But NOW I agree with Rubio> "Dr. Fauci is a very good public-health official. His job is to advise policy makers and inform the public," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said on Tuesday. "But his job is NOT to decide what we can do, where we can go or which places can open or close And his job is NOT to mislead or scare us into doing the 'right things.'"

And his floundering of opening schools and lockdowns- terrible.

But his LATEST --- Fauci on Sunday declined to say on CNN that grandparents who are fully vaccinated could see their grandchildren, saying "I don't want to be making a recommendation now on public TV. I would want to sit down with the team, take a look at that."

So, if Faucci represents "Science", that's fine - but just as important to the Medical HEALTH of US citizens is Financial Health and Emotional Health. I don't believe that he takes everything into consideration for us all in terms of OVERALL Health.

Side note> Do you know that Faucci makes more in salary than the US President?

His knowledge and response are based on playing it safe. He only wants to guide us not tell us what to do. That not is job. His options are based on scientific research and first hand knowledge. So do kill the messenger and don’t play it safe. So if u don’t like him that’s fine. But don’t blame him for practicing safe science

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.

You nailed it - this article says it all. 80% is the number for sure... Just read through to the end...

A: Welcome to the wonderful world of science where scientists use actual data to inform them instead of sticking to some dogma despite conflicting evidence.

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?

Stupidity is amazing. Just do what he says and live life long and prosper. It's certainly better than a glass of chlorine.

early on someone else said "15 cases, by the end of the month it will bee ZERO"

Sheep follow blindly....

[merrymini]

Tired of F and would not listen to anything he says.
He did what he wanted, not what the administration wanted. He is a left guy.
He is a liar.
WHO lies.
CDC doe not have a clue.
Assumptions that masks actually work against this virus.
California shut down, Florida did not. Look at the numbers. Florida wins.
Vaccines not fully vetted, using population as guinea pigs for long term effects.
Most people who get the chinese flu, yes, the chinese flu, do not die.
Media has led the population by a ring in it’s preverbal nose.
If the death numbers from 2019 to 2020 are only 50,000 different, how did 500,000 people die from covid?
Don’t let facts get in the way!

we can't go back to normal until enough people get the vaccine to create herd immunity, so do your part get the shot.

"Mixed messages" is simply another way of saying that as new science comes in, a person is willing to change their professional assessment. On the opposite side of that coin, lies those who can never admit they were wrong and refuse to change their minds, regardless of the facts showing otherwise. Let's be totally honest, the predominant criticism of Fauci (and others) are coming because of a single person - that has told the faithful on what to think.

Dr. Fauci’s job is supposed to be to recommend to the president a course of action based solely on medical or scientific evidence. This is only one input. The president then has to listen to his economic, education military advisors etc. and way all of these factors in creating a public policy. This is a no win situation for any, and I mean any president. What good is a perfectly healthy country If the country is destroyed economically, or our kid are left seriously behind and mentally broken. Unfortunately, Dr Fauci has reached a point where he cannot pass a camera by and believes he is in charge of public policy.

Considering the subject of the original poster, I would say in that context, your statement of fact was a slight of the good Doctor.
