Fauci: ‘No doubt’ Trump will face surprise infectious disease outbreak

Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said there is “no doubt” Donald J. Trump will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency.

Fauci has led the NIAID for more than 3 decades, advising the past five United States presidents on global health threats from the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s through to the current Zika virus outbreak.

During a forum on pandemic preparedness at Georgetown University, Fauci said the Trump administration will not only be challenged by ongoing global health threats such as influenza and HIV, but also a surprise disease outbreak.

“The history of the last 32 years that I have been the director of the NIAID will tell the next administration that there is no doubt they will be faced with the challenges their predecessors were faced with,” he said.

While observers have speculated since his election about how Trump will respond to such challenges, Fauci and other health experts said Tuesday that preventing disease pandemics often starts overseas and that a proper response means collaboration between not only the U.S. and other countries, but also the public and private health sectors.

“We will definitely get surprised in the next few years,” he said.

Dr.Faucci made this statement and "predicted" the global pandemic in December 2017. So how did he know? He knew all along and he has his patented "Vaccine" ready to be implemented on general public. Plan-Demic is going according to his plan
Stepb1) Outbreak
Step 2) Quarantine Shutdown
Step 3);Flattening of the Curve
Step 4) 2nd Wave
Step 5) Mandatory Vaccinations by Big Pharma using Faucci Vaccine and Faucci getting Crazy Rich

What a complete farse Fauci is! How do they keep getting away with all of the shi#? At 62 years of age my concept of the Freedom of America has gone down the tubes. Politicians need to only serve a 2 year term and get the hel7 out.

Guys like Fauci have completely lost touch with average Americans.If he was on our side of the fence he'd be raising heck.

The answer lies in the Presidents tolerance for him. Fauci is a 5'2 fatalist that needs to be put on ice and speak when spoken to. He has developed a politician's complex of supreme authority over the masses and needs to be removed from the grasp of the news media so as to stop spreading hysteria amongst people that can be led towards Democratic agendas. Trump should advise him if the mouth isn't harnessed he'll be old news. Sooner the better.

Sounds like he knows something we don't. Just like the last time he made that comment.
