22. Since he has been silenced
Wed Jul 15, 2020, 12:11 PM
Jul 2020

During press conferences and in fact went to one and was asked to leave, the science community and CDC have found new venues to get the word out. He spoke at Georgetown University yesterday and had some interesting things to say.

Concerning the possible new vaccine, he pointed out that even if we would be lucky enough to have a vaccine that had a 70% to 75% accuracy rate, even with all of the herd immunity we have now, we would still have cases of the Coronavirus. For some reason it has totally slipped my mind that even the influenza vaccine is 50% or lower some years because it is a different strain that goes around that specific year.

The White House is now distancing themselves for nasty remarks made about him yesterday, but I don't believe them for a bit. Someone was trying to make brownie points and had things worked out well, the White House would take full credit for it.

A that point in time Fauci was correct. It was proven to him that the masks could be a deterrent. LiberalArkie Jul 2020 #12
I disagree. The statement about masks was made when we were all seeking N95s. Chemisse Jul 2020 #13
