President Donald Trump slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on Monday for claiming that he was being restricted from doing media interviews.
The president made the remarks in a series of tweets after he reportedly called Fauci an &#8220;idiot&#8221; on a phone call with his campaign earlier in the day.
&#8220;Dr. Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope,&#8221; Trump tweeted. &#8220;All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said &#8216;no masks &amp; let China in&#8217;. Also, Bad arm!&#8221;
&#8220;P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The president&#8217;s remarks came after Fauci had the following <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fauci-no-surprised-trump-covid-19-media-appearances-60-minutes/">interaction</a> on CBS News&#8217;s &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221;:
<blockquote>Dr. Jon LaPook: During this pandemic, has the White House been controlling when you can speak with the media?
Dr. Anthony Fauci: You know, I think you&#8217;d have to be honest and say yes. I certainly have not been allowed to go on many, many, many shows that have asked for me.
Dr. Jon LaPook: One of the most trusted voices in America, and yet, you&#8217;re not there, you&#8217;re not allowed to talk with us. So, can you understand the frustration that maybe there&#8217;s been a restriction on the flow of information and on the transparency&#8211;
Dr. Anthony Fauci: You know, I think there has been a restriction, Jon, but&#8211; but it doesn&#8217;t, it&#8211; it&#8211; it isn&#8217;t consistent.</blockquote>
Earlier this year, Fauci dismissed the notion that he was being muzzled by the administration, <a href="https://fox40jackson.com/headlines/trump-dr-fauci-both-deny-health-official-muzzled-on-coronavirus/">saying</a>, “I have never been muzzled ever and I’ve been doing this since the administration of Ronald Reagan, I’m not being muzzled by this administration.”
Fauci recently complained that the Trump campaign had used previous remarks that he made in a digital ad, claiming that they were &#8220;harassing&#8221; him.
&#8220;By doing this against my will they are, in effect, harassing me,&#8221; Fauci <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/520813-fauci-trump-campaign-harassing-me-by-including-clip-praising-coronavirus-response-in">said</a>. &#8220;Since campaign ads are about getting votes, their harassment of me might have the opposite effect of turning some voters off.&#8221;
&#8220;The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials,&#8221; Fauci claimed.
Last week, Trump <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/15/trump-calls-fauci-democrat-after-he-objected-campaign-ad/3668043001/">said</a> that Fauci was a &#8220;Democrat&#8221; during a campaign rally in North Carolina, saying, “Then you have my friend, and he’s a nice guy, Tony – Tony Fauci. He’s a nice guy, so I keep him around. Right? We’ll keep him around. But he’s a Democrat, everybody knows that. He’s Cuomo’s friend.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci says families might have to &#8220;bite the bullet&#8221; and cancel Thanksgiving this year.
Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, says COVID-19 is still a menace and the rising number of infections in the U.S. could endanger older people or those with medical maladies.
“You may have to bite the bullet and sacrifice that social gathering, unless you’re pretty certain that the people that you’re dealing with are not infected,” Fauci <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fauci-covid-19-surge-travel-thanksgiving-trump-recovery/">told</a> CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell.
“That is unfortunately a risk, when you have people coming from out of town, gathering together in an indoor setting,” he said. “It is unfortunate, because that’s such a sacred part of American tradition — the family gathering around Thanksgiving. But that is a risk.”
“Given the fluid and dynamic nature of what’s going on right now in the spread and the uptick of infections, I think people should be very careful and prudent about social gatherings, particularly when members of the family might be at a risk because of their age or their underlying condition,&#8221; Fauci said.
Fauci said COVID-19 cases are rising in 37 states, adding “what we really have to do is double down” as the U.S. moves into winter, urging Americans to continue to continue social distancing, wearing masks and washing hands frequently.
“They sound very simple, but people are not doing that and that’s why we have an uptick in cases,” he said.
Fauci, 79, also said his children, who live in three different states, won&#8217;t be coming home for the holiday. “They themselves, because of their concern for me and my age, have decided they’re not going to come home for Thanksgiving — even though all three of them want very much to come home for Thanksgiving,” he said.
The doctor&#8217;s remarks came after the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said small gatherings could spike the spread of COVID-19.
&#8220;In the public square, we&#8217;re seeing a higher degree of vigilance and mitigation steps in many jurisdictions,&#8221; Director Dr. Robert Redfield said during a call with the nation&#8217;s governors on Tuesday, audio of which was <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/14/health/us-coronavirus-wednesday/index.html">obtained</a> by CNN.
&#8220;But what we&#8217;re seeing as the increasing threat right now is actually acquisition of infection through small household gatherings,&#8221; Redfield said. &#8220;Particularly with Thanksgiving coming up, we think it&#8217;s really important to stress the vigilance of these continued mitigation steps in the household setting.&#8221;
Redfield&#8217;s warning about holiday gathering was emphasized last week by White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, who said the holidays will look different this year.
&#8220;We know most individuals under 35 will be asymptomatic,&#8221; she said during a visit to Plymouth State University in New Hampshire. &#8220;That means you don&#8217;t have any symptoms, or the symptoms are so mild that you don&#8217;t believe it has anything to do with COVID.&#8221;
&#8220;This virus can spread among families and friends if you take your mask off and you are primarily indoors,&#8221; she said, <a href="https://www.wlwt.com/article/dr-deborah-birx-in-new-hampshire/34362006">according</a> to WLWT-TV.

President Donald Trump will participate in a town hall with Florida voters airing live on NBC, but the network made Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Health and one-time head of the White House&#8217;s coronavirus task force, sign off on Trump&#8217;s health first.
Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden was already scheduled for a town hall of his own Thursday on ABC, following a major disagreement between the campaigns over the Committee on Presidential Debates&#8217; decision to make the event &#8220;virtual&#8221; &#8212; something that concerned Trump&#8217;s re-election campaign. The president eventually dropped out of the debate and Biden promptly scheduled his own individual town-hall-style event to replace the presidential one.
Initially, Trump promised some form of a rally to compete with Biden&#8217;s town hall, but instead, the president will have a &#8220;socially distanced&#8221; town hall at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, Florida, hosted by NBC News&#8217; Savannah Guthrie, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2020/10/14/trump-to-take-part-in-nbc-town-hall-thursday-fauci-says-hes-not-infectious/#70de4b030174">per Forbes</a>.
&#8220;The event will take place outdoors and social distancing guidelines will be followed, with Guthrie and Trump positioned at least 12 feet apart,&#8221; the outlet noted. &#8220;The audience will also be distanced from Trump and Guthrie, and will all be wearing masks and required to complete a health questionnaire and temperature check.&#8221;
Before NBC would agree to host Trump&#8217;s event, though, they approached the National Institutes of Health &#8212; and Dr. Fauci &#8212; to confirm that the president would not be &#8220;shedding&#8221; the novel coronavirus and that his White House physician was correct in suggesting that the president was no longer at risk of spreading COVID-19.
&#8220;According to NBC, Dr. Clifford Lane, Clinical Director at the National Institutes of Health, said in a statement that after reviewing Trump’s medical data with Dr. Anthony Fauci, including a PCR test for Covid-19 collected Tuesday, they have &#8216;concluded &#8220;with a high degree of confidence&#8221; that the president is &#8216;not shedding infectious virus.'&#8221;
The White House physician, Dr. Sean Conley, announced that Trump was no longer contagious earlier this week. The president has already held at least one in-person event since then &#8212; a rally, also in Florida, on Monday &#8212; and insists that he is &#8220;feeling fine&#8221; and that he has fully recovered from his bout with the virus. Conley said in his statement that the president passed &#8220;viral load, subgenomic RNA and PCR cycle threshold measurements,” and that his results indicate “a lack of detectable virus replication.”
NBC was, apparently, loathe to take those results at face value because Conley said, in his statement, that the White House had used the Abbott BinexNOW test to determine whether the president was contagious and did not initially mention any other assessments. Fauci and Lane, however, seemed to indicate that the president is testing well across the board.
Although the situation is subject to change, the president and Joe Biden will likely meet again for a presidential debate on October 22, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. There is also the possibility of a third debate on October 29th, just days before the November election.

