These posts are laughably nuts. You people really don't understand how this works, do you?
It's the guy's job to advocate caution and mitigation in the face of infectious disease. It's his superiors' jobs to take his advice or leave it.
So say Fauci decides to retire at COB today. Who or what would you put in his place? What's your advice for mitigating a pandemic?
Is this the same man that allowed his employees at NIH to have vials of live smallpox in their closet ?
There are only 2 places in the world that can have live smallpox and the NIH closet in Maryland is not one of them.
I kind of want to defend him because I don't think it is his job to do anything but be a rabidly cautious person.
It is your elected leader's jobs to hear what he has to say and go "ok well thanks for you input but we aren't doing that".
The blame lies with your spineless elected officials.
Agree with this 100%. We shouldn't make health decisions based 100% on political opinions and we shouldn't make political decision based 100% on health opinions.
My biggest issue is that from day one, "flattening the curve" was the keyword but over a year into restrictions, our actions seem to be more along the lines of bringing new cases to zero - an unattainable goal.
We've had a year to come up with policy, documentation, etc. We should be focusing the attention on the most "at risk" so they can govern their lives accordingly all the while keeping in place some common sense measures. I still travel and I find it funny that while in ticketing, TSA, gate area, and boarding we have to maintain 6 foot distance, but when we're on the plane we're rubbing elbows. Makes zero sense but someone, somewhere said this is a good policy.
This is the same guy who said you could catch AIDS by sitting a tpilet seat a gay person sat on, yet he was heralded as a national hero by the same folks clamoring for a rushed vaccine.
As a nation, we haven't really been good at following his recommendations.... so we only have our selves to blame. We have no idea if his recommendations would have worked or not. He is just there to provide guidance.. no more no less.
We are like the child blaming the parent for getting hurt while ignoring the parent's warning anyways... Like the child, we are just scapegoating the parent for our own mistakes.

It's little things like that..and there are a lot of them, that should make you pause and question.
Kids in school have to sit apart and now encased with plexiglass yet they can sit next to each other on the school bus.
With unattainable goals though come perpetual rules which can never end.
Did they not have reading comprehension when you were in school?
Read the quote from the article again, and write a report on it ...
Quote:
Vaccinated people are protected against serious health problems from COVID-19 and we’ve known for a month that vaccinated people, if infected, shed dramatically less virus — perhaps 75 percent to 90 percent.

Don't wear a mask.
Wear a mask.
Everyone is following his recommendations because he said both things.

This 1000%
The guy is an overpaid charlatan and likely a Freemason to boot...
