Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has not spoken with President Trump in two weeks. He told NPR’s “1A,” which is produced out of WAMU in Washington, D.C., that the last time he talked to Trump was “two weeks ago” and it was about “vaccine development efforts.”
Half the country is happy about that and the other half is not. He has been wrong on almost every issue, beginning with his original estimates of deaths from the coronavirus.
It’s obvious we need to shift to restoring the economy.
Dr. Fauci continually weighs in on things better left to the experts in that field. His latest bit of advice is for the baseball league to not play too far into the Fall. Of course, they haven’t even begun yet and can’t seem to agree on the money involved.
You can almost predict the fall of the stock market by his latest doom and gloom comments. He wants us to wait two weeks before we do anything.
He also lied to us about masks so there would be enough for “those who need them.”
Dr. David Henderson wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal about why we need to open up immediately. He believes we actually only saved about 74,000 lives which are counter-balanced by the uptick in suicides.
Watch:
The lockdown is unsustainable and we can’t keep it going. We don’t even know if the extreme lockdown and social distancing work. No matter, it must be balanced against the damage to peoples’ livelihoods. Suicides, domestic abuse, and child abuse cases are rising.
Our supreme leader in New York, Andrew Cuomo, has taken the licenses of restaurants who opened illegally in desperation and is threatening others. At the same time, he has no problem with the rioters/protesters who don’t social distance. Many don’t wear masks.
Small restaurants are particularly vulnerable, as this post from Townhall details:
As mask-donning servers approach our widely distanced tables and we grasp our disposable paper menus, the reality for independent restaurants in America is bleak. The “new normal” approach embraced by leaders across the nation is to keep restaurants significantly throttled well into the multi-phase approach to reopening. The few states with low enough COVID-19 transmission rates have chosen to grant business owners permission to earn some money again say they may only do so with a fraction of the business they need to survive.
Simply put, keeping six feet apart at all times with half the dining room closed is a practice that is mutually exclusive of financial survival for any restaurant.
A new report released by the Independent Restaurant Coalition estimates that 85 percent of small restaurants will be closed by the end of 2020. Those that are able to survive were either lucky enough to have a slush fund or are buoyed by a corporation that shares their profit. Under the current phased approach to reopening, however, independent restaurants are not going to make it.
Even if restaurants returned to normal operations with no regulations immediately, the report says, the damage done by months of closures has already sealed their fate. That damage, coupled with the unknown repercussions of the pandemic, such as consumer confidence, give few restaurants reason to be optimistic.
Despite the advent of the Big Box stores, small mom & pop’s are still the backbone of the American capitalistic system. They are being destroyed.
OPEN UP!

Dr. Fauci, is a product of running a lucrative scientific/medial organization, that has NOT always produced the ‘Right Outcomes for diseases that come up.” I have read a lot about him, and that he during the HIV/Aids catastrophe, he did NOT find any cures, etc. but instead, he took a college’s discovery and “Made it his own”…..Fauci is on the ‘receiving end of Millions/Billions from the Gov’t, which included Obama handing over that to him-and Fauci will Always protect HIS POSITION and his Retirement pension.
Of late, I have also read that ‘Fauci (who loved the cameras-even at times seemed to try to contradict POTUS Trump(who admitted he’s NOT a dr. so naturally he had to rely on the medical team of Fauci/Brix, etc. and other agencies, but Trump DID HANDLE IT, AS HE SHOULD.
It’s Also interesting that in the “Rush to get a vaccine for the China Virus, Fauci was given 100 Million from Bill Gates, and it appears the two of them, have “JOINED FORCES, since Gates has given up Microsoft, and went into the Pharma Industry-so now, we have Gates and Fauci who want to “BECOME THE WORLD’S MEDICINE CABINET”……AND ALSO TAKE IN THE BILLIONS THAT THE ‘FIRST VACCINE WOULD BE WORTH.” Rushing this, is NOT the answer, and Many other American Companies, should be doing likewise-and THAT is what POTUS Trump needs to do-NOT take Fauci/Gates as the “American Hero’s they WANT TO BE”…..It was also Mrs. Gates who did say not long ago-“Blacks should be the first to get the Vaccine”…..Is it the same thing they did in their joint venture to STOP blacks from pregnancies as BOTH believe in “DePopulation???”
Gates’ Father, was the head of “Planned ParentHood, who does/did the Same thing, didn’t he???”
Fauci has said “two more weeks” for the last 3 months. Remember “slow the spread?” That was supposed to be two weeks, then two more, and, and two, and so on. Fauci isn’t stupid, and now he admits lying about masks, supposedly. He managed to get his way by delegitimizing hydrochloroquine so his new money-making drugs would be used instead. He is a Charlatan and abuser of his power. He should be arrested.
I AGREE 100%. He himself has caused many deaths and changes his tune every other day. He is a Terrorist and an opportunistic has been government employee.
He should be tried and if found guilty, be given swift punishment swingin in the wind, for ALL ages to see. Dr. Burka needs to go the same way.
All the trillions of dollars we have wasted on these people, CDC and ALL the rest of them, and this is what we get?
Had enough yet, Amerika?
There were quite a few who said from the beginning that staying at home would result in an increase as soon as opening began. In fact, it was suggested the second round could cause more deaths as a result. Fauci’s goal of containing the virus wasn’t to “reduce” it’s effect on the total population, but to “prolong” it. By prolonging the exposure it can cause the death toll to increase. Everyone has forgotten the initial, “live”, case studies. There was the Washington long-term care facility and the several ships that gave a case study of who was affected most. Those ‘cases’ should have been the motivation to adjust accordingly. Instead, for weeks on end it was ALL about how many “new cases” were accumulating. Let’s also not forget Fauci saying, “no new cases, no new deaths” in order to open up. My conclusion “is”, Fauci is an incompetent and shouldn’t be allowed to head anything.
