Roger Marshall, R-Kan., is doubling down on a contentious tussle with Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday by once again requesting, this time in the form of a letter, the top White House medical adviser provide financial disclosure forms. [cut] "What a moron, Jesus Christ!" an exasperated Fauci could be heard saying. In the letter to Fauci, Marshall cites a New York Post article in which a Fauci spokesperson was unable to produce the disclosures that Fauci claimed were public and a Forbes article reporting that Fauci’s salary, stock and bond purchases, and royalty payments for this year and last year...

A fourth shot of the COVID-19 vaccine may be in your future, but it’s too early to tell right now, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “Before we start talking about a fourth shot, it will be very important for us to determine the durability of protection, particularly against severe disease for the third shot booster of an mRNA and the second shot of a J&J,” Fauci said. “Right now, we don’t have that information.” Fauci said that COVID-19 cases are still surging throughout the country. More protection — which...

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,...

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday on CNN’s “At This Hour” that it was a matter of “when not if” the definition of fully vaccinated will change to include a third booster shot. Bolduan said, “Pfizer’s chief scientific officer said this morning on CNN that he thinks fully vaccinated against Omicron, it means three doses. Do you think the definition of fully vaccinated should now change?” AD Fauci said, “Well, you know, as you say, it’s a technical, almost semantic definition. And it is the definition for requirements if someone says, are you...

White House infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has a dream candidate if Saturday Night Live decides to portray him in a sketch when it returns this weekend. Fauci was appearing on CNN’s New Day when he was pressed as to who he’d like to be the faux Fauci. He hedged at first, saying he didn’t want anyone, but when Alisyn Camerota pressed him, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases faced a difficult choice. To ease his path, Camerota suggested Ben Stiller or Brad Pitt. “Oh, Brad Pitt, of course,” Fauci told Camerota.

The Biden administration’s announcement on Monday that it would soon export tens of millions of doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine completed a dramatic policy U-turn. It came after a tumultuous week in which the administration’s carefully constructed pandemic-diplomacy plan fell apart as the COVID-19 crisis in India worsened. The Biden administration needs to learn from this misstep and demonstrate a more agile approach in managing the pandemic globally and in navigating the domestic politics of foreign policy.President Joe Biden’s foreign-policy team supports India and is unambiguously internationalist in its instincts, especially on matters of public health. It was horrified by...

The Biden administration is working to stamp out misinformation that might dissuade people from getting coronavirus shots, a crucial task as the nation shifts into the next, more difficult phase of its vaccination campaign. The White House announced Friday that 100 million Americans are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but the nationwide rollout is plateauing as fewer people sign up for shots. Administration officials and health experts know the difficulty ahead in getting vaccines into as many people as possible, and are trying to eliminate the barriers to doing so. Authorities need to dispel the legitimate concerns that make people...

The chief US expert on the Covid-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, has said that the "dire situation" that has now arisen in India after it initially seemed to have avoided the worst impact shows that no country is safe from a global pandemic, and climate and youth are not protections against it. Fauci said at a White House briefing on Friday that early on, when lower- and middle-income countries didn't have as many infections, "people would say, 'Maybe there's something special about climate .. What this (surge) is telling us -- in Africa and in India -- (is) that when you...

It’s taken much longer than it should have but at last it seems to be happening: the lockdown paradigm is collapsing. The signs are all around us. The one-time hero of the lockdown, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, has seen his support tank from 71% to 38%, along with ever more demands that he resign. Meanwhile, polls have started to favor Florida governor and lockdown opponent Ron DeSantis for influence over the GOP in the future. This remarkable flip in fortunes is due to the dawning realization that the lockdowns were a disastrous policy. DeSantis and fellow anti-lockdown governor Kristi...

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...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's top COVID-19 adviser, seemed to admit Wednesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coronavirus guidelines are not entirely based on science.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to a question on Florida having a lower coronavirus death rate than states that had far stricter restrictions by stating that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) did some things right, but also that DeSantis did some things that he didn’t agree with. When Fauci was pressed for more detail he said, “some of the things that were done down there by people at the local level really actually did work.” Host Erin Burnett asked, “In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, as you know, right, long opposed...

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was playing to the crowd when she criticized him over the weekend. Fauci appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan on Sunday to respond to Noem, who took a shot at him in a Saturday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that took place in Orlando, Fla., this weekend. Noem, a Republican, has touted her state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and argued against heavy-handed lockdown policies pushed by Fauci and others. During her CPAC speech, Noem told the crowd, “I don’t know if you...

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s interventions continue to lose coherence and connection from reality. We are now at the point where Fauci seems to be implying that normality will never come back, and where reasonable people may draw the inference that getting vaccinated is vaguely socially irresponsible. Take his comments this week, from a report at Business Insider: “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” Fauci said on Monday during a White House COVID-19 press briefing. “For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate. That’s because of the safety of...
