"In a chapter entitled 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not,' Dr. Fauci described how Mr. Trump repeatedly told him he 'loved' him while at the same time..."

"... excoriating him with tirades flecked with four-letter words. 'The president was irate, saying that I could not keep doing this to him,' Dr. Fauci wrote. 'He said he loved me, but the country was in trouble, and I was making it worse. He added that the stock market went up only 600 points in response to the positive Phase 1 vaccine news, and it should have gone up 1,000 points, and so I cost the country "one trillion dollars."' (The president added an expletive.)..."

Man kills a million people just in this vountry and he has the nerve to complain

He should be facing a 1000 years in prison and subject to son of sam laws for profiting from a crime

The original shot worked on the original virus very effectively. Very effectively means reduced the number of infections that each case passed on to less than 1.0 and the virus disappeared very quickly, as theory said it would. Shots began in Nov-Dec 2020 and the number of new cases (in Ohio, which I was watching) was essentially zero by May 2021.

Delta was the new variant and hadn't really gotten started in the US by May. There's no evidence that the shots worked on any other variant, but that's Biden's regime.

Does he talk about the old days, when the gay community hated him for his failure to respond to AIDS?

The biggest criticism I have of Donald Trump term in office is that he put people like Pence, Birx, and Fauci in charge of COVID response in February/March of 2020- all three of those people needed to be fired by the end of March 2020 and Trump didn't do it. Trump's instincts about what to do were right but he failed to follow them and listened to people who were deliberately sabotaging the country to aid in his political defeat.

Achilles said...

Remember when Republicans in the Senate were threatening to convict Trump for impeachment during the first months of COVID?

The entire DC apparatus and media were after Trump and he managed to keep the federal government from mandating shutdowns.

The tightrope he walked in 2020 was insane.

I realize now that if he had done what I wanted he would have been right.

But he also would have been impeached.

I will never understand why people worshipped Fauci. He was wrong about everything and we have paid a giant price. He got rich. And the newspapers all went along for the ride.

A friend of mine said during Covid that people like to think they would have been part of the Resistance during the Nazi regime. Turns out millions of Americans were Quislings and collaborators.

He would have been right.

He would also have been impeached and if you remember that time most of the country would have supported it.

Ann would have supported impeaching Trump if he had fired Birx and Fauci. Most of the Desantis supporters here would have supported impeaching Trump.

There were maybe 2 other people on this board that didn't flame me when I said COVID was only dangerous to old and infirm from the start.

Meade was all in on the lock downs. Meade would have supported impeaching Trump.

People need to stop with the 20/20 bullshit.

Because every lever of power propped him up as a hero.

People want to look back as if they knew everything at the time. They didn't.

And the biggest blind spot in all of this is with the "conservatives" that were attacking Trump at the time. Trump knew there was 60-70% of the country that was scared and wanted lock downs and masks.

Most of the people here were attacking me at the start.

If Trump would have done what I wanted from the start he would have been right.

He also would have been impeached and Desantis would be losing to Biden in the polls right now.

They had coordinated the lockdown strategy in october at the geneva conference along with social media

Abbott true blue conservative johnson even orban fell for this scam the swedes did not magic eightball i guess

Do we really believe ANYTHING Fauci says at this point? Come on...

Yancey Ward said...

Perhaps, but that risk should have been taken. I do give him credit for pushing for reopening in Arpil/May of 2020 but by that time the damage had been done.

Temujin said...

This is how Fauci remains on the 'good side' of those who control the narrative and amplify that narrative via social media, news organizations, podcasts, etc. Show yourself as the man in battle, facing up to Trump. If you're against Trump, it doesn't matter if you oversaw and paid for the development of a virus that killed millions, destroyed the global economy, and stunted the social maturity of an entire generation.

You're against Trump, so you're good.

Two things that work for the Left these days: Be against Trump, no matter what. And be against Israel and/or Jews. If you can do both, well...you're in. What must it be like to be a 'lefty' these days?

Robert Cook said...

"Dude has lied to the public with every statement that he made. Why believe any of this?"

You have to clarify whom you mean by "dude." My first thought goes to Trump, naturally, but that's not to say that many others in the public light, including Biden, haven't lied or obfuscated to the public.

Yancey Ward said...

Robert,

Playing stupid isn't a good look for you.

narciso said...

Hes not playing

Mr Wibble said...

Trump couldn't fire Fauci, who was a government employee and thus very well protected. All that would have done was started a shitstorm of investigations, impeachment, and lawsuits, all while Fauci went on TV every day and made himself into the hero.


He was wrong about everything and we have paid a giant price. He got rich. And the newspapers all went along for the ride.

Some of the worst Fauci haters I knew were gays who remembered his handling of the early HIV outbreak. Yet that all disappeared the minute he could be used as a weapon against Trump.

narciso said...

Well he and larry kramer kissed and made up so all is well

Dude1394 said...

Fauci gets his payday for lying to congress.

n.n said...

Most people were not vulnerable to disease progression. The pandemic was aborted, curtailed through covariant and acquired natural immunuty. The mrna treatment produced excess injuries and deaths. Planned Parenthood was another viable Choice to facilitate equitable inclusion of vulnerable cohorts. Masks acted as collectors to enable concentrated spread of the virus and misunderstanding of viral dynamics.

Ironically, perhaps, AIDS was primarily a transgendermic facilitated by progressive, politically congruent policies in liberal enclaves.