President Donald Trump continued to hammer Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday, saying his &#8220;pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications.&#8221;
For background, Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, threw out <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-dr-fauci-throws-disastrous-first-pitch-at-mlb-game-players-kneel-for-black-lives-matter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an errant first pitch</a> at a Washington Nationals game this summer.
&#8220;Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications. &#8216;No problem, no masks.&#8217; WHO no longer likes Lockdowns &#8211; just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!!&#8221; Trump wrote on Twitter.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Trump was hitting Fauci for his past comments on masks. In early March,  Fauci <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/preventing-coronavirus-facemask-60-minutes-2020-03-08/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab5j&amp;linkId=84037176&amp;fbclid=IwAR26II4hGyapIWunq9jDEinZsv7vpqxFbxBg6qlDp4AzB5iq4g9U5-Di6J0">told</a> &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; that face masks were not necessary for the general population amid the COVID-19 outbreak, noting that while masks might make people &#8220;feel a little bit better,&#8221; they don’t provide the protection folks believe they do and might create &#8220;unintended consequences.&#8221;
&#8220;There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,&#8221; the infectious disease expert said then. &#8220;Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often, there are unintended consequences; people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.&#8221;
In April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html">guidance</a> advising face masks for the general population.
“CDC continues to study the spread and effects of the novel coronavirus across the United States,” the guidance said. “We now know from <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html#studies">recent studies</a> that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (‘asymptomatic’) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (‘pre-symptomatic’) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms. This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms.&#8221;
Trump was also criticizing Fauci for lockdowns, which the doctor advocated in the early days of the pandemic. But this week, World Health Organization (WHO) envoy Dr. David Nabarro <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/11/who-warns-against-covid-19-lockdowns-due-to-economic-damage/">said</a> restrictive shutdown measures should only be used as a last resort.
&#8220;We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,&#8221; Nabarro said in a video interview with the Spectator magazine.
&#8220;The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it,&#8221; Nabarro said. &#8220;Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.&#8221;
Trump on Monday said he was right. &#8220;The World Health Organization, did you see what happened? They came out a little while ago and they admitted that Donald Trump was right,&#8221; Trump said during a campaign rally in Sanford, Florida.
&#8220;The lockdowns are doing tremendous damage to these Democrat-run states where they are locked down, sealed up. Suicide rates, drug rates, alcoholism, death by so many different forms. You can’t do that,&#8221; the president said.

President Donald Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci got into a war of words on Saturday over the doctor&#8217;s effusive praise for the Trump administration during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The battle came after the Trump campaign released an ad that quotes Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, as saying he “can’t imagine &#8230; that anybody could be doing more.&#8221;
The 30-second spot, which is airing in the key battleground state of Michigan, came out last week and touts Trump&#8217;s recovery from the virus, as well as his administration&#8217;s response to the pandemic.
&#8220;President Trump is recovering from the coronavirus, and so is America,&#8221; the ad&#8217;s narrator says. &#8220;Together we rose to meet the challenge, protecting our seniors, getting them life-saving drugs in record time, sparing no expense.&#8221; The ad then cuts to Fauci for his &#8220;can&#8217;t imagine&#8221; quote.
While there&#8217;s no date attributed to the quote, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/11/politics/fauci-trump-campaign-ad-out-of-context/index.html">reported</a> that it came from a March interview on Fox News. &#8220;During that interview, Fauci praised the White House coronavirus task force&#8217;s round-the-clock effort to respond to the pandemic, which he says included numerous White House meetings and late-night phone calls,&#8221; CNN wrote.
But the quote may not have been about Trump, but rather Fauci praising himself.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve never had a threat like this,&#8221; CNN quotes Fauci as saying then. &#8220;The coordinated response has been&#8230; There are a number of adjectives to describe it — impressive, I think is one of them. We&#8217;re talking about all hands on deck. I, as one of many people on a team, I&#8217;m not the only person. Since the beginning, that we even recognized what this was, I have been devoting almost full time on this. I&#8217;m down at the White House virtually every day with the task force. It&#8217;s every single day. So, I can&#8217;t imagine that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more.&#8221;
Fauci fired back on the ad, saying he doesn&#8217;t do politics and that his comment was &#8220;taken out of context.&#8221;
“In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate,” Fauci <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/11/politics/fauci-trump-campaign-ad-out-of-context/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told CNN</a>. “The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials.”
But the president also fired back, writing on Twitter, &#8220;They are indeed Dr. Fauci’s own words. We have done a &#8216;phenomenal&#8217; job, according to certain governors. Many people agree&#8230;And now come the Vaccines &amp; Cures, long ahead of projections!&#8221;
And Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh pushed back, saying, &#8220;These are Dr. Fauci&#8217;s own words. The video is from a nationally broadcast television interview in which Dr. Fauci was praising the work of the Trump Administration. The words spoken are accurate, and directly from Dr. Fauci&#8217;s mouth.&#8221;
&#8220;As Dr. Fauci recently testified in the Senate, President Trump took the virus seriously from the beginning, acted quickly, and saved lives,&#8221; Murtaugh added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Team Trump also touted Fauci&#8217;s praise over the president&#8217;s decision to ban travel from China, which came March 13 on <a href="https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1238460647823872000">MSNBC</a>. &#8220;Clearly, early on, we made a travel ban with regard to China. That was a very smart move, right there, because what that did was prevent a major influx from China,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we are definitely ahead of the curve on that.&#8221;

