But this thread has nothing to do with that bill. But I am sort of used to folks “turning” things. |

From the CDC Website: "It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Experts are also looking at how many people get vaccinated and how the virus is spreading in communities. We also don’t yet know whether getting a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people, even if you don’t get sick yourself. CDC will continue to update this page as we learn more." (Feb 19) |

Lately there's been a push by certain people to make Fauci the scapegoat for everything from A to Z and some of us are apparently buying it. It does not reflect well on us. |

He chose to be silent rather than speak up. If you don't have any integrity left, better to keep the mouth shut. |
No me, 100% respect for Dr.Fauci. The virus is not a constant and our knowledge and response change frequently.

All of the vaccines out there have an efficacy of around 95%. If you’ve been fully vaccinated you should behave like you’re one of the 5% until we hit the 80% vaccinated necessary for herd immunity. |
He has been a joke from day 1. Most overpaid employee there is.

I think everybody is tired of hearing from him. Flip flop tell us what to do .

I don’t pay attention to one thing Dr. Fauci has to say. He’s been all over the place on everything. The way people like him staying businesses by keeping everything and everyone in turmoil. And I don’t wear a mask except for a doctor appointment which is very few and far between
|
Don’t trust him anymore, although the CDC is a excellent organization. Once he moved into a government job he has trouble telling the truth and speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
|
Who do you trust?
If you don't believe what Dr. Fauci is saying about Covid-19, who do you believe?
CDC WHO Dr. Atlas Your GP Politician R Politician D I trust the science. I would listen to an epidemiologist speaking about Covid before a politician, general practitioner, or a blog post. I trust the CDC, WHO. and Dr. Fauci. I believe Dr Fauci is the preeminent voice worldwide on Covid as well as many other communicable diseases. |
Selecting Dr. Fauci was an extremely poor decision, in my opinion. I am sure, in his day - which was back in the 80s - he was fine. But, no one can tell me - with all the great minds at outstanding universities and research institutions here in the US and around the world - not one other person on this earth - who has more recently achieved great accolades in the field - was equally or more qualified and established as a better and more consistent/reliable communicator! If Fauci (at 80 yrs old) is all we have as our go-to-person / expert - we are in some serious, really serious trouble.
BTW - I lost total confidence in Dr. Fauci when I saw him sitting at a baseball game - with others - no mask - after telling everyone they must wear a mask and remain locked down. I lost all credibility with him at that point..... also - I agree - his role is NOT to be the single voice directing our policies on how we can or can not live our lives. He has been given way too much power - by each President (Trump and Biden) in my opinion. |

Yes, they are facts (partial) that lack context. Early on, he said the USA has nothing to worry about. Fauci said, “Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.” Early on, he said wearing a mask is not necessary.

Dr. Fauci is an ego maniac with a Napolean syndrome. I wouldn't listen to him if he was the last doctor on earth. Should have been fired by Trump a long tome ago.
|
Wow all my life I put faith in GOD. Fauci is not smarter and did not keep me alive. The Lord above will help us. We just need to praise him.
|
Half million a year is lots of money to be paid, but he is good at keeping everyone confused. Lifer government employee.
|
Is he the only one who knows about COVID? I’d like to hear from other MDs and researchers please ..... why are we putting all the eggs in his basket?

Peace, love and well wishes to all. Read and listen to what you see and hear about the virus. Consider all and take in what you want but know that Beliefs are hard to change and no one can change your beliefs but you. The virus is evolving just like the advise so what was said or promoted in the past may be changed now to attack the virus or viruses we are now facing. Nothing is static.
Stay safe! |

I can not find any information on line about the vaccines preventing long haul side effects so I must have heard that from one of the resident doctors on a TV news source. I do remember being very encouraged by hearing about that. |

