The coronavirus hearing today includes Drs. Fauci and Redfield. Fauci sounds very extreme and sure of himself despite many mistakes in his forecasts. Dr. Paul called him on it and also called for humility.
So far, it is clear that Drs. Fauci and Redfield would not open a thing in 2020. By then, we will have “permanent economic damage” according to the Treasury Secretary.
We agree with Laura Ingraham’s assessment. She wrote on Twitter, “Watching this hearing with CDC & Fauci, I think it’s clear that if it were up to career health officials, children wouldn’t go back to school in the fall, most businesses & churches wouldn’t open anytime this year.”
RAND PAUL BRINGS OUT THE TRUTH
Rand Paul is doing a great job explaining that there is evidence of herd immunity and evidence the virus probably won’t come back. Dr. Fauci agreed when asked about it by Dr. Paul, but he went on about what we don’t know and droned on suggesting we needed long-term historical studies to be factual.
Uh, we don’t have that kind of time before we reopen.
Dr. Paul explained that the virus did not reach pandemic levels in most areas of the country and one size fits all is “ridiculous.” He also doesn’t want all schools to be closed in the Fall.
Dr. Rand told Dr. Fauci he respects him but he isn’t “the end-all” and he doesn’t want him to make the decision about reopening businesses and schools. He wants to look at the Swedish model where children kept going to school.
Dr. Fauci agreed he’s “not the end-all,” and claimed he doesn’t give advice about anything but public health. Actually he does talk about anything, including mail-in balloting, every time he’s on CNN.
He then carried on about the Kawasaki-like syndrome in children who have had the virus or have the antibodies for it — allegedly. Three children have died in New York, but no one knows if it really is tied to the virus. There is no evidence of that yet.
This is the clip of that exchange:

MORE FROM LAURA INGRAHAM
Bernie Sanders’ first question to health officials was a hectoring attack on President Trump. Once again, we see that this hearing is more about politics than medicine. The senators mostly pontificated. Democrats want to make President Trump look incompetent. They also seem to want everything shut down until Biden is elected, as Ms. Ingraham said.
Ms. Ingraham pointed out that we were told two months ago that we “can’t open until we flatten the curve to save our healthcare system.” We have done that. We have crushed it.
The Fox host then wrote that one month ago, they said we, “can’t open until we have a vaccine.”
That vaccine might never come. At the earliest, it would take eighteen months, and that would be remarkable.
A few days ago, Ingraham said, they asserted that we “can’t open until we have multiple vaccines.” Today they are saying we, essentially, we “can’t open until Biden wins.”
Ms. Ingraham also summarized Biden’s approach to the reopening, which matches the media’s.
She tweeted, Biden’s Economic Plan: Step 1: Keep the economy shut down, thus making it impossible to repay our debts Step 2: Explain to creditors why they shd loan even more $ to a country that’s not going back to work Step 3: Explain to voters that creditors are “hateful”
We locked down, yet the virus continued to spread. The unelected bureaucrats continue to move the goalposts. The broad destruction caused by shutdowns will be far worse than this virus at this point.
As a doctor himself, I think Senator Rand Paul is qualified to give our nation a 2nd opinion. Not that the Lame Stream Media is presenting this exchange as such, but at least Dr. Paul is speaking up about it.
Notice the ONLY thing Fauci replied to Sen. Paul was about the ‘end all’ remark. He didn’t address ANY economic concerns or children’s education concerns. Only at the Very end of the hearing did he admit he wasn’t approving of closing all schools until a vaccine.
Since when does Fauci get to decide when schools, etc. open? He’s a corrupt little scumbag. I do think the President is now very aware of just how corrupt…
Was there a more pointless hearing that accomplished nothing and informed even less.
Can there be ANY BIGGER Jackass than Romney. He’s talking about how S. Korea was doing So much and were ahead of us. Well, you Stupid jackass, look where we were and where we are. Our system Was a mess in the beginning but it certainly improved exponentially compared to everyone else. The difference between Now and Then is the massive regulatory unburdening that Obama helped create. I can’t listen to anymore of that Putz.
I see My Senator is part of the inquisitors. Senator Roberts is Too Damn old to even be there. Granted the meat packing plants have a high number of cases but the mortality rate is Extremely Low, nearly non-existent. The high population areas at the other end of the state has about 96% of the fatalities. He does flat out lie about living in the state. He hasn’t lived in the state for decades, like many politicians. He doesn’t own any residence in the state. Fortunately he is retiring and will probably do like most, get a job in “lobbying”,IN DC.
Experts be like all smart like all the world over like:

