When it comes to COVID Anthony Fauci has taken more positions than can be found in the Kama Sutra. A nice list can be found here. Now he has added one more. This time he's gone political. Most of us knew that he was a liberal wolf in a non-partisan doctor's garb and now we're validated. He's blaming Trump for vaccine hesitance. On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House, said former President Donald Trump had been "poisoning the well" against vaccines for a long time prior to his recent public support of the jab. Fauci,...

Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that airline pilots should be far more worried about the potential health consequences of contracting COVID-19 than any risk of possible side effects from vaccines. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, made the comments during Wednesday's press briefing by the White House COVID-19 Response Team. "We have examples of people—they may not necessarily be pilots, maybe there are some—who actually have gotten COVID and have had an unexplained but real impacting on their ability to function normally," Fauci said. When...

In a new documentary, Dr. Anthony Fauci reveals he has PTSD from the HIV/AIDS epidemic. [cut] At one moment in the documentary, Fauci cries when remembering an AIDS patient who lost his vision from an infection that destroyed his retina. The man was always upbeat, Fauci says, and would often comment on Fauci's smile. "One day, we walked in in the morning and I walked up to the desk and he said, 'Who's there?' And it was clear that he had gone completely blind," Fauci says. When the an interviewer asks why Fauci is so affected by the memory, he...

White House Chief Health Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has rejected the idea that face masks are a "personal choice" in the face of the increasingly severe delta variant of the coronavirus. The United States on Thursday recorded almost 80,000 new COVID-19 cases – well below the January peak of nearly 300,000 new daily cases, but a stark rise from a month ago when daily cases were under 10,000. While the number of those cases driven by the more transmissible delta variant is not clear, the CDC advised in early July that the variant was likely the dominant strain in the...

Olivia Rodrigo schooled Anthony Fauci on "man crush Mondays" in a new video aimed at pushing young people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The nation's leading infectious diseases expert and the "good 4 u" singer read tweets from fans in the pro-vaccination video released Friday by the White House. After Fauci reads aloud a tweet wishing him a "happy man crush Monday" and praising his "intelligence" and "compassion," he tells Rodrigo, "Well that's very nice to say that." When asked if he knows what the lovey-dovey term means, he responded with a laugh, "No idea." "Man crush Monday is just...

White House now working on an exit strategy for Dr. Fauci. His exposed emails now show he covered up from the beginning that the virus was man made in labs he helped fund. His book deal is ugly, Cuomo-ish, pandemic profiteering. Even liberal media burying his emails. — MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) June 2, 2021

Fauci, and the agency’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, have repeatedly stated that the update was based on science. "I am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask, before the CDC made the recommendation change, I didn’t want to look like I was giving mixed signals," Fauci said Tuesday on Good Morning America, as to why he continued to wear a mask indoors before the update.

[cut] Uh oh With that, Burr mildly scolded the trio sitting before him: "Listen, you're the face of why people should get vaccinated. And knowing and promoting and confidently giving numbers, percentages. ... Imagine being the parent of a school-age kid who for generations has been required to have their kids vaccinated before they could start school? And the fact that even within our health organizations we can't require that of people ... we're gonna have tough decisions to make." Burr soon warned Fauci, Marks, and Walensky that "if we're gonna get that last mile coverage, we're gonna have to...

Dr Anthony Fauci said Thursday children will still have to wear masks - hours after the CDC finally said fully vaccinated Americans can ditch the coverings indoors. In his first interview since the mask guidance update Fauci told CNN he 'wouldn't go so far as to say [the pandemic] is essentially over', adding: 'I think this is a very important step in the direction of trying to get back to some degree of normality. 'So, I wouldn't want to declare victory prematurely, but I'm saying this is clearly a step in the direction that we want to go,' he added.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) escalated his feud with the federal government's leading infectious diseases expert on Monday, calling Anthony Fauci a "petty tyrant" for suggesting Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus should not eat or drink indoors. "Fauci continues to ignore 100 years of vaccine science," Paul wrote in a tweet Monday morning. "His only real theme is 'do what I say' even when it makes no sense." Americans who have recovered from or been vaccinated against the coronavirus should "go about your life," Paul said. "Eat, drink, work, open the schools. Enough with the petty tyrants!" Fauci, during an appearance...

Vaccine advisers to the federal government tell CNN they don't foresee AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine being used in the United States, and even if it were offered, they personally wouldn't take it, given the other available options. At one point, hopes had been high for AstraZeneca's vaccine, with the US pledging to invest up to $1.2 billion in the vaccine. But questions arose about the accuracy of AstraZeneca's data, and even more significantly, on Wednesday, European drug regulators said there was a possible link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clots. Some countries -- more than 70 have authorized the...

Life should return to normal — more or less — by Christmas, Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Thursday. In an interview with MSNBC, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases warned that there were many variables at play and returning to some sort of normalcy “is not a mathematical formula…it’s a question of estimates.” But he agreed with President Joe Biden’s estimate that things will start getting back to normal “by the end of the year, by Christmas.”

Official White House Photo by Shealah CraigheadDr. Anthony Fauci may be a saintly figure within media circles, but most of us recognized his game within a month or two of the pandemic starting. Claiming expertise does not in fact make someone an expert, as Never Trumper Tom Nichols so aptly illustrates, and Fauci has quickly fallen into that category. The good doctor’s claims shift on a dime, moving from each side of an issue with no accountability for ever being wrong. The commonality in everything he does just so happens to be politics.Take this latest contradiction, which happened over just...

Dr. Anthony Fauci believes the “lack of candor” and “lack of science” in the Trump administration’s Covid-19 response was “not helpful” and likely resulted in more deaths, the federal government’s top infectious disease expert told CNN Friday, as the Biden administration tries to mount an aggressive response to Covid-19 and move on from the “divisiveness” of the Trump White House’s approach.

Fauci later said that a partial lockdown like what is being done in California was "not out of the question." "We hope we don't have to di it countrywide, because we feel that if you adhere to the public health measures, you can turn things around short of a uniform lockdown," Fauci said.

Fauci apparently thinks it's appropriate to deceive the public for their own good ------- In a startling interview with the New York Times, Dr. Anthony Fauci,head of the government's coronavirus taskforce, admitted that he did not level with the American people about how many people would need to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity because he didn't think the public was ready to hear his true thoughts, which he feared might discourage people from getting vaccinated. The Times article catalogued Dr. Fauci's changing position on how many Americans would need to be vaccinated, which he initially stated would...

The U.K. was the first country to authorize the vaccine for emergency use. In trials, the vaccine was shown to have around 95% efficacy. Vaccinations will be administered starting Tuesday at around 50 hospital hubs in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also begin their vaccination rollouts the same day. "I feel so privileged to be the first person vaccinated against Covid-19, it's the best early birthday present I could wish for because it means I can finally look forward to spending time with my family and friends in the New Year after being on my own for most...

Santa will be spreading lots of joy — not COVID-19 — when he visits millions of homes this Christmas. That’s because Kris Kringle is immune to coronavirus, according to the nation’s top infectious disease expert. “Santa is exempt from this because Santa, of all the good qualities, has a lot of good innate immunity,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA Today.

The nation’s top infectious disease expert said his words were “taken out of context” in the ad praising the president’s response to the pandemic. --- Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday he wasn’t happy about being part of a campaign ad for President Donald Trump. “In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed nor do I now endorse any political candidates,” he said in a statement, according to CNN and NBC News. “The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I...
