National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports ” that Operation Warp Speed’s Covid vaccine rollout was falling short of the administration’s goal of administering 20 million shots in December because states had not been given the resources they require. Mitchell said, “So now we have two highly effective vaccines. Administering them has been anything but at warp speed. What we’re seeing is, you know, the fact that only something like 2.8 million people have actually gotten their vaccines, 14 million doses have been distributed, though. That’s really a big...

The much-discussed new strain of COVID-19 — which is reportedly more contagious than the initial strain that swept the world in 2020 — has been detected in states like California and Colorado, leaving many Americans to wonder when it might emerge in their state and how the country will fight it. Public health experts have largely agreed that the recently approved vaccines will be able to fight the mutated COVID-19 strain effectively, noting that viruses mutate constantly.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a TV interview Thursday that is was “inevitable” that a new COVID-19 strain, which has ravaged the UK, has appeared in Colorado and California — and predicted its spread in the US. “We predicted it would be, when you have so much of it in the UK, which then spread to other countries in Europe and Canada, it was inevitable that it would be here,” Fauci said on NBC News’ “Today.”

The vaccine for the Wuhan virus is now being administered to people across the nation. In some jurisdictions, the best principles of social justice and critical race theory are being used. When the CDC first made its recommendation for vaccine distribution it made it clear that there were just too damned many old white people and to atone for white privilege and past injustices they might have to die (see CDC Is Literally Trying to Kill Granny by Using Critical Race Theory to Decide Who Will Get Wuhan Virus Vaccine). In Massachusetts, convicts who, correct me if I’m wrong, are...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that the new, more easily transmissible strain of coronavirus found recently in the United Kingdom had also been discovered in California. Newsom made the announcement during a discussion on Facebook Live with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“Follow the Science” has become a frequently heard rallying cry from the Left and their media in recent months. An even newer phenomenon is the bumper sticker asking “Got Science?” which is often spotted adorning a Prius or Subaru, between the drivers’ other decals pleading “Feel the Bern” and “Resist.” Anyone paying attention understands that those of us who disagree with our friends on the Left on matters of science tend to do so not based on any aversion to science, but rather the political nature and behavior of individuals within the scientific community. The issue isn’t science at all....

Dr. Anthony Fauci said the country is at a critical place during the pandemic, and that the worst is probably still ahead. Despite warnings about traveling and getting together with people outside a household, Fauci feared another surge on top of the current surge following the Christmas holiday. “We very well might see a post-seasonal — in the sense of Christmas, New Year’s — surge, and as I’ve described it, as a surge upon a surge,” Fauci said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Fauci's admission that he tailored his herd immunity threshold estimate to PR needs drew the ire of Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University. Bhattacharya is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for replacing "devastating" coronavirus lockdown policies with a new, less restrictive strategy. "Dr. Fauci's apparent willingness to mislead the public in support of his preferred policy objective should disqualify him from providing public policy advice in any official capacity," Bhattacharya told Just the News on Monday. "Dr. Fauci's advice throughout the epidemic has ignored the science regarding the devastating physical and psychological harms of...

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” fill-in host and show regular Mark Steyn decried elements of the COVID-19 response, including fiscal measures taken by Congress, and the ever-changing proclamations made by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Reporter: President-Elect Biden said the darkest days of the Covid-19 pandemic are ahead of us. We are averaging 200,000 now new cases and more than 2,000 deaths each day. Do you agree that the worst is still yet to come? Dr. Fauci: You know, I do, Dana, and the reason I’m concerned and my colleagues and public health are concerned also is that we very well might see a post-seasonal – in the sense of Christmas, New Years – surge or as I’ve described it, a surge upon a surge because if you look at the slope, the incline of...

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently admitted that he lied about COVID 19. Specifically, he lied about herd immunity and PPE. We'll come back to that shortly. In an interview with Bob Woodward Trump acknowledged how dangerous the Wuhan virus was The president said the coronavirus was "more deadly" than "even your strenuous flus," and difficult to address because "it goes through air." He also admitted downplaying its severity- for a reason "I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," He didn't want to create a panic or a...

Today is Christmas. It is, though, a very different sort of Christmas. Nine months after the world spun off of its axis and the COVID Internment of America (and much of the world) began, Doctor-In-Chief Anthony Fauci has made his pronouncement as to how Americans are to celebrate this holiday. In a word, they aren’t. Fauci the Infallible, the ever-unimpeachable Fauci, the Good Doctor par excellence has spoken. Fauci refuses to see his family this Christmas—and so too should you. What should you to say to those of your loved ones who remain so selfish, so benighted, as to...

YouTube has censored a video from former congressman Ron Paul, known for his trailblazing presidential campaigns against the Republican establishment in 2008 and 2012. Paul, who is a medical doctor, was censored for “medical misinformation.” “Very disturbing news: YouTube has pulled an episode of the Ron Paul Liberty Report and issued a “warning” that any more violations will result in our not being able to put up more programs,” said Paul on Twitter. According to Paul, his video was taken down for “medical misinformation.” Before entering Congress, Paul enjoyed a long career as a medical doctor. He obtained his medical...

In an interview last week with The New York Times, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted something that many of us have suspected for some time: The media-anointed, all-knowing guru of COVID has been fudging the truth in order to encourage what he views as better behavior from the American people. Put simply, Fauci has been acting less like a public official and more like a parent keeping certain truths from his children. This quote, which has been rightfully making the rounds, really tells the whole tale. Asked why he changed his mind about how much vaccination would result in herd immunity,...

Republican Senator and Florida man Marco Rubio went on a Twitter rant Sunday to accuse Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, of lying about coronavirus in general and masks in particular. “Dr. Fauci lied about masks in March,” Rubio tweeted Sunday morning. “Dr. Fauci has been distorting the level of vaccination needed for herd immunity. It isn’t just him. Many in elite bubbles believe the American public doesn’t know ‘what’s good for them’ so they need to be tricked into ‘doing the right thing.’ "

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday dismissed accusations that he deliberately moved the goalposts on when the country would vaccinate enough people against COVID-19 to reach herd immunity, saying he was previously offering "guestimates." Reported by some outlets as a "confession," Fauci told The New York Times: "When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent …Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80,85." In subsequent interviews, Fauci...

ec 24 (Reuters) - Herd immunity against the novel coronavirus could require vaccination rates approaching as high as 90%, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the most prominent U.S. infectious disease expert, said in an interview published on Thursday. More than 1 million Americans have received a first dose of a vaccine since Dec. 14, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, or only about 0.3% of the population. Fauci, who is advising both President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden on the pandemic, acknowledged that he had incrementally increased his estimates from earlier in the year, when he tended to say...

Japan is closed to visitors. Aiming to slow the spread of the new, highly infectious coronavirus mutation first detected in the UK, Japan said it is temporarily banning people who don’t live there from entering the country. The ban will take effect Monday and run through January, Reuters reported.

In the video clip below from CBS News, we see Anthony Fauci appearing to be vaccinated in his left arm, but when being interviewed about it a short time later he points to his right arm as the place where he is experiencing "injection site soreness". Hmm, if his arm was so sore, you would think he would naturally point to the proper arm, but somehow he does not. All criminals are liars, and when you tell lies it is hard to remember which ones are which. This is exactly what we see on display here. So that begs the...
