Possibly. Why didn't that happen?

I'm not sure. You would need to ask Fauci.

Oh yeah I forget, the liberal media is suppressing the real Covid facts.
He has plenty of detractors in the science and medical community. They're all being censored and deplatformed however.

If only we had listened to Trump instead when he said it would be over in weeks!

A lot of us thought that once the vaccines were available, that the pandemic would gradually come to an end. We overestimated the intelligence of the American public and underestimated their stubbornness with respect to refusing vaccination.
you're overestimating how good the vaccines are.

i don't think I know 1/10th of 1 percent of what fauci actually knows about medicine.
The problem is he has no credibility left.
He has admitted to lying multiple times, flop flopped and who knows what else he's lying about.
I don't think he's stupid- i think he's a corrupt politician.
I want to be able to believe him but I can't.

Fauci has nothing to do with it. The drug was approved by FDA. Any doctor can prescribe it.

A lot of people on this site have been talking about "Fauci lies", but I have not been able to find out what he supposedly lied about. The one thing I did read was that he and Rand Paul had a heated argument in which Paul accused Fauci of funding "gain-of-function" research in China, and Fauci claims that the funding did not support that type of research. It seems like a he said / he said deal; no consensus on who is correct.

I know he has revised his estimate over what percentage of population is required for herd immunity, but the fact is no one really knows what that threshold might be for a new virus. So he was making a guess and revising as new info became available.

If you can post an example of him admitting to lying, I would be interested.
