St Fauci is publicly shaming people for attending the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally but he said nothing about Obama's massive birthday or the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.
Gee, I wonder why?
Social media users piled on to Dr. Anthony Fauci for what many felt was a double standard when it comes to what type of gatherings he criticizes.
"No comment from St. Fauci on Obama’s soirée last night with a few hundred of his closest friends - or how about Lollapalooza last week in Chicago," one social media user said in reaction to Fauci's comments critical of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. "Or, I guess it’s SELECTIVE festivities, because the virus knows, and only attacks those who fit the Dems’ narrative."
The remarks came in response to Fauci's comments expressing concern about South Dakota's upcoming Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on Sunday's "Meet the Press," with host Chuck Todd speculating the rally could become a "super spreader" event.
"I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.
Fauci admitted that it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," though he called on rallygoers to consider their impact on the spread of COVID-19.
"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci said.
But many social media users pointed out that Fauci did not share the same type of concerns when it came to other high-profile events.
"I have come to loathe Fauci. I cannot believe I fell for this fraud for even a minute," one user said. "Lollapalooza: Nothing. Obama birthday party: Nothing. Riding a motorcycle in the free air: SATAN'S DEVIL VIRUS WILL GET YA!"
Speaking of Fauci, the czar of the pandemic also says as soon as the Federal government decides the vaccines are safe, you're going to be required to get one.
This guy has been wrong more than he's been right but here he goes running his mouth again.
As soon as the Food and Drug Administration issues a full approval for a COVID-19 vaccine, there will be "a flood" of vaccine mandates at businesses and schools across the nation, Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA TODAY's Editorial Board on Friday.
Mandates aren't going to happen at the federal level, but vaccine approval will embolden many groups, he predicted.
"Organizations, enterprises, universities, colleges that have been reluctant to mandate at the local level will feel much more confident," he said.
"They can say: 'If you want to come to this college or this university, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this plant, you have to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this enterprise, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this hospital, you've got to get vaccinated.'"
Fauci said he doesn't see more lockdowns coming. They were issued early in the pandemic to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, known as "flattening the curve."