Shortly before President Trump left Walter Reed National Medical Center on Monday, he wrote on Twitter, &#8220;Feeling really good! &#8230; I feel better than I did 20 years ago!&#8221;
But Dr. Anthony Fauci said Trump could still go into &#8220;reversal.&#8221;
Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, appeared Monday night on Chris Cuomo&#8217;s CNN show.  He said that while Trump &#8220;looks fine,&#8221; he&#8217;s in the early stages of recovery from COVID-19, and his health could get worse.
&#8220;He looks fine as you can see the way he looked when he came out of the hospital,” Fauci said. &#8220;The issue is that he’s still early enough in the disease that it’s no secret that if you look at the clinical course of people sometimes, when you’re five to eight days in, you can have a reversal. A reversal meaning going in the wrong direction and getting into trouble.
But Fauci added: &#8220;It’s unlikely that it will happen, but there need to be heads up for it. He knows it, the physicians know it. So they&#8217;re going to keep an eye on it and they&#8217;re going to try and do that within the confines of the White House, as opposed to in a hospital.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re not out of it until you&#8217;ve gone several days out and doing well. But he certainly does look very well. But you don&#8217;t need me to tell you that. You saw how he came out of the helicopter and into there. He looked like he was in pretty good shape,&#8221; the 81-year-old doctor said.
The infectious disease expert also said he waiting to see the effects of the experimental antibody drug that was administered to Trump. &#8220;I think the monoclonal antibody made a difference and it is in clinical trial now to try to prove definitively if it works,&#8221; Fauci said.
Monoclonal antibody therapy &#8220;is a combination of antibodies, made by the company Regeneron, which mimic our own immune response,&#8221; the BBC reported. &#8220;The antibodies physically stick to the coronavirus so they can&#8217;t get inside the body&#8217;s cells and they make the virus more &#8216;visible&#8217; to the rest of the immune system.&#8221;
&#8220;[T]he evidence in patients is still very limited and these monoclonals are still classed as an experimental drug &#8212; clinical trials are ongoing. The president is one of only a handful of people outside those trials to undergo the treatment under what is known as &#8216;compassionate use,'&#8221; the BBC said.
Trump also had four days of treatment with remdesivir, with a fifth treatment coming on Tuesday. The antiviral drug was first developed to treat Ebola and clinical trials have shown the drug cuts down the duration of symptoms. Like monoclonal antibodies, remdesivir is most likely to have greater effects if used early in the process.

Dr. Fauci Warns Trump’s COVID-19 Recovery Could Go Into ‘Reversal’

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that he expects a COVID-19 vaccine to be fully tested and proven safe and effective well before the end of 2020.
“I would still put my money on November, December,” Fauci said at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute panel, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-09-16-20-intl/h_b1fab652bce51f0b287d94e59a996772">reported</a>.
Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said testing a vaccine requires about 150 subjects to actually get the virus.
“Right now, the trials are over two thirds enrolled – really close to full enrollment on one, and over full enrollment on the other,” he said. “It really depends on where the sites are and how many infections there are in a site. So you could get your answer sooner, or you can get your answer a bit later.”
&#8220;Fauci said his projection of November or December is informed by calculations based on where the clinical trial sites are in their studies,&#8221; CNN reported.
Under new plans released Wednesday by the Department of Defense and federal health agencies, all Americans will be able to get a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, for free once one is developed and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The agencies are eyeing January as a target date to begin a vaccination campaign, although that date may shift, according to a report to Congress and a “<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/downloads/COVID-19-Vaccination-Program-Interim_Playbook.pdf">playbook</a>” for states and local governments, The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/fecd2157ba73f72f43c600783c773089">reported</a>.
“We are working closely with our state and local public health partners &#8230; to ensure that Americans can receive the vaccine as soon as possible and vaccinate with confidence,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in a statement.
According to the playbook drafted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the vaccination campaign will be “much larger in scope and complexity than seasonal influenza or other previous outbreak-related vaccination responses.”
Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield said this week that most Americans won&#8217;t have access to a COVID-19 vaccine until late spring or even summer of 2021, President Donald Trump said he was wrong.
&#8220;That’s incorrect information,&#8221; Trump said of Redfield’s assertion. &#8220;When he said it, I believe he was confused.&#8221;
Trump also said the U.S. government could begin distributing a vaccine as early as October.
&#8220;We’re very close to that vaccine as you know and I think much closer than I think most people want to say,&#8221; Trump said during a White House press briefing. &#8220;We think we can start some time in October. So as soon as it’s announced we’ll be able to start. That will be from mid-October on. It may be a little bit later than that.&#8221;

For Americans who have been hunkering down since March, the future doesn&#8217;t look so bright, at least according to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci, an immunologist and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, says it&#8217;ll be well into 2021 before things return to normal.
&#8220;We need to hunker down and get through this fall and winter because it’s not going to be easy,&#8221; Fauci said during a <a href="https://partners.mediasite.com/mediasite/Play/968f633a874c4f1a80c368496f49d4661d">discussion</a> with doctors from Harvard Medical School.
The number of daily cases so far in September, running at about 36,000, is lower than August &#8212; but Fauci says it&#8217;s still too high. “I keep looking at that curve, and I get more depressed and more depressed about the fact that we never really get down to the baseline that I’d like,” he said.
“What I would like to see is keeping the lid on it, keeping the baseline down, until we get a vaccine,” Fauci said. “I think that&#8217;s the thing that turns it around.”
Fauci said that incidents of the virus could increase during the coming flu season. “As we get into the fall and do more indoor things, we&#8217;re likely to see upticks in COVID-19,” he said.
The doctor also said last week that some U.S. cities will see post-Labor Day increases in the number of those infected with COVID-19. “We&#8217;re right around 40,000 new cases, that&#8217;s an unacceptably high baseline,” Fauci said. “We&#8217;ve got to get it down, I&#8217;d like to see it 10,000 or less, hopefully less.”
Meanwhile, the immunologist said that vaccine trials are “progressing very well” and he once again predicted one likely will be readily available by the end of 2020 or early 2021.
Fauci, who helped lead the global response to AIDS in the 1980s, said the coronavirus is similar. “We&#8217;ve been through this before,” he said. “Don&#8217;t ever, ever underestimate the potential of the pandemic. And don&#8217;t try and look at the rosy side of things.&#8221;
Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),  agrees, saying in a WebMD <a class="icon none" href="https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200812/redfield-this-fall-could-be-the-worse-weve-seen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">interview</a> on Wednesday that Americans should brace for &#8220;the worst fall, from a public health perspective, we’ve ever had.”
“We’re going to have COVID in the fall, and we’re going to have flu in the fall. And either one of those by themselves can stress certain hospital systems,” Redfield said.
But the CDC director said “it’s dependent on how the American people choose to respond,” he said. “It’s really the worst of times or the best of times, depending on the American public. I’m optimistic.”
“Eventually, this virus is going to have its day,” Redfield said. “It’s either going to infect a majority of the global population, or we&#8217;re going to have a biological countermeasure that&#8217;s going to be an effective vaccine.”

