Dr Anthony Fauci has warned of 'some pain and suffering in the future' as coronavirus cases continue to rise, but said that he does not see the need for new lockdowns. 'I don't think we're going to see lockdowns,' Fauci told Jonathan Karl of ABC's This Week on Sunday. 'I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country – not enough to crush the outbreak – but I believe enough to allow us to not get into the situation we were in last winter.' The nation's top infectious disease expert warned, however, that 'things are gonna get worse' and the number of COVID

Comments:

If the vaccines are as effective as Fauci says, why are the unvaccinated a problem to anyone but themselves and other unvaccinated?

Quite a different approach than Fauci took with AIDS but I suppose AIDS couldn't help the democrats cheat too steal elections, like the COVID response did and is gearing up to do again. If the greatest political fighter of at least a generation couldn't stop being cheated out of his own election, what's to stop a 2022 or 2024 repeat, absent the normal people deciding to act vigorously to preserve their own voting rights?

Seriously, when are things going to get worse for Dr. Fauci? He has been so, so wrong, for so, so long. He should be fired and likely prosecuted in the World Court in The Hague for crimes against humanity for supporting the virus research that brought the world the China virus.

They ought present data that masks do something rather than bloviating and shaming. Cause mask mandates in country after country did nothing to attenuate the climb of new cases based on real data. Studies that involved hundreds of millions. Follow the science.

If masks work so well, those who wear them are safe. We know they don't but obviously a large segment of the population think they do. I guess bribery, lotto's didn't do the trick, so now lets turn the country against each other. How much longer do we have to deal with this reprehensible, disgusting excuse of a man.

Because double jabbed folks are only lightly affected by the indian variant of wuhan flu, and the un jabbed have illnesses more like a flu season…the sane path forward is to encourage the unjabbed to get sick, and become naturally immune to wuhan and its future mutations. The insane to do is to take steps from prevent i-wuhan now…so that it becomes a threat in the fall.

How many times will the public accept Fauci's idiotic pronouncements before they start listening to REAL DOCTORS who have practiced medicine for years? If his meandering opinions were not so dangerous, we could all join together for a bid laugh. Fauci's self serving post-it notes to the rest of us have become so bizarre that I can't wait for the next one.

The United States suffered through two lethal waves of contagion in the past year and a half. The first was a viral pandemic that killed about one in 500 Americans—typically, a person over 75 suffering from other serious conditions. The second, and far more catastrophic, was a moral panic that swept the nation’s guiding institutions. Instead of keeping calm and carrying on, the American elite flouted the norms of governance, journalism, academic freedom—and, worst of all, science. They misled the public about the origins of the virus and the true risk that it posed.

DENVER  — As the delta variant continues to spread throughout the country, the World Health Organization is asking vaccinated people to still wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, however have not changed, allowing fully vaccinated people to go without a mask. In Denver-area hospitals, doctors tell FOX31 at least half of the unvaccinated COVID-19 patients are sick with the delta variant. The variant is significantly more contagious, and the symptoms patients feel are worse than from the original COVID-19 virus. Doctors continue to stress the message, that it’s the vaccines that will ultimately stop the spread. CORRECTION*

TOKYO — Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, was knocked out of the women’s 87+ kilogram competition early after failing on all three of her attempts. Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a “no lift.” She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.
