The goal posts are moving so swiftly now that Fauci can't even make up a number

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus held a hearing Thursday titled, "Reaching the Light at the End of the Tunnel: Ending COVID-19," but it erupted into shouting match when Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pressed Dr. Anthony Fauci on when that end might become a reality in terms of restrictions being lifted.
quote:
"When is the time?" Jordan asked. "When do Americans get their freedom back?"
"When we get the level of infection in this country low enough that it is not a really high threat," Fauci said. Jordan continued to ask for specifics as far as what level would be deemed low enough.
"What is low enough? Give me a number ... what metrics, what measures, what has to happen before Americans get their freedoms?" he asked.
Fauci replied that his message was to make sure as many Americans as possible get vaccinated quickly "to get the level of infection in this country low that it is no longer a threat."
"That is when," he answered.
Jordan, not satisfied with the response, asked Fauci what determines when that level is reached.
"What outcome do we have to reach before Americans get their liberty and freedoms back?" he asked.
Fauci took issue with Jordan's characterization of the issue as a matter of liberty and freedom instead of a public health crisis where he is trying to keep people from dying.
"You don't think Americans' liberties have been threatened the last year, Dr. Fauci?" Jordan asked, raising his voice. "They've been assaulted!"
"I don't look at this as a liberty thing, Congressman Jordan, I look at this as a public health thing," Fauci said. "I disagree with you on that completely."
Jordan noted that the Constitution does not go away during a pandemic. Fauci, raising his own tone, stated that "this will end, for sure, when we get the level of infection very low."
quote:
"When? What are the numbers?" he pressed.
"Right now we're at an unacceptably high level," Fauci said. "What you're going to see as more and more people get vaccinated and we get over three million people a day, you're going to see the level of infection come down and down, and gradually there will be more flexibility for doing the things that you're talking about."
Jordan again asked for a specific number. Fauci began to respond, but the next member began to speak, thanking Clyburn.
"I'd like my question answered!" Jordan demanded.
"You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth!" Waters yelled.
He is too scared to even give a certain % covid rate or vaccination rate at this point. He has been called out so many times now for his goal post moving that he won't even give a number out anymore.

Fauci is definitely a fraud and probably a criminal.

I watched it live. Jordon was going off. It got heated.
Then a dem congressman got up there and started bashing Tucker Carlson. It was weird.

He has risen to a level of power and influence and wants to keep it that way.

Fauci is an obvious leftist because he cannot handle logic.
If he doesn't understand the liberty/health tradeoff then he should advocate for the elimination of cars in order to save 1,000s of lives every year.

We’re already there. I mean Jesus Christ! This time two years ago as many people were dying from the flu as are dying right now from Covid.

You're being way to rational.

That would have been my follow up question.

He's not scared at all. He's enjoying his power and celebrity status and will not let it go for anything. Half this country thinks that a-hole walks on water

Fauci is a piece of fricking shite....
Wish Jordan would have leaped over the desk and choked out that troll.

Fauci = exposed

Fauci NEVER provides any information that is interesting, helpful, or groundbreaking. I swear I don’t know why all the media idiots keep turning to him. It’s the same basic, boring stuff, over and over and over. A third grader could step in and take over.
BTW, Jordan is one bad dude, one of only a handful of Repubs I respect.

Dr. Fauci is the world's foremost expert on keeping Dr. Fauci in the news.

Why is Congress asking any questions about a free member of the press?

He is next on their list of people to be cancelled. They will find a way.

I truly wish Jordan would have walked over to that old bitch and just knocked her damn teeth down her throat.

Pfizer just announced everyone will need a 3rd shot 6 months after the 2nd.... and one every year thereafter..
Fauci having no incentive to recommend an end to the nonsense.....but seemingly wants it to continue as long as possible.. someone is obviously bought and paid for or worse.... responsible.