NO END IN SIGHT: Fauci Says Americans Need To ‘Hunker Down’ Through Fall, Winter

COVID-19

NO END IN SIGHT: Fauci Says Americans Need To &#039;Hunker Down&#039; Through Fall, Winter | The Daily Wire

https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-end-in-sight-fauci-says-americans-need-to-hunker-down-through-fall-winter/

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a key member of the White House&#8217;s coronavirus response team, came to President Donald Trump&#8217;s defense late Wednesday, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dr-fauci-trump-woodward-downplay-covid-19">telling Fox News</a> that he does not believe Trump intentionally &#8220;distorted&#8221; information about the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier Wednesday, veteran journalist Bob Woodward released excerpts of his forthcoming book on the president &#8212; excerpts that came from nearly 20 hours of conversation with Trump &#8212; including a passage that suggests Trump deliberately downplayed the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic in order to tamp down Americans&#8217; panic.
Trump reportedly said he &#8220;wanted to always play it [the pandemic] down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic,&#8221; according to Woodward. Trump added, the book contends, that he did not understand the true extent of the virus&#8217;s impact when the first reports of coronavirus emerged in late January and early February.
Trump defended the comment, noting in a press conference that he was referring to how he handled public statements about the ongoing pandemic, controlling his comments so that he did not incite unwarranted panic.
&#8220;The fact is, I&#8217;m a cheerleader for this country,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I love our country, and I don&#8217;t want people to be frightened.&#8221;
&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to instill panic,&#8221; the president added. &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to jump up and down and start shouting that we have a problem that is a tremendous problem.&#8221;
Fauci, whom the media have often portrayed as at odds with the president over how to handle the COVID-19 outbreak that nearly brought the nation to a three-month standstill, stepped to the president&#8217;s defense on Wednesday, telling Fox News that the president never deliberately distorted information that he was given about the pandemic and that Trump delivered remarks on the virus consistent with what his top advisors were telling him about COVID-19.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t get any sense that he was distorting anything,&#8221; Fauci said. &#8220;I mean in my discussions with him, they were always straightforward about the concerns that we had. We related that to him. And when he would go out, I&#8217;d hear him discussing the same sort of things. He would often say, &#8216;We just got through with a briefing with the group from the task force,&#8217; and would talk about it. So it may have happened, but I have not seen that kind of distortion.&#8221;
Fauci also insisted that Trump did not break with his advisors when it came to how to handle the public face of the White House&#8217;s coronavirus efforts.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t recall anything different than in our discussions that we had with the president that he said things quite similar publicly,&#8221; Fauci said.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t really go over any of the text since it just came out,&#8221; Fauci said, referring to Woodward&#8217;s claims. &#8220;But you know, in my discussions and the discussions of other task force members with the president, we&#8217;re talking about the reality of what was going on.&#8221;
&#8220;And then when we would get up in front of the press conferences, which were very, very common after our discussions with the president, he really didn&#8217;t say anything different than we discussed when we were with him,&#8221; Fauci continued, per Fox News. &#8220;I may not be tuned in to the right thing that they&#8217;re talking about. But, I didn&#8217;t see any discrepancies between what he told us and what we told him, and what he came out publicly and said.&#8221;
Woodward also claims Fauci impugned the president&#8217;s attention span, a claim Fauci refuted.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t recall that at all,&#8221; Fauci said.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, delivered a blow to the pro-mail-in voting crowd this week when he said that he sees &#8220;no reason&#8221; people should not vote in-person come November if people practice proper social distancing guidelines.
“I think if carefully done, according to the guidelines, there’s no reason that I can see why that not be the case,” Fauci told Deborah Roberts of <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/fauci-says-person-voting-can-be-done-safely-provided-proper-precautions">ABC News</a>, later adding, “If you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing, and don’t have a crowded situation, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do that.”
Though Fauci advised at-risk people and the physically weak to stay home and use mail-in voting, he nonetheless emphasized that “there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to vote in person or otherwise.”
As noted by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-no-reason-americans-cant-vote-in-person-november">Fox News</a>, Fauci&#8217;s endorsement of in-person voting is markedly different from what he said back in April. “I can’t guarantee it,&#8221; he told CNN at the time.
President Trump and his campaign have adamantly opposed mail-in voting, alleging that it offers too many opportunities for fraud. The Biden campaign, on the other hand, has endorsed the practice as contributing to public health safety.
“The President of the United States is sabotaging a basic service that hundreds of millions of people rely upon,&#8221; Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates said on Thursday, &#8220;cutting a critical lifeline for rural economies and for delivery of medicines, because he wants to deprive Americans of their fundamental right to vote safely during the most catastrophic public health crisis in over 100 years — a crisis so devastatingly worsened by his own failed leadership that we are now the hardest-hit country in the world by the coronavirus pandemic.”
&#8220;Even Donald Trump&#8217;s own campaign has endorsed voting by mail and his own administration has conclusively refuted his wild-eyed conspiracy theories about the most secure form of voting,” Bates continued. “This is an assault on our democracy and economy by a desperate man who&#8217;s terrified that the American people will force him to confront what he&#8217;s done everything in his power to escape for months — responsibility for his own actions.”
In late July, Fauci delivered a rare dose of optimism when he said he does not think the United States needs to implement a lockdown again.
“I don’t think we need to go to lockdown again and shelter in place,” Fauci told CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper. “There are situations, as I’ve mentioned to you before, in multiple interviews, where, when they were trying to open up a state or a city, that there were certain guidelines that were skipped over. Maybe you’re in phase two, and you need to pause and maybe go back to phase one. That’s entirely conceivable and may be recommended.”
Though some regions and cities may need to look at going back to phase one, Fauci did not believe that would be true across the country if people followed five principles: wearing a mask, keeping physical distance, avoiding bars, keeping good hand hygiene, and avoiding large crowds.
“I don’t think we need to go all the way back to lockdown,” he continued. “And the reason I say that is that we’re learning more and more. If you do five fundamental principles, in any situation, one, wear a mask all the time, consistently, when you’re outside, and can be exposed. Number two, keep physical distance. Number three, avoid bars or close bars if you can. Keep away from crowds, big congregations, and maintain hand hygiene.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mocked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a Senate floor speech on Monday over comments that Pelosi made last week about a treatment for COVID-19 involving cannabis.
A provision of the Democratic coronavirus relief bill from last week was tied to marijuana and would have allowed legal marijuana businesses the ability to access banking services.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with you that cannabis is not related to this,&#8221; Pelosi <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/31/coronavirus-pelosi-defends-cannabis-banking-provision-covid-19-bill/5555644002/">said</a>. &#8220;This is a therapy that has proven successful.&#8221;
While speaking about how Democrats &#8220;are blocking&#8221; the Senate&#8217;s current proposals for the next round of loans, McConnell said, &#8220;The Democratic leaders want the entirety of their massive far-left wish list, all of it.&#8221;
&#8220;Speaker Pelosi is still agitating for strange, new special interests carve-outs for the marijuana industry and even claiming they were COVID-related,&#8221; McConnell continued. &#8220;She said that with respect to this virus, marijuana is, quote, &#8216;a therapy that is proven successful.&#8217; You can&#8217;t make this up. I hope she shared her breakthrough with Dr. Fauci.&#8221;

