Fauci tamps down concern about Covid-19 booster review process

President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser sought to dismiss concerns Sunday over whether the White House’s vocal embrace of Covid-19 boosters had any influence over the regulatory process.
“I don’t think there’s any a political issue there; I think it’s just public health data and evidence,” Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Some of the experts on the FDA’s outside panel were troubled by the amount of data — or lack thereof — presented by the companies in order to form their recommendations this week, though those qualms did not ultimately stand in the way of them backing the boosters.
Fauci told host Chris Wallace that data gathered in the United States and elsewhere, primarily Israel, point toward the need for booster shots to ward against waning protection against the deadly coronavirus. He said that a top priority remains trying to convince the tens of millions of people in the country who are eligible to get the vaccine but have not yet done so to get a shot.
Fauci also declined to directly confront opposition from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republican elected officials regarding vaccination requirements imposed by the government or private companies. However, he did offer that “from a public health standpoint, that is really unfortunate.”
He said he understood where these officials are coming from in terms of being wary of encroaching on individual liberty and autonomy, “but when you’re in a public health crisis, sometimes unusual situations require unusual actions.”
“We’re not living in a vacuum as individuals. We’re living in a society and society needs to be protected,” Fauci said. LINK

Society would have been best protected by killing Anthony Fauci prior to 2008.
What say the bioethicists?

Now we are supposed to believe anything this cocksucker says? He has been wrong on everything so far. Screw this traitor. Why do Chinese tools continue to get airtime?

Fauci wouldn't know evidence if it hit him square between the eyes.

So the Consitution and individual liberties don't apply when inconvenient during a fake health crisis.
Got it.

Say what you want about Fauci, but he’s allowing us to do Halloween this year with our children.