Every single soul was bamboozled by this virus. Even people schooled in medicine admit to being surprised and not able to get information initially, simply because there was none. Pandemics are not common and each has it's own symptoms and death tolls. People who counted dead bodies from this were unsure how to do it. People who treated people with Covid-19 had no background information on this different kind of pneumonia and blood vessels being clogged and seniors dying in higher numbers. Fauci had a lot of background knowledge on all kinds of epidemics and lots of information on how viruses and bacteria affect people, but not any information on this one at the beginning. All medical people were floundering at the beginning. I think he did well, considering the political powers that had far less information being critical of his information. All those involved did the best they could. Well most of them anyway. I am not a medical person. I am just an 81 year old observer of life and I have been gravely disappointed in people this last year by some, and had my faith renewed in mankind by others. I am YOUR fan, DeWilson. I am also a fan of the OP, although we don't always see things exactly the same. |
Isn't that the truth.
It seems the world is full of hate and lies!! |
.
. I'm the OP for this Fauci (now spelled right...) Thread. Interesting posts and feedback from many sides folks. But - I am not swayed to change my original views. And FYI - here's more feedback to support my "Fauci Fatigue". ------------------------------------------ Senior analyst Brit Hume laid into public policymakers Tuesday for appearing to solely rely on Dr. Anthony Fauci for guidance on the coronavirus pandemic and shutting out scientists from other fields. "He’s an epidemiologist," Hume told Katie Pavlich of Fauci. "His job is to fight this disease. He’s not an expert in child psychology, or children’s education. He’s not an expert on whether cancer screenings can be postponed when there’s lockdowns that are affecting hospitals. He’s not an authority on the U.S. economy or the damage that may be done to it. He’s just not. That’s somebody else’s problem and it’s not his." Hume then criticized governors who locked down their states last year based on Fauci’s ever-evolving messaging. "When we as a nation turn over all of our policies [that] this pandemic touches upon or [is] touched upon by it, to a person with a very narrow focus, we end up with these insane lockdowns and we end up with collateral damage about which he seems unconcerned, because it’s not in his bailiwick, and we end up with the terrible problems that we’ve had," he said. "When they talk about 'Follow the science,' the question becomes, which science? Economics is a science. Cardiology is a branch of science … If you only listen to some scientists instead of looking through a broader lens, you end up with the kind of policy decisions we’ve made. I think these lockdowns and the closing of the schools are the worst public policy decisions of my lifetime." For much of the mainstream media, Fauci has achieved a kind of iconic status since the coronavirus and COVID-19 became a despised part of American life. But in a tweet on Tuesday, Hume issued a reminder of the limits of Fauci’s responsibility — and his expertise. “Remember: his job is to fight the Covid outbreak,” Hume wrote. “He has no responsibility for children’s mental health or education. The economy is someone else’s problem. So are missed cancer screenings; suicides and other collateral damage from lockdowns etc.” While Hume laid much of the responsibility at the feet of public officials, there was another group he called out. "A great deal of responsibility for our unfortunate responses belongs with the news media, which has been terrible in this." Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, seemed to say the existence and spreading use of the coronavirus vaccines would not mean a break from COVID-19 restrictions for the general population any time soon. “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” Fauci said, according to Business Insider. “For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate. That’s because of the safety of society.” Now, it’s “because of the safety of society”? That’s the latest, nebulous line from Fauci, who might well be respected in his field for a good reason, but has squandered his credibility over his year in the public eye. Hume is not the only one suffering from Fauci fatigue. (It would probably be harder to find a sane person who hasn’t had it with the doctor by now.) . . |
Yeah, and now he wants people to wear double masks....soon it'll be 3. SMDH !

In the medical field there is always testing and new Data coming into light. As that NEW information is discovered, new advice is dispensed. It is not being "wishy-washy". It is just dispensing the Best advice for the Data that is currently known.

Not me!
He’s been doing his job for decades and has forgotten more about infectious diseases than you think you know. The good doc is the most reliable and non-political source of COVID information that is available. By the way, why don’t you learn the proper spelling of his name. |

B: In the early days, there was a shortage of masks and he and others wanted them to go to people most in need instead of the greedy, idiotic hoarders. Would you really rather scientists stick to their original hypotheses forever instead of adjusting recommendations as new data come in? |
