The nation's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, described the challenges of working with the Trump administration during the coronavirus pandemic in an interview with journal Science published Sunday.
Asked how he responds to falsehoods from the President during press conferences, Fauci said, "I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down," according to the interview.
"OK, he said it. Let's try and get it corrected for the next time," Fauci said.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci has advised six presidents and has played a central role in the White House's Coronavirus Task Force.
"I'm sort of exhausted," Fauci said in the interview.
Hillary-loving Fauci needs to be sent to a Very Important fact finding mission Of Critical Importance to Ice Station Zebra to determine why the location has reported no cases of the Wuhan Virus.

If he’s exhausted, President Trump should help him make a decision to retire, now!

Fauci was on Fox last evening, and said that DJT listens carefully, asks lots of questions, accepts Fauci's recommendations.
I didn't hear him say one negative thing about the President.

Fauci is a weasel and a face for the deep State just like Meuller. He is the reason we are overreacting to this whole China bug. The Democrats have found the golden egg in trashing the economy prior to the election..
The regular flu to date has taken 13,000 American lives this season out of the 38,000,000 cases. The China bug has yet to infect 1,000,000 world wide with only 300 deaths in the US.
Go away Dr Fauci. Your 15 minutes are up.
Get Back to Work America!

Whoa.
I would hate to be Fauci when Trump finally sets his sites on the man. This will not end well for him.
Even if Fauci doesn't like Trump, Fauci is not behaving like a professional..

I agree with #4. I watched a long interview with Fauci by Mark Levin last night. He was nothing but complimentary to the President and the process of managing this mess.

Dr. Fauci was on the FNC Mark Levin program last evening and he did not talk like that about President Trump. Chances are CNN misrepresented Fauci’s comments to attack Trump and create controversy. To the contrary, while on the Levin program Fauci said that anytime he explained the scientific aspects of a problem related to the corona virus pandemic to Trump, that Trump went along with him 100% of the time.
Fauci is a DC career “Deep State Super Bureaucrat” and in that position is highly likely to politically support the political party of big government, the Democrats, who always give the DC Super Bureaucrats increasing amounts of money to keep expanding their bureaucratic ivory tower federal agencies.

One hopes Dr Fauci isn’t the height challenged version of James Comey, beloved by the DNC press while undermining the President whenever possible. If Fauci and his Democrat dominated NIH keep denying that the malaria drug combined with the antibiotic arithromycin hasn’t had a controlled test after 3 months of tracking the disease we’ll know that the good doctor is a party loyalist first, a physician second and a public servant last.
How much more time does the NIH and FDA need to approve the use of these two long approved medications?

Ok, Dr. Fauci, FIX THIS:
#1. "Who dat?" See Sundance's twitter feed with picture of Fauci with Hillary (and her long hair) and others clapping and laughing.
#2. Undying love and devotion letters from Dr. Fauci about Hillary; See letter on Sundance's TheLastRefuge2 twitter feed

One explanation could be that Dr. Faucci, for all his good points in this crisis, is still a two-faced weasel who will say one thing to your face (Pres. Trump and Mark Levin) and another thing behind your back (Science magazine).
I long ago learned that the least trustworthy people are those who do that. The guy who says he's going to screw you and shoot down everything you want is the most honest person you'll ever deal with. Because you know you'd better be on guard 100%.

Re his Levin interview, is it possible that Fauci may have decided (or been told) the he’d gone too far with his mockery (the “facepalm”) and remarks like this one to CNN, and that it was time to pivot before he found himself out of a job or at least the object of the President’s wrath?
I believe Fauci is capable of being two-faced as suits his purposes. Whether he succeeds with that is up to the President and those watching him who have discerning minds.

I'd rather Trump listen to his economic advisers rather than Fauci. The government's response to the corona virus cannot be sustained economically. Thousands of businesses have been shutdown, and millions of people are out of work. We need to get these people back to work before these jobs are gone.

Good grief! Some still believe what CNN reports before they believe a doctor who has worked for every president since Reagan? Is it because some heard he praised Hillary? So what? I’m sure Trump praised Hillary back when she and Slick Willie went to his wedding. I just want to hear from knowledgeable people during these times.