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>Another day has come and gone in this once in a century national battle for our country. Yesterday more of our neighbors had to say goodbye to loved ones whose lives were claimed by this virus. Yesterday more doctors and more nurses worked long shifts on the front lines fighting to heal strangers and limit a national death toll that now exceeds 150,000. Yesterday more workers brought home pink slips. More main street businesses saw the end of their P.P.P. lifelines fast approaching. Yesterday more laid off Americans filed new claims for unemployment insurance or laid awake wondering about next month&#8217;s rent. Yesterday more school officials wondered what to tell parents, students, and teachers about September.
So what happened here in the capitol yesterday, madam president? With the American people fighting all these battles and more, what did the speaker of the house and the Democratic leader do with yet another day of deliberations? Yet again it was the exact same refrain. It never seems to change. We&#8217;re feeling optimistic. We spoke very politely to the administration but we&#8217;re still nowhere close on substance. It&#8217;s now been more than a week since Senate Republicans released a serious proposal for another major rescue package. A trillion dollars for kids, jobs, and health care. But Democrats are blocking it all. It&#8217;s like they expect applause for merely keeping a civil tone with the president&#8217;s team, never mind they&#8217;re still obstructing any action for our country.
Senate Republicans want to revive a federal add-on to unemployment insurance which the Democratic leader would not let us extend last week. We want to send another round of direct checks straight into families&#8217; pockets. We want to supply generous new incentives for rehiring American workers and workplace safety. We want to send historic money to schools for reopening and invest even more in testing and vaccine research. We want legal protections so schools, churches, charities, and businesses can reopen.
The Democrats say they want many of the same things. I certainly believe that many of my Democratic colleagues who serve as ranking members want many of the same things and could easily find common ground with our chairmen if the Democratic leader would let them talk. But instead we&#8217;ve gotten a full week of the speaker of the house and the Democratic leader shutting out all of their own members and refusing to move an inch, an inch off of demands that everyone knows are outlandish. The Democratic leaders want the entirety of their massive far-left wish list, all of it.
Speaker Pelosi is still agitating for strange, new special interests carve-outs for the marijuana industry and even claiming they were COVID related. She said that with respect to this virus, marijuana is, quote, &#8216;a therapy that is proven successful.&#8217; You can&#8217;t make this up.

On Monday morning, Kentucky GOP Senator Rand Paul, angered by Dr. Anthony Fauci having lavished praise on New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo for his response to the coronavirus pandemic while studiously ignoring Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis’ much more successful response, fired off a tweet targeting Fauci. Paul tweeted, “FL and NY have an identical number of per capita coronavirus infections but FL has 5X less per capita deaths. Will Dr. Fauci be praising @GovRonDeSantis’ response to the pandemic? Will he point out that @NYGovCuomo’s response allowed a fivefold greater per capita death rate?”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In mid-July, Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was queried about the COVID-19 pandemic on <a href="https://6abc.com/covid-19-fauci-anthony-cuomo/6325350/">PBS’ NewsHour</a>. Anchor Judy Woodruff asked Fauci about a solution for increasing testing throughout the country. Fauci replied:
<blockquote>Again, we have a problem. We need to admit it and own it. But we have got to do the things that are very clear that we need to do to turn this around, remembering we can do it. We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York. New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you&#8217;re talking about.</blockquote>
As of August 3, according to The New York Times, New York had <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/new-york-coronavirus-cases.html">reported</a> 421,008 cases of coronavirus with 32,401 deaths; Florida had <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/florida-coronavirus-cases.html">reported</a> at least 487,100 cases with 7,083 deaths. That amounts to 7.7% of the cases reported in New York eventuating in death, while in Florida roughly 1.5% of the cases resulted in death.
As <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-cuomo-quarantine-florida-new-york-nursing-homes">Fox News</a> noted, over 6,200 elderly residents may have died from COVID-19 in New York nursing homes according to <a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/diseases/covid-19/fatalities_nursing_home_acf.pdf">state health department statistics</a>. On March 25, the New York Department of Health issued an advisory that stated nursing homes had to accept residents returning from hospitals whether or not they had a diagnosis of COVID-19. The <a href="https://skillednursingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2020/03/DOH_COVID19__NHAdmissionsReadmissions__032520_1585166684475_0.pdf">advisory</a> stated:
<blockquote>During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. Residents are deemed appropriate for return to a NH upon a determination by the hospital physician or designee that the resident is medically stable for return.  Hospital discharge planners must confirm to the NH, by telephone, that the resident is medically stable for discharge. Comprehensive discharge instructions must be provided by the hospital prior to the transport of a resident to the NH.
No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.</blockquote>

Dr. Anthony Fauci&#8217;s newfound fame has been a &#8220;mixed-bag&#8221; that has attracted &#8220;unwanted attention,&#8221; according to his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, a bioethicist who is currently the chief of the National Institutes of Health Bioethics Department.
Speaking with <a href="https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a32715031/fauci-christine-grady-nih-covid/?fbclid=IwAR3U9HzLaQRyCIZitQI0Cq4C5LMGb-Kjwpv-ZovM1Sg24_IWAKFPFRQLwXQ">ELLE</a> back in June, Grady said that while she appreciates the American public&#8217;s idolization of her husband, it has its share of trouble.
“I mean, I think it’s great that he’s able to communicate with people in ways that make things clearer and that make people feel supported and calmer,&#8221; she told ELLE. &#8220;He’s working an unbelievable amount of hours and not taking many breaks for himself. I do think it’s resulted in what I would call unwanted attention on me and my children. That’s the unfortunate side.”
ELLE highlighted the media&#8217;s various efforts to transform Fauci into a rockstar for the ages:

Speaking with <a href="https://1010wins.radio.com/articles/fauci-on-blowing-the-first-pitch-getting-death-threats">1010Wins</a> after his pitch at the Washington Nationals game, Fauci expounded a bit on the darker side of his newfound fame, including death threats.
&#8220;There is a big divisiveness in the country about politicizing this response to the COVID outbreak, where people feel that some of the public health measures that I’ve been advocating, which are purely for the purpose of preserving the health and safety of the American people, are interfering with their lives,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They don’t want to be told what to do and they get very hostile about it, and it’s just extraordinary. I was quite surprised and taken aback by the amount of threats, not only against me, but my family, my wife and my daughters.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s death threats to me, and inappropriate harassing of my wife and my children,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They’re getting, they know what their phone numbers (are),  they know where they work, because everything seems to be public, and they harass them. It’s very unsettling.&#8221;

