  1. This government has failed longtime specialist educated doctor and the president is telling us he’s an idiot

    1. @Joe Mauer Family physician, Urologist, nephrologist, rheumatologist, ophthalmologist and my daughter works for two surgeons. NO ONE follows cdc mask protocols, no one. Not you. The protocol on the CDC web site is DO NOT touch your mask. If you do them you have to sanitize or wash and put on a new mask. Face shields are not allowed as not proven to work. and the mask is to keep you from transmitting covid and has zero protection for getting it . Fauci is a liar. Just my opinion but shutting down this country is not helping a damn soul.

    1. @Boch Gole Actually he is working on a vaccine, just like most epidemiologists and virologists around the world.
      But still, I think it would be more beneficial if they would concert their efforts in finding a cure for stupidity, so people like you would be able to apply common sense and mitigate the spread of the virus.

    2. @DGGJR was he not speaking based on the information he had at the time and my point is did he not correct it so why are you still holding on to that

    3. @Christine Pitt IT WAS WELL KNOWN SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT MASKS WORK. ASIAN MEDICALS WERE ESPECIALLY ADAMANT THAT THEY WERE EFFECTIVE. EVEN FAUCI ADMITTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO IN A INTERVIEW THAT THE REASON HE SAID MASKS DIDNT WORK WAS BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE HERE IN THE USA.

    1. @Wesley Bell He says here “If we had uniformly done …” –as if that were possible. It isn’t –not when people like me are deadset against you as are many other millions. He seems to be wishing we lived in another reality –versus having a plan to get people like me to be on board or agree .

      His plan for gaining buy-in seems to be perpetual scolding.
      That is not a known /accepted method of gaining buy-in!

      Overall his statement here If we had done uniformly what was required..” reminds me of Gary Oldman playing Churchill in Darkest Hour where his cabinet timidly says “we have reservations about..” and Oldman screams out “Who among us is free of RESERVATIONS”!!!! I feel like yelling that same line at Fauci. Something like “Yes if only we lived in an imaginary fucking universe where people would gladly lose their jobs and homes to save lives under a theory they do not agree with. If only!!!!!!!

      LO Fucking L

    2. @Mike Smith the Republicans are the SOCIALISTS… Corporate Welfare is alive and well, THRIVING AND WAAAAAAY MORE COSTLY THAN *ANY* SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAMS THAT ACTUALLY HELP OUT THE LEAST AMONG US. PRIVATIZE the PROFITS and SOCIALIZE the LOSSES!

    3. And (remember) when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind and jinn) (of her lifetime).”
      O Mary! “Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and Irka‘î (bow down) along with ArRâki‘ûn (those who bow down).”
      This is (a part) of the news of the Ghaib (unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We reveal to you (O Muhammad ﷺ). You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed.
      (Remember) when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh gives you the glad tidings of a Word [“Be!” — and he was! i.e. ‘Îsâ (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Îsâ (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allâh”.
      “He will speak to the people in the cradle(1)) and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous”.
      She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me.” He said: “So (it will be) for Allâh creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: “Be!” ¾and it is.
      And He (Allâh) will teach him [‘Îsâ (Jesus)] the Book and AlHikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom), and the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).
      And will make him [‘Îsâ (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allâh’s Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allâh’s Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.

  2. In Auckland, New Zealand, when we were “mandated” to wear a mask on public transport – guess what – we did. It wasn’t hard and we lived.

    1. @Pistol City Kid CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks
      OCTOBER 12, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
      A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them.
      A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from health care facilities who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask. “In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report stated.

  3. We’re not only rounding corners, we’re taking stairwells and elevators and filling up our hospitals. A few weeks ago the covid unit in mine was 1/2 of one floor, now it’s two floors with patients now doubled up in rooms. It’s expected that our 7 floor hospital will be all covid patients in 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Literally all Fauci is asking is to keep social distancing, wash hands and put on a mask…you are not making anything great if someone’s life is it worth even doing that much!

    1. Biden received highly illegal payola from China and Russia for political influence, during and after as Vice President of the USA which makes him not eligible to run for President and long term prison time. He killed millions of USA manufacturing jobs, etc. etc. getting filthy rich in the process. One of the largest coverup in USA history.

      Too many people, most of them Trumpers, are too irresponsible and unethical to look at the facts and act accordingly.

    3. The challenge with this pandemic is that there are many whose lives have not “yet” been touched by the virus other than financially and in the news. These are the ones who attend the rallies, party at the beaches, protest in the streets, gather en mass on motorcycles, and demand to socialize in bars. I once thought we were an intelligent society, but the very fact that Trump is our president, rather than a dishwasher is a good portion of our nation proving me wrong.

    1. @just wannabefree ~ It’s simultaneously both hilarious and deadly serious:

      The comparison is not intended to be one of character, but of blind adherence to dubious, bankrupt, or failed ideology, leading to catastrophic failure highly damaging to America and lethal to Americans. The following should aid in understanding why our comparison is not only valid, but an astute, appropriate one:

      _Hoover saw the presidency as a vehicle for improving the conditions of all Americans by encouraging public-private cooperation—what he termed “volunteerism”. He tended to oppose governmental coercion or intervention, as he thought they infringed on American ideals of individualism and self-reliance._ ~Wikipedia

      _Hoover’s reputation as a humanitarian—earned during and after World War I as he rescued millions of Europeans from starvation—faded from public consciousness when his administration proved unable to alleviate widespread joblessness, homelessness, and hunger in his own country during the early years of the Great Depression._ ~Brittanica

      Why Trump Ended the Task Force and Put a Kook in Charge of the Coronavirus
      Jonathan Chait — October 20, 2020

      _The implosion of the last Republican administration was in large part the story of conservative ideology defeating empiricism. George W. Bush dismissed intelligence and foreign-policy professionals who questioned the Iraq weapons claims and pressed the need to plan for an occupation as small-minded bureaucrats disloyal to his grand vision._

      Historian explains why Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response is remarkably similar to Herbert Hoover’s failed crisis leadership
      April 14, 2020 — History News Network
      Robert Rupp is a professor of history and political science at West Virginia Wesleyan College.

