Democrats and independents ?4 It should never ever be that way when you're dealing with a public-health crisis the likes of which we haven't seen in over a hundred years.

Liar. Every entity that shut down "out of an abundance of caution" did so to be in compliance with "CDC guidelines". Fauci and his entire chain of command, up and down, bear full responsibility for the deliberate economic destruction they orchestrated.
There were reputable professionals who were pro-therapeutics, anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine!
Trump was one of the first to push what these professionals were saying!
The media ... and Comrade FRAUDci put a quick stop to that talk.
But, you know that.
I know a little worm that I’d like to “shut down”.
Anthem For Justice!

Don’t Let Them Get Away With It! A powerful video montage chronicling the last 3 yrs of tyrannical COVID measures & vaccine mandates. Adapted from the poem by Margaret Anna Alice, read by UK-based medical doctor Dr Tess Lawrie.
He’s always got to sound superior. And he’s a smartass.
He needs rope therapy for developing bioweapons, for doing it in conjunction with the Communist Chinese, and for treason.
Then separate charges for killing a million Americans for doing the first things.
It’s past time someone sends him there.