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into Dr. Anthony Fauci during his show Friday night, alleging that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is &#8220;a fraud&#8221; who frequently wades into political discussions despite claiming otherwise.
During a segment in which he described Fauci as &#8220;likely the most powerful physician in the history of this country,&#8221; Carlson played a clip of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/do-you-see-the-inconsistency-jim-jordan-grills-fauci-on-protests-church-during-pandemic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">grilling</a> Fauci earlier this week about the seemingly lopsided response from health officials regarding the danger of mass protests compared to other activities such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/compliance-would-be-disobedience-prominent-california-church-defies-state-lockdown-to-resume-in-person-assembly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">going to church</a>.
&#8220;So the protests don&#8217;t increase the spread of the virus?&#8221; Jordan asked at one point, to which Fauci responded, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t say that. You&#8217;re putting words in my mouth.&#8221; When Jordan continued to press him, Fauci eventually said, &#8220;I can tell you that crowds are known, particularly when you don&#8217;t have a mask, to increase the acquisition and transmission, no matter what the crowd is.&#8221;
Fauci nevertheless maintained that he was &#8220;not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way&#8221; in terms of limiting things such as large protests, but Jordan hit back, saying, &#8220;Well, you make all kinds of recommendations. You make comments on dating, on baseball, on everything you can imagine. I’m just asking, you just said protests increase the spread. I’m just asking should we try to limit the protest?&#8221;
Lauding Jordan as &#8220;finally a member of Congress capable of asking a follow-up question,&#8221; Carlson said Jordan is &#8220;absolutely right,&#8221; and reiterated Jordan&#8217;s point that despite Fauci&#8217;s reticence during the congressional hearing to &#8220;opine on limiting anything,&#8221; he has been more than willing to offer his opinions on many other things, many of which have had profound consequences.
&#8220;There is nothing that Dr. Anthony Fauci won&#8217;t opine on, as long as it doesn&#8217;t offend the popular, the fashionable Left. &#8216;Sex with strangers online? No problem! Shaking hands? Bad!&#8217; Every day for the past several months, virtually, Dr. Fauci has advocated for a new coronavirus policy.&#8221; After playing a recent clip showing Fauci making recommendations for specific government responses to the coronavirus, Carlson said, &#8220;What a fraud this guy is!&#8221;
Carlson went on to place blame for the cratering U.S. economy largely on Fauci&#8217;s advice. &#8220;Fauci is 79, but maybe if he had, like, 22-year-old kids who are trying to make their way in this world in an economy that is headed down the tubes, thanks largely to his recommendations, he would feel differently,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not merely an inconvenience when your economy collapses. It&#8217;s the end of the American dream. That&#8217;s not a small thing. Maybe it&#8217;s worth it, maybe it&#8217;s not. But if it is, then you probably shouldn&#8217;t take a pass on the question, &#8216;Are protests and riots okay?&#8217; unless you&#8217;re a total fraud, like a complete fraud,&#8221; added Carlson.
Carlson has criticized Fauci before and questioned what he has characterized as the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/coronavirus-report/497569-tucker-carlson-labels-fauci-chief-buffoon-of-the-professional" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">quasi-religious faith</a> many place in his expertise. In May, Carlson highlighted times when Fauci had contradicted himself on the seriousness of the coronavirus and the efficacy of masks. Referencing when Fauci cautioned shaking hands despite giving the green light to hook-up apps, Carlson said, &#8220;This is buffoon-level stuff at that point, and we are not doing this to mock the guy.&#8221;

Rep. Jim Jordan grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday about the spread of COVID-19, particularly among protesters, and the unequal treatment of protests, churches, and businesses throughout the pandemic.
Jordan (R-OH) asked Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if he thought the government should crack down on protests similar to how the government has banned churches from congregating or businesses from operating. After admitting that crowds of people increase the chance of spreading the disease, Fauci demurred on whether the government should ban protests.
“I’m not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way,” Fauci said.
“Well, you make all kinds of recommendations. You make comments on dating, on baseball, on everything you can imagine. I’m just asking, you just said protests increase the spread. I’m just asking should we try to limit the protest?” Jordan pressed.
“Government is stopping people from going to church, Dr. Fauci. Last week, in the Calvary Chapel case, five liberals on the Supreme Court said is was okay for Nevada to limit church services. Justice Gorsuch said it best, he said ‘there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesar’s Palace over Calvary Chapel.’ I’m just asking is there a world where the Constitution says you can favor one first amendment liberty, protesting, over another, practicing your faith?” Jordan continued.
“I’m not favoring anybody over anybody. I’m just making a statement that’s a broad statement that avoid crowds of any type no matter where you are because that leads to the acquisition and transmission,” Fauci said. “I don’t judge one crowd versus another crowd. When you’re in a crowd, particularly when you are not wearing a mask, that induces spread.”
Jordan brought up the case of Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, who co-own a gym in New Jersey. Both men were arrested earlier this week after opening their business up in violation of state health mandates and refusing to shut down again for weeks. Jordan asked Fauci if the doctor saw a double standard in the way governments have treated business owners versus mass protests.
“Do you see the inconsistency, though, Dr. Fauci?” Jordan asked.
Fauci answered, “There’s no inconsistency, congressman.”
Jordan continued to press Fauci on what the government’s stance toward protests should be given that other activities guaranteed by the First Amendment, such as religious practice, are being stifled. The health official continued to refuse to take a position on the protests.

President Trump later praised Jordan for the exchange, as well as Fauci for his appearance in Congress.
“Great job by Jim Jordan, and also some very good statements by Tony Fauci. Big progress being made!” Trump tweeted.