Senator Murphy is a complete and utter worthless sack of excrement. Trump did NOT say we prevailed over the “virus”, you nutjob. I guess he expects Trump to personally take the hand of His Governor and guide him through the process of planning. When he started off asking if they were all getting paid and then going to hourly workers I expected a reasonable approach. But that isn’t possible by ANY Democrat.
The subject of Dentists is worthy of discussions. If “other” health workers can perform their duties why should dentistry be excluded. They can take the same precautions as the ‘other’ healthcare workers. I’ve said it before. This virus is nothing like the Spanish Flu, but rather closer to the Asian Flu of the mid 50’s, and maybe even not as bad as that.
Fauci: “Do it for the children”. There are close to hundreds of children who have had this same disease, according to reports, but it’s words of gloom, when you bring children to front of the discussion. Use every means possible to Push the Agenda.
What a slick piece of work Fauci is.

This would suggest that Fauci is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. There’s absolutely NO way the country can maintain a complete lockdown until the fall. If and when a surge comes, and there is an increase, good ‘ol Fauci will “blame” those areas hit because they didn’t follow His DAMN advice. As the article notes, the lockdown itself will backfire but Fauci will claim vindication. What a despicable dirtbag. It shows that Fauci is even worse than the Democrat politicians because they aren’t smart enough to pull this off.
He’s a “little man” with a huge ego.
Now Fauci somewhat downplays the inevitability of a vaccine but his entire plan of action from this point on is based upon such inevitability. So the main question Should be, what is His plan when there is NO vaccine. I love it when these “scientists” refer to “sub-optimal” response. How many listening to that understand that is a disastrous result of a vaccine, including death. With so many occasions Fauci is willing to use the word “death” in conjunction with the virus why does he couch it in clinical terms here. What is missing in the discussion is the type of vaccine being developed. It is of the RNA variety which has never been able to work properly. Fauci does mention two previous instances of serious failure. But, once again, he defines it in such clinical terms so the general public is unaware and doesn’t understand the complexity of his statements. He hopes there will be “some” kind of efficacy “that will induce herd immunity”. What the hell did he just say, herd immunity. So, he’s ONLY in favor of herd immunity if done via a vaccine. God forbid we should attain “natural” herd immunity. But Guess What. There is Big Time money to be made with that vaccine.
He’s already making “big time ” money while a lot of us are barely hanging on……nice huh?
If this virus is similar to SARS or MERS,, and evidently those haven’t returned, what is the basis for the assumption this virus will return, whether in the fall, or sometime in the future. Fauci has been adamant Covid will be with us seemingly forever with greater severity.
Maybe because he has “connections” to China and we know he’s connected to WHO……I don’t trust him and I don’t like him.
How does that 14 day scenario work. We have been under house arrest for TWO MONTHS yet there are additional cases day by day. We are in the 4th semester of 14 days. This is all based upon Asymptomatic transmission and there is no evidence of such. The “consequences” Could be serious, Or Not. He’s basing an entire premise on a hypothetical. Are we running a country on hypotheticals now. I have a hypothesis that Fauci is full of Crap. Ask WHY the NIH and maybe Fauci have “patents”. Should the Government even be “allowed” to have patents.
Well said, well said.
Many Republicans in the Senate (Arrogant Chamber of Congress) still have little respect for the President and would still prefer he’s gone. The Only reason for this hearing is to minimize the effectiveness of the Administration. The Chairman has “always” been a thorn to the President. This is nothing more than campaign strategy for the election and the Chairman and Republicans are “willing” participants. Only a rebel like Rand Paul is willing to confront this charade.
Fauci should be asked about the funding in Wuhan when it was supposedly prohibited. Evidently it was His department that provided that funding.
I watched the arrogant little doctor Fauki and hold the same opinion as
Dr./Senator Rand Paul who recovered from the Chines Bat Crap virus. It’s a virus, and a virulent one, However, historically viruses have been eliminated by vaccines that help develop immunity. The same as a person who had a virus and recovered. Why does Fauci think this should be any different? Why, because he and Gates have a vested interest in a lab in China that is trying to develop a vaccine. He can keep it, The virus came from China, that can not be trusted. Why would I want their bat crap concoction in my system? If it’s made in the USA like any other pharmaceutical and medical device should be from now on; Fine. Bring those businesses back and employ American citizens That’s one major way to increase jobs and improve the economy. As is bringing back all companies that have businesses in Chi-Com Virusuhan.
Totally agree!!
Other than Rand Paul trying to help the nation, this is a China Mitch show to keep the panic going.