Other than not keeping you from getting reinfected, transmitting the infection or dying, sure.

donald said...

Having the basic understanding of what a virus is, whoever bought into that shit from day one are the bad guys. You all learned in elementary just what a virus is, what it does then, how it moves on.

Oligonicella said...

In like vein, I recall that people who suggested shutting down bath houses were vilified as hating the gay culture, not that it wouldn't work.

Now, in certain states, it's not against the law to knowingly infect others.

Very timely. More pap for the dupes. Fauci is the most credible of sources. /s

Paul said...

Fauci was one of Trump's worst mistakes... never should have hired him. For Fauci is a worm. Always was.

narciso said...

he has been a deep state plant for aeons like dulles, like any number of figures,

he was proferred to the top by olivia toye who had no scientific experience, she was a securiy drone, and birx was obama's aids czar,

Drago said...

Paul: "Fauci was one of Trump's worst mistakes... never should have hired him. For Fauci is a worm. Always was."

Are you learning disabled or something?

By the time Trump arrived in the oval office, already under the direct threat of impeachment not just from the dems, always a given, but forcefully by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, Fauci was one of the longest, if not the longest, and highest paid, employee in the US government.

Fauci became head of the NIAID in....wait for it...wait for it...1984! Under Reagan.

Others have pointed this out, but had Trump fired Tony Fauci the GOPe-ers would have LED the impeachment process.

because Fauci never lies

hilarious

The Godfather said...

Does anyone here know (a) how many US Covid deaths were being predicted at the beginning of the pandemic, and (b) how many we actually had?

narciso said...

something like 100 million, hence the lockdowns, those there the U Washington Chris Murray numbers,

Drago said...

The Godfather: "Does anyone here know (a) how many US Covid deaths were being predicted at the beginning of the pandemic, and (b) how many we actually had?"

Projected deaths back in 2020 was approximately 2.2 Million for the US (the corrupted Lancet study that nonetheless was the key driver in the made up social distancing policy and all the other BS pandemic policies, including vote by mail law changes, pushed by the establishment).

Current BS estimates of covid deaths, still inflated, over all the past years is about 350,000.

Trump often told the story of how "his" entire corrupted "health" team walked into his office and told him if he didn't call for a 2 week shutdown millions would be dead and that it could be avoided with an accelerated vaccine development program (which we now know was a pre-setup deal with Gain of Function-Fauci and his ChiCom allies) ....with the GOPe-ers waiting in the wings with the dems to impeach him.

The rest is history.

Big Mike said...

@Althouse, are you reading the book yourself? Is there a chapter where he admits that he and NIH director Francis Collins collaborated to spread the lie that COVID-19 was not of artificial origin? Does he speculate on whether its release from Wuhan Labs and subsequent spread to the US was accidental versus deliberate?

Is there a chapter where he discusses how much money he, personally, and his agency (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)) collected regarding the COVID vaccines? Not to mention how much less he would have pocketed if he had not suppressed information about safe, low cost, effective treatments such as HCQ + zinc and Ivermectin? Does he talk about that?

As I’ve written here repeatedly, it is a huge mistake to think of Fauci as a scientist. He is a professional bureaucrat and that is all he is. His skills are in lying plausibly, backstabbing, taking credit for work done by others, and keeping an eye open for opportunities to climb the bureaucratic ladder over the bodies of better people. Washington, DC, a city I lived in or around for more than 45 years, s full of people like him. There may even now be liberals who delude themselves into thinking that people join the federal work force to be servants to the American people. Yes, there are such people — they occupy the entry levels of their respective agencies, and seldom last long.

Thinking of the millions of Americans who died to satisfy Fauci’s greed, ego, and desire to see Trump f**ked over, burning at the stake would be too quick and painless.

William said...

Fauci lied, but maybe he lied in good faith. What I mean by that is that maybe he lied in order to advance a narrative that he thought would save lives. Maybe, maybe not. .... I think Randi Weingarten, by way of contrast, lied and lied in bad faith. She screwed up the lives of a generation of students for no other purpose than to make the lives of her teachers easier.....Some time back there was a lengthy New Yorker article about Fauci. During the AIDS epidemic the gay activists gave him a much harder time than that given by the MAGA people. Still Fauci and the gay activists kissed and made up afterwards. No grudges were held. I guess gay activists, unlike MAGA people, are liberals and thus part of The Blessed as is, of course, Fauci. Teachers also are part of The Blessed, and that's especially true of their union which is The Super Blessed. So don't expect any untoward words directed against gay activists or teacher union spokespeople by Fauci.

Desantis Locked down Florida. Abbott locked down Texas. It was popular among Republicans to lock the country down. I was getting flamed constantly by all the people who now say he should have fired Fauci.

Mike Pence would have ended up president if Trump fired the liars.

There was a clear plan to put that traitor in charge, have him lock down the country, and blame the lock downs and damage they caused on Republicans.

The 20/20 bullshit has to end.

Looking back with open minded analysis I realize that even though I was right, Trump did the thing that result in the best possible outcome. He was on an island. Nobody supported what he did. How it worked out this way I do not know.

Whether it was luck or brilliance I cannot tell. I currently believe a higher power intervened for whatever reason and Trump was the tool used.

But stop pretending the Republican Party and the Romney Republican voters would not have turned on Trump if he fired Fauci.