Below is a transcript of Jordan and Fauci&#8217;s exchange:
<blockquote>Jordan: Do protests increase the spread of the virus?
Fauci: Do protests increase the spread of the virus? I think I can make a general statement.
J: Half a million protesters on June 6 alone, I’m asking that number of people, does it increase the spread of the virus?
F: Yeah, crowding together, particularly when you are not wearing a mask, contributes to the spread of the virus.
J: Should we limit the protesting?
F: I’m not sure what you mean. How do we say “limit the protesting?”
J: Does the government limit the protesting?
F: I don’t think that’s relevant to-
J: Well, you just said if it increases the spread of the virus. I’m just asking if we should limit it.
F: Well, I’m not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way.
J: Well, you make all kinds of recommendations. You make comments on dating, on baseball, on everything you can imagine. I’m just asking, you just said protests increase the spread. I’m just asking should we try to limit the protest?
F: I think I would leave that to people who have more of a position to do that. I can tell you-
J: Government is stopping people from going to church Dr. Fauci. Last week, in the Calvary Chapel case five liberals on the Supreme Court said is was okay for Nevada to limit church services. Justice Gorsuch said it best, he said “there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesar’s Palace over Calvary Chapel.” I’m just asking is there a world where the Constitution says you can favor one first amendment liberty, protesting, over another, practicing your faith?
F: I’m not favoring anybody over anybody. I’m just making a statement that’s a broad statement that avoid crowds of any type no matter where you are because that leads to the acquisition and transmission. And I don’t judge one crowd versus another crowd. When you’re in a crowd, particularly when you are not wearing a mask, that induces spread.
J: It’s a simple question, doctor. Should we limit the protests? Government is obviously limiting people going to church, and, look, there has been no violence that I can see at church. I haven’t seen people during a church service go out and harm police officers or burn buildings. But we know that for 63 days, nine weeks its been happening in Portland. One night in Chicago, 49 officers were injured. No limit to protest but, boy, you can’t go to church on Sunday.
F: I don’t know how many times I can answer that I am not going to opine on limiting anything, I’m just going to tell you-
J: You’ve opined on a lot of things, Dr. Fauci.this is something that directly impacts the spread of the virus and I’m asking your position on the protests.
F: Yeah, well, I’m not going to opine on limiting anything. I’m telling you what it is the danger, and you can make your own conclusion about that. You should stay away from crowds no matter where the crowds are.
J: Government has stopped people from going to work. In fact, just in New Jersey four days ago Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti were arrested for opening up, for trying to operate their business, their gym. They were arrested, but my bet is if these two individuals who owned this gym were outside just in front of their gym, and all the people who were working out in there gym were outside protesting they would have been just fine, but because they were in the gym, working out, actually running their business, they got arrested. You think that’s okay?
F: You know, I’m not going to opine on who gets arrested and who does not. I mean, you get where I’m going? I’m telling you as a public health official, I say crowds-
J: Do you see the inconsistency, though, Dr. Fauci?
F: There’s no inconsistency, congressman.
J: So you’re allowed to protest millions of people on one day in crowds yelling, screaming, but you try to run your business you get arrested? And if you stood right outside that same business and protested you wouldn’t get arrested? You don’t see an inconsistency there?
F: I don’t understand what you are asking me as a public health official to opine on who should get arrested or not. That’s not my position. You can ask as much as you want and I’m not going to answer it.
J: You’ve advocated for certain businesses to be shut down, I’m just asking you on your position on the protests. We’ve hear a lot about hair salons. I haven’t seen one hair stylist, who between hair cuts, goes out and attacks police and sets something on fire, But we’ve seen all kinds of that stuff during protests, and we know that protests actually increase the spread of the virus. You’ve said that.
F: I said crowds. I didn’t say specifically, I didn’t say protests do anything.
J: So the protests don’t increase the spread of the virus?
F: I didn’t say that. You’re putting words in my mouth.
J: I just want an answer to the question. Do the protests increase the spread of the virus?
F: I don’t have any scientific evidence that anything, I can tell you that crowds are known, particularly when you don’t have a mask, to increase the acquisition and transmission, no matter what the crowd is.
J: So you don’t have a position on whether protests increase the spread of the virus or don’t increase the spread of the virus?
F: I’m saying that crowds, wherever the crowds are, can give you an increased probability that there is going to be acquisition and transmission of it.
J: But do you understand Americans’ concern? Protesting, particularly according to the Democrats, is just fine but you can’t go to work, you can’t go to school, you can’t go to church. There’s limits placed on all three of those fundamental activities, First Amendment activities, but protesting is just fine.</blockquote>

‘Do You See The Inconsistency?’ Jim Jordan Grills Fauci On Protests, Church During Pandemic

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/07/Jim-Jordan.jpg

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, does not believe the United States will have to go on lockdown again.
Speaking <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2020/07/31/fauci-another-lockdown-coronavirus-pandemic-curve-impossible-predict-town-hall-bts-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/coronavirus/">with CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper</a> and Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Thursday, Fauci responded to a outside caller who asked if the country will have to go on lockdown; he did not think that was necessary.
&#8220;I don’t think we need to go to lockdown again and shelter in place,&#8221; Fauci said. &#8220;There are situations, as I’ve mentioned to you before, in multiple interviews, where, when they were trying to open up a state or a city, that there were certain guidelines that were skipped over. Maybe you’re in phase two, and you need to pause and maybe go back to phase one. That’s entirely conceivable and may be recommended.&#8221;
Though some regions and cities may need to look at going back to phase one, Fauci did not believe that would be true across the country if people followed five principles: wearing a mask, keeping physical distance, avoiding bars, keeping good hand hygiene, and avoiding large crowds.
&#8220;I don’t think we need to go all the way back to lockdown,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And the reason I say that is that we’re learning more and more. If you do five fundamental principles, in any situation, one, wear a mask all the time, consistently, when you’re outside, and can be exposed. Number two, keep physical distance. Number three, avoid bars or close bars if you can. Keep away from crowds, big congregations, and maintain hand hygiene.&#8221;
&#8220;Those are five not-rocket-science things that one can do. And we know when you do that, and states that have done that, they’ve actually flattened the surging curve and are starting to come down. So, bottom line, right now, I don’t think we need to go to lockdown,&#8221; he concluded.
During the same interview, Fauci <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/dr-fauci-wear-goggles-eye-shields-prevent-spread/story?id=72059055?id=72059055&amp;amp_js_v=0.1&amp;usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA=&amp;cid=referral_taboola_feed">clarified remarks</a> he made this week about potentially wearing eye goggles alongside a mask. According to the doctor, his words were just a recommendation to people who want to be extra cautious but were not meant to be broad advice.
This past May, nearly two months after the lockdowns hit, Fauci said that closing the country down too long could have &#8220;irreparable damage.&#8221;
&#8220;We can’t stay locked down for such a considerable period of time that you might do irreparable damage and have unintended consequences including consequences for health,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And it’s for that reason why the guidelines are being put forth so that the states and the cities can start to reenter and reopen. So we are enthusiastic about reopening, and I think we can do it in a pace that would be reasonable and that would get us back as a society from a morale standpoint as well as the economy. I don’t want people to think that any of us feel that staying locked down for a prolonged period of time is the way to go.&#8221;

Dr. Anthony Fauci has suggested that people should wear goggles or face shields to get added protection from contracting the coronavirus, according to a report.
“If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/dr-fauci-wear-goggles-eye-shields-prevent-spread/story?id=72059055?id=72059055&amp;amp_js_v=0.1&amp;usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA=&amp;cid=referral_taboola_feed">ABC News</a> Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton on Wednesday.
“You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye,” he said. “Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So, if you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it.”
The doctor said that while goggles and eye or face shields are “not universally recommended” currently, “if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can.” Asked if eye protection could become an official recommendation, Fauci said, “It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During his interview, Fauci also said he hopes Americans wearing masks in the fall will also stem the spread of the flu. “It is inevitable that we’re going to have some degree of flu,” he said. “I’m hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza.”
There was initial confusion over masks. U.S. Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams on Feb. 29 delivered a message for Americans worried about the coronavirus: Stop buying masks.
“Seriously people — STOP BUYING MASKS!” tweeted Adams, an anesthesiologist who has been surgeon general since 2017. “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!” Adams wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
But that was months ago, when worried Americans were busy emptying shelves of all medical masks. Doctors and immunologists now believe that masks help stem the spread from those who have the virus to the uninfected, and many states have issued orders for residents to wear masks when in public places.
By early April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprevent-getting-sick%2Fcloth-face-cover-faq.html">recommended masks</a>:
<blockquote>Cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. Wearing a cloth face covering will help protect people around you, including those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and workers who frequently come into close contact with other people. Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. The spread of COVID-19 can be reduced when cloth face coverings are used along with other preventive measures, including social distancing, frequent handwashing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.</blockquote>

