Timeline: Dr. Anthony Fauci Repeatedly Downplayed Coronavirus Threat

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has not always shared the opinions he gave to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, when he insisted President Donald Trump ignored mitigation efforts and could have saved lives.

“I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives,” Fauci said on State of the Union when asked if social distancing and stay-at-home measures could have prevented deaths if they had been implemented earlier.

“Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those decisions is complicated,” Fauci added.

In contrast to his previous remarks, Fauci has a history of downplaying the severity of the coronavirus and insisting that the American people did not need to drastically alter their lifestyles earlier this year.

January 21, 2020: Fauci claimed the coronavirus was “not a major threat to the people of the United States.”

So, the party propaganda starts to permeate.... shift the focus on the failure of the Dear Leader away from the Dear Leader and drop it onto a scapegoat. Flame the scapegoat, fire the scapegoat... the mouth breathing masses are sated and the Dear Leader escapes justice yet once again.

He has you all so played. This is a text book play, and just another way this madman escapes justice.

Jesus Wept.

From the administration that brought you "I believe Putin more than my own intelligence officials" and "We have corona under control, it was one person on a plane from China and we have him". Don't forget "Someone in my family went to MIT so I am basically a scientist". Give me a break. Anyone with a brain knows that Trump is the one who fudged this response and it will be reflected come election time. We know, we know, you all support Trump over the well being of your own country. Thanks to your guy "winning" so much we have the biggest economic deep since the Great Depression along with the highest EVER national debt before the pandemic even hit! SO MUCH WINNING

Really? You got evidence to back that up?

Because from what I can see Dr. Fauci is an American physician and immunologist who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on infectious diseases, and has has served American public health in various capacities for over 50 years, and has been an adviser to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan. He is also a leading member of Donald Trumps own Coronavirus task force.

This is all verifiable fact.

I should doubt all of this because of your nutty unsupported unsubstantiated tin foil hat conspiracy theory? Stop spreading bad information, it only serves to poison the well.

Dont expect them to come up with anything on their own. They have to watch Trump on fox news before they know what to think for themselves