Fauci is every bit the devious, deceitful, distrustful snake that all the other posters say he is.
That's why I think this is FAKE NEWS by CNN.
Fauci is too smart of a snake to say this directly to the dishonest CNN. He would recognize that CNN would trumpet this to the world and Trump would have no choice but to thwack Fauci.

So who jumps in front of the microphone and push Fauci down when HE says something false (which he has)? So far the Trump administration has exercised great restraint in not publicly humiliating Fauci. But I suspect it will come, especially if he keeps unfiltering his opinions on CNN....
"It's not unreasonable to make the assumption" that cases will die down come spring, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NPR. "We hope when the weather gets warmer it will diminish a bit," he says.

The doctor was interviewed by the journal Science. CNN paraphrases the question that was asked and purportedly quotes the doctor's response. So a game of telephone with two entities that I don't have much confidence in. Can we see the video or hear the audio tape of the interview? Given the doctors cautious phrasing I doubt he would respond to a question that essentially accused the President of deliberate falsehoods in the fashion presented by CNN.
I doubt he has a MAGA hat but given the discrepancies I have witnessed between CNN reporting and hearing/seeing the actual event I suspect neither the question or the answer are honestly reported. However, firing most of the federal bureaucracy is fine with me, starting with the person who did not restock the federal stockpile of N95 masks after the 2009 H1N1 outbreak depleted the supply.

Career DC Deep State Super Bureaucrats believe they are in office to slow things down until they render approval of any issue that the US Government becomes involved in, through a process that has been commonly called "Red Tape", so it is not out of the ordinary that Dr. Fauci would believe that President Trump should not jump ahead and offer people dying of the corona virus the chance to be voluntarily administered off label generally safe drugs that were not yet approved by the Super Bureaucrats after long inter-agency testing and approval process for that specific purpose..
President Trump, a businessman who gets things done fast does not think that way, as Trump considers that off label compassionate use of such drugs by dying patients should take place, if the patient agrees, because what does the patient have to loose, if him or her will definitely die if the drug is not administered.
Fauci while talking about Trump's thinking, has said that Trump is all about giving dying people hope, while he (Fauci) is all about science. So it is natural that at times Fauci and Trump would not agree. There is nothing sinister about all that, accept that such disagreements serve as a basis for the politicized so-called 24/7 mainstream (liberal) media that is really the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party the opportunity to create controversial and sensational misleading news.

What the lying sack of man ewer Fauci is not telling the American people, is that the drug Chloroquine has been in use for over FIFTY years, it is considered very safe already, it is av available in every country, and it is perfectly legal for your doctor to prescribe it off-label TODAY to save your life. All you have to do is ask. The only possible thing Fauci's advice can do, is hurt people. There are now several human trials under way for effectiveness. Some have already completed. The reports are phenomenal results. Remember, coronovirus (the communist or socialist virus, if you can't say Chinese) doesn't just kill you or not kill you. It can destroy the lungs of people who do recover, including your children. We are not going to sacrifice two million American lives while this little paper pusher defends his little fiefdom. I think he needs a seven year sabbatical starting last week. But even the Chinese probably don't want him.

#14 - the FDA doesn't need to approve chloroquine. It is already approved and has been in use for over fifty years. Your doctor can prescribe it TODAY. That means he is using his best judgment to apply the drug for a use that has not been investigated by the FDA. Docotors are allowed to do this by law.
Z-Pac is arithromiacin, a widely used antibiotic. Antibiotics are not normally used against viruses, but may fight bacterial infections that take advantage of your weakened state. Zithromax is also known for its ability to kill senescent cells, ones that have gotten old and weak and are scheduled by the body for eventual destruction.
Despite all the fussing and pontificating on TV, you can get this drug now if you can find a doctor who will do it. The FDA 'blessing' might sway the doctors to be more willing to do so. Please don't get the medicine until you have real symptoms or there won't be enough of it.
If your doctor won't prescribe it, you can fire him or her or they, and find another. Your body is your property. It doesn't belong to anyone else, even the FDA.
