Fauci: “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society. For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate.”

So when is it “safe”? Does this guy not realize that these places are open in some states? That there is no proof of any outbreaks tied to them?

At this point it's about controlling the masses.

Looks like this was cut to leave part of it out. Maybe he's saying you can't do those things without a mask, maybe something else? We won't know because the quote is snipped at the beginning.

What I DO KNOW is that earlier this week, he was on TV talking about how it's likely we'll be able to go to concerts, sporting events and other large gatherings later this year. So I doubt this is what you are making it out to be.

And as already pointed out, he's just one expert with an opinion. His opinion should carry a lot of weight, but should not be, and is not considered to be the basis of undebatable laws. He gives the medical side. Law makers have to weigh that with many other things (economy, education, mental health, etc.). He's doing his job, give him a break, or at least stop editing his words to make a fake point.

Me too, as will most, if not ALL people. But I'll listen to him, to many others, and I'll do what I want from an informed position. I don't take everything he says as gospel, but I do listen and think for myself. (I go out to restaurants 2-3x per week, for example. One of many)

I commend you for being a rational person and for being more forgiving than I. Logically I should listen to him as he's the expert, but he's already lied too many times, I just can't do it.

I would like you to cite an example of his lying, lying as in telling an known untruth to the public.

Yeah, he told “an known untruth”. Even admits it.

Fauci was asked yesterday by financial news outlet The Street why the U.S. government didn’t promote masks early on during the pandemic. Fauci, who sits on the Trump regime’s zombie-like coronavirus task force, hinted that he knew masks worked, he just wanted any available masks to be saved for health care workers.

“Well, the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N-95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply,” Fauci said. “And we wanted to make sure that the people, namely the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected.”

So Fauci told an untruth early in the pandemic, an untruth spoken for the safety and welfare of the health workers. That's it? Okay, you got me. For some reason I was thinking of a lie spoken so he could retain power, or to screw us over, or some other negative motive.