      On April 9, the New York Times reported more than 6 million new unemployment claims for the previous week, and nearly 17 million over the previous three weeks. As this massive unemployment has followed the coronavirus crisis, a comparison between Presidents Donald Trump and Herbert Hoover becomes more apt than ever. For both presidents failed to project candor or show leadership during an unprecedented national crisis.

      President Hoover during his first year in office confronted an economic collapse. Unemployment soared to a record 25% at time when most Americans did not have access to unemployment benefits let alone health care. But as the nation sank into the Great Depression of the 1930s, Hoover radiated confidence. He was fond of saying that prosperity was just around the corner.
      Hoover allegedly explained his optimistic proclamations by saying that “A doctor does not tell his patient how sick he is.” His lack of openness prompted a pushback as opponents during his administration labelled the slums built outside major cities as “Hoovervilles,” and encouraged people to call an empty pocket turned inside out as a “Hoover Flag.”

      Like Hoover, Trump leans toward overconfidence rather than openness. According to the Washington Post, he had sought to downplay the coronavirus threat 33 times in February and March. At the start of the pandemic Trump appeared to dismiss the threat by highlighting low numbers (only 5 deaths and 15 cases). In the following months he repeatedly ignored Winston Churchill’s observation that “ There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.” On April 3, President Trump did warn Americans that this week “there’s going to be a lot of death.” But then he talked about “the light at the end of the tunnel.”

      Another characteristic shared by the two presidents is an avoidance of strong presidential action; each proved reluctant to use the full power of the federal government.

      Any discussion of presidential leadership must first recognize that Hoover was not a laissez-faire bystander as the depression worsened.

      _However, Hoover’s initiatives were constrained by his conservative political philosophy. He had strong ideological resistance to excessive federal intervention—a profound belief that such action would undermine initiative and responsibility. He expressed his strong views in his 1922 book American Individualism, which highlighted the danger of collectivism and a reliance too much on the federal government. In this regard he believed that assistance should be handled on a local, voluntary basis rather than on the federal level._

      The American public would have to wait until President Franklin Roosevelt initiation of the New Deal and mobilization efforts during the World War II to witness dramatic model of full government intervention.
      Like his overconfident pronouncements, Hoover’s principled resistance to extensive federal intervention did not serve him well as president and may have undermined his political future. Hoover was elected with 444 electoral votes winning all but 8 states in 1928. Four years later he received 59 electoral votes and carried just 6 states.

      Today no politician mentions him, except to compare their political opponent to him.
      If history shows Hoover followed the wrong path for principled reasons, what will it say about Donald Trump, who has several tools that were not available to Hoover? Unlike Hoover, Trump could use such tools as War Production act and Defense Production act that date to World War II and the Korean War era, plus he has the precedent of the New Deal. All of these things happened after Hoover was president, and although available to Trump, he nonetheless is choosing not to use them as part of his action plan.

    1. A habitual liar, can never believe that his mother knows he is lying. If he can silence the few, then he succeeded in silencing the many. Trump, is a Zombie.
      A Zombie never believes others, but prefers to fix everything on his own. A Zombie never follows directions. A Zombie is always confused. A Zombie always end sentence with the word ‘believe me’. A Zombie always involves his family members in his crimes. A Zombie never remembers. A Zombie is never aware you are real. A Zombie always relies on his other Zombies to spread the lies. A Zombie wants to kill. A Zombie wants an oath of allegiance, and praise. A Zombie always eats your brain, etc.

    2. @The Road We Drove ____travels with Woody____ ….. why don’t people ever talk about the thousands of lives Trump has saved of people being trafficked!!!!??? No body else has done that!!! It’s never even mentioned!!!! Look it up!!! He never gets credit for all the great things he does thanks to our demonizing media!!!

    1. @Kay Bel I am saying that the death toll would be less than 20,000 if Trump had done a meaningful response. What’s leftist about that? I’ll also add the case count would be less than 400,000 instead of 9 million as well.

    2. @Emancipation 0f Mimi D 3 Fauci is on live television in 2017 warning the current presidential administration of a surprise viral outbreak, surprise!

  4. Erin: Do you think he`s trying to get you quit? Dr Fauci: I don`t think so, Erin. I don`t pay attention to that kind of thing!

  5. How many times can you “round a corner” before your going in circles?🤔📈

    1. Lol.. suppose it all depends on the angle. He is just hoping to stretch this corner-circle until November. Then he can just drop into the depths of hell where I hope he stays forever

  6. This man lives by the guideline of see the job, do the job, stay out of misery. Simple and effective…God bless him.

  7. Dr. Fauci: “Considerable number of lives could have been saved…If I hadn’t told people in my official capacity as an infectious disease expert that they had more to worry about from the flu, and that masks are completely unnecessary and ineffective”
