Fauci Doubted The Swift Development Of Vaccine. Now Hes Trying To Take Credit For It
Quote:Dr. Anthony Fauci tried to take credit for the swift development and rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine on Sunday, claiming that fast-tracking the vaccine was the “best decision” he ever made despite previously doubting an accelerated vaccine effort.
“When I saw what happened in New York City, almost overrunning of our health care system, it was like, ‘Oh my goodness,’” the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told CNN. “And that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January the 10th to go all out and develop a vaccine may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to an intervention as director of the institute.”
Fauci’s boss National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins told Axios in February that former President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed deserves the credit for facilitating the creation of a COVID-19 vaccine in record time, but that didn’t stop Fauci from pretending that he didn’t spend the last year casting doubt on the administration’s vaccine efforts and goals.
At the beginning of the pandemic, shortly after he said Phase I vaccine trials wouldn’t begin for “three months,” Fauci claimed that “the fastest a vaccine could be ready for use on an emergency basis was one year, although the process could take up to two years.”
He doubled down on this narrative a couple of months later when he said it would take “at least a year to a year and a half to have a vaccine we can use.”
When the vaccine made its debut in the U.S. in December, Fauci reversed his narrative and began encouraging people to get the shot once it became available to them.
“We need to put to rest any concept that this was rushed in any inappropriate way. This is really solid,” Fauci said.
Despite his sudden hope for Operation Warp Speed’s vaccine rollout, Fauci continued to criticize the administration’s goals, telling NBC’s “Today” that he was “disappointed” that the U.S. did not meet the projection of “20 million doses into people today, by the end of the (year) 2020.”

Of course. He looks around and knows ALL of the media hate Trump so why not take credit. None of the propagandist are going to dispute his short man braggadocio. It’s a win win for the little worthless POS.

Given the remarkable amount that President Trump was able to accomplish while in office, despite hurricane-force political headwinds, how he was unable to seem the need to fire the little weasel Fauci is just beyond me.
This is a man who came to national prominence under the tag line “You’re Fired”, for God’s sake.

Fauci is a reasonably bright public health bureaucrat, but that's all he is. He knows nothing about emergency response, which is a whole different mindset.
Instead of just public health bureaucrats, Trump should have had a task force including emergency responders, business leaders to assess the economic impact, and probably some national security people. Fauci should have been one voice among many, not THE voice.

If this were 1870, Fauci would be the guy at the county fair selling miracle elixirs from a mule drawn cart. Finding out who he is has been one of the tragedies of the pandemic.

He's been far from perfect, but letting an orange buffoon define him as such and having his cult lap it up like a dog, is a much bigger tragedy.
One of the myriad reasons we lost way more lives than we had to.

How quickly we forget the Woodward recordings...
Funny how you omit Cuomo from your rants about unnecessary deaths. Fauci was a bureaucrat long before Trump labeled him. Given the number of times he changed his story he also is either a liar or incompetent.

Cuomo has been a joke and a failure in many ways. He and his brother both need to quit their respective jobs.
But this is a thread about Fauci and trump. I don't need to condemn anyone else to also be able to condemn those in the topic of this thread.
I find if funny that you haven't ranted about the evils of murder in this thread...clearly you must endorse it.