Senate Help Committee Holds Hearing On Safely Going Back To Work And School During Pandemic

Fauci Suggests Wearing Goggles For Better Protection Against COVID-19

Dr. Anthony Fauci has suggested that people should wear goggles or face shields to get added protection from contracting the coronavirus, according to a

Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who serves on the White House coronavirus task force, is a household name and, according to a recent survey, one of the most trusted men in America.
In a national poll conducted by The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/27/upshot/coronavirus-americans-trust-experts.html" data-analytics-module="summary_bullets" data-analytics-post-depth="0">New York Times</a> and Siena College in the middle of June, 76% of respondents said they trusted Fauci for &#8220;accurate information&#8221; about the COVID-19 pandemic, compared with 26% who said they trusted President Trump.
But the 79-year-old apparently couldn&#8217;t be trusted to know how far a Major League Baseball mound is from home plate.
For the record, the distance is 60 feet 6 inches from the back of the pitcher&#8217;s &#8220;rubber&#8221; to the rear point of the plate.
The doctor threw out the first pitch at the Washington, D.C., team&#8217;s home opener last week, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/27/us/politics/trump-yankees-fauci.html">the Times</a> reported on Monday that he &#8220;was determined to come to the Nationals mound prepared. Growing up in Brooklyn, he played shortstop on a local Catholic youth team. Days before the pitch on Thursday, he went to Horace Mann, an elementary school in northwest Washington, to rehearse on the lawn.&#8221;
<blockquote>
“I pitched and pitched,” he said in an interview on Monday. “I threw my arm out. I hadn’t thrown a baseball literally in decades. After I practiced, my arm was hanging around my feet.” But he said he made a fatal error. Without a baseball field at the school to practice on, he had to measure 60 feet — the distance from a major-league mound to home plate — himself, and accidentally came up about 20 feet short.
</blockquote>
When Fauci arrived on the mound at Nationals Park, he quickly learned that he was much farther from home plate. He pulled his arm back high, then misfired the ball well to the left,  diagonally into the grass, far from pitcher Sean Doolittle, who had been picked to play catcher for the pitch.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“He looked to me like he was like 500 feet away. That made me throw it much harder than I had been practicing,” Fauci said. “I completely miscalculated the distance from the mound.”
The doctor&#8217;s frank admission drew some scorn on social media.
&#8220;The brilliant mind responsible for modeling the future of COVID-19 and predicting the implications of lockdowns fails to model the correct distance from a pitchers mound,&#8221; one person <a href="https://twitter.com/AzJack65/status/1288118418164420612">wrote</a> on Twitter.

President Trump has decided not to throw out the first pitch at a New York Yankees game next month, citing meetings and continued work on the response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
&#8220;Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th. We will make it later in the season!&#8221; Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump last week began teasing throwing out a first pitch at a Major League Baseball game.
During a press conference on Thursday, he was asked about Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, throwing out the first pitch that night at a Washington Nationals game.
“I think I’m doing that on Aug. 15 at Yankee Stadium,&#8221; he said. “And I say, ‘How’s the crowd going to be?’ And, you know, it’s like you don’t have a crowd,” he added.
“The key is to get back to normal,” the president said. “Nobody wants to see this. I think it is really good that baseball is opening. It looks like football is opening. It looks like sports are opening. It’s a tremendous thing psychologically for our country.”
While Fauci was applauded for throwing out the first pitch (which drew a slew of hilarious comments on social media), Trump was roundly ripped for teasing out that he&#8217;d be doing the same thing.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote on Twitter that the Yankees were on “the wrong side of history and morality.”
“After CONDEMNING racism, the next step isn’t inviting it to your pitcher’s mound,” the Democrat tweeted. “To the players that knelt for the BLM movement, we applaud you. To the execs that have aligned with hatred, you are on the wrong side of history and morality.”
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz also decried Trump, saying in a statement: “I am shocked and outraged by the New York Yankees’ decision to invite President Donald Trump to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on August 15. We all deserve better than a careless major league baseball organization that consistently ignores the surrounding community while pandering to an unapologetic white supremacist like Donald Trump.&#8221;
But Trump was ridiculed on social media for bailing on the first pitch, too.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he can throw a pitch. Even a Fauci pitch,&#8221; wrote Joyce Alene, a law professor and MSNBC contributor.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Others on Twitter, though, posted videos of Trump firing a strike at a baseball game in 2004, when he landed his helicopter in center field to throw out the first pitch for the Somerset Patriots in Bridgewater Township, NJ.

On Thursday evening, White House Coronavirus Task Force leader Dr. Anthony Fauci, fresh off an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dr-fauci-lands-instyle-magazine-shoot-before-first-lady-melania-trump">InStyle magazine spread</a>, threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals’ game in Washington, D.C.
Photos were taken of Dr. Fauci sitting in the stadium while wearing his mask around his chin, laughing and seemingly engaging in conversation with a man sitting to his immediate right, closer than six feet away. His wife, Dr. Christine Grady, was sitting in the seat to his immediate left, also not the recommended six feet away.
The seeming contradiction between Fauci&#8217;s mask/social distancing rhetoric and his actions struck a chord online, leading some to criticize the doctor.
&#8220;Dumping on Dr. Fauci for his errant first pitch is kinda dumb,&#8221; reporter Jeryl Bier said, referencing the doctor&#8217;s wild first pitch. &#8220;Time and energy would be better spent clarifying his position on mask-wearing.&#8221;

As noted by <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/24/dr-anthony-fauci-says-photo-him-without-mask-baseb/">The Washington Times</a>, Fauci responded Friday, telling Fox News that his critics were acting &#8220;mischievous,&#8221; and he was merely lowing the mask to drink water.
“I was drinking water trying to rehydrate myself,” he said.
“I wear a mask all the time when I am outside,” Fauci contended. “If people want to make something about that they can, but to me, I think that is mischievous.”

“I think he’s made a very good choice,&#8221; said the infectious disease expert. &#8220;He’s embracing masking, he’s embracing physical distancing, and that’s a very good thing.”
He also directly scolded millennials and young adults who don&#8217;t wear a mask or socially distance: “You don’t realize, probably innocently, that you are inadvertently propagating the outbreak. You are becoming part of the problem because, even if you get infected without any symptoms, it is likely that you are going to infect someone else.”
“Sooner or later, a vulnerable person gets infected and gets seriously ill,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;You should realize that it is your duty and your civic responsibility: You could be hurting someone else. That’s a tough message to get because some young people feel completely invulnerable.”
