So what will happen now? Nothing.
Dr. Fauci admitted he hid this truth about the coronavirus from Trump before the election
For nearly a year, Dr. Fauci helped guide America’s coronavirus response.
But now all hell is breaking loose.
That’s because Dr. Fauci admitted he hid this truth about the coronavirus from Trump before the election.
Ever since the coronavirus outbreak became a thing, Americans wanted to know the path back to normal life.
The only way to end the pandemic was herd immunity.
That happens when a sufficient number of people are either infected or vaccinated to keep the virus from spreading.
For months on end, Dr. Fauci claimed America needed 60 or 70 percent of Americans with immunity to reach herd immunity.
But now that a vaccine is at hand Dr. Fauci admitted to The New York Times that he’s been lying the entire time about the levels of immunity needed to reach herd immunity.
In an interview with The Times, Fauci admitted he thought 90 percent of Americans needed to be vaccinated or infected to reach herd immunity and he hid this fact from the American people.
The New York Times reported:
In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70, 75 percent” in television interviews. And last week, in an interview with CNBC News, he said “75, 80, 85 percent” and “75 to 80-plus percent.”
In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.
Hard as it may be to hear, he said, he believes that it may take close to 90 percent immunity to bring the virus to a halt — almost as much as is needed to stop a measles outbreak.
During the Presidential campaign, Joe Biden pledged to listen to Dr. Fauci if he won.
But the American people were deprived of the truth of what that meant because Fauci lied about what his advice would be.
If Fauci came clean and said he thought the lockdowns needed to continue until late fall 2021 or early 2022 it would have handed the election to Donald Trump.
And for this act of dishonesty, millions of Americans think President Trump should fire Dr. Fauci.
