Fauci said we were getting close to herd immunity.
He didn't say that.
Not sure it matters when he recently admitted he was lying in stages about the percentages to encourage people to get vaccinated.
After that and his self-admitted lying in the masking debacle, I'm not sure why anyone still listens to him. Credibility is one of the most precious resources in public health, and our public health authorities including him have burned through a great deal of it.
- maxerickson 6y agoThey've since edited their comment to remove what they had said when I replied, which was How much worse do you think it could have been? Fauci said we were getting close to herd immunity. Do you think as many people would have dies again next year? 1 in 250 when finished? I don't understand why Fauci has made those choices and still find him plenty credible. And then, his credibility isn't really an issue when the supposed statement is a complete misunderstanding of the actual situation (we are nowhere near herd immunity via infection or vaccination).
- Throwawayaerlei 6y agoI don't understand why Fauci has made those choices and still find him plenty credible. So you don't understand why Fauci has chosen to lie twice about very important COVID-19 issues, later admitted to these lies, and still find him "plenty credible." How do you know if the next thing you hear out of his mouth is true or a conscious lie???
