Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Democrat-approved ‘science’ in ‘trust the science,’ appears to have just admitted to lying about COVID-19 herd immunity in order to goad more people into taking the vaccine, according to a new report in the New York Times.
At issue is the percentage of the population which must require resistance to the coronavirus – through infection or vaccination – in order for the disease to disappear.
Early into the pandemic, Fauci repeatedly claimed ‘60-70%‘ herd immunity was required to achieve herd immunity. Beginning around a month ago, however, Fauci’s estimate drifted higher – to “70, 75 percent,” and more recently telling CNBC “75, 80, 85 percent” and “75 to 80-plus percent.”
When asked about it, Fauci essentially said he lied for political purposes due to vaccine skeptics.
In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.
Hard as it may be to hear, he said, he believes that it may take close to 90 percent immunity to bring the virus to a halt — almost as much as is needed to stop a measles outbreak.
Asked about Dr. Fauci’s conclusions, prominent epidemiologists said that he might be proven right. The early range of 60 to 70 percent was almost undoubtedly too low, they said, and the virus is becoming more transmissible, so it will take greater herd immunity to stop it.
Dr. Fauci said that weeks ago, he had hesitated to publicly raise his estimate because many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines, which they would need to accept almost universally in order for the country to achieve herd immunity.
And with polls now suggesting more Americans are willing to take the vaccines, Fauci (who said in November COVID-19 ‘won’t be a pandemic for much longer‘) says he’s ready to come clean.
“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” he said, adding “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”
“We need to have some humility here,” Fauci then said. “We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent,” because doing so might discourage Americans.
The Times’ Ross Douthat called Fauci out for shifting the goalposts.
When you can't just "trust the science" because the scientists keep lying to you and then saying, "oh, that was just a noble lie, sorry about that."https://t.co/2SKAiGiBto pic.twitter.com/hl06rjM7tA

Will Democrats give Fauci equal treatment to Trump, who was viciously attacked by the left for downplaying the virus during its early days in order to prevent a panic?

Time for Viking shit….
There was an episode of “Bones” in which that was done to someone (after death) as a Viking honor. I don’t remember the name but I think the word EAGLE was in it somewhere. Plenty of wonderful and creative things that even the American colonists used to do to tax collectors and other wonderful toadies of King George.
Tar and feathers…..and then set alight which is usually left out……sort of the equivalent of necklacing in South Africa. Breaking on the wheel is another good one.
Blood Eagle. Episode of Vikings on fakeHistory channel had that as well.
Nooses attract the FBI. Guillotines are making a comeback.
We would have had herd immunity (and probably already do if they stopped massively jumping the number of cycles on the PCR test, it should be at 30 MAXIMUM) if this had just been allowed to run its course like every other freakin year since forever.
Why is this virus enough to stop the world to save “just one life” when no one gave a rat’s ass before?
Well, before it wasn’t politically expedient to do so, nor were so many people distrustful of the government and the media.
If anyone thinks for a hot fucking minute that those in charge care about you, your family, your granny, or anyone else besides themselves and their power and wallets, then I have a bridge for sale you might want to buy.
It has NEVER been about public health and safety. Not for one nanosecond. It has always been about power, control, limiting freedom, subjugating people, and getting President Trump out of power. Period. Anyone who thinks this isn’t the case is either not paying attention, stupid, or part of the plan.
Correct. Anyone one who does not understand that just does not have an adequate intellect.
Nobody gives a shit about all the lives the lockdowns have cost (well, we do, but you know who I mean).
Biden’s gonna fix it-he said so.
Fix it with more restrictions, a mask mandate, and more fines that kill and bankrupt even more working class people than before.
So the NYT just now realized Fauci is an evil, bought-and-paid-for lying fuck? No wonder the Times is a paper ‘no self-respecting fish would get wrapped in” (Mike Royko).
Fauci has told so many lies, nobody can keep up with them.
i do not, nor would i ever, believe a goddamn thing that comes out of that guys mouth. idgaf where he went to college, idgaf what kind of and how many degrees he has and idgaf how many board certifications or peer reviewed papers he has written. fuck that asshole.
The beauty about being truthful and speaking the truth, is you never have to backtrack and manipulate your version of the facts. Truth always stands firm and endures the test of time requiring no modification to it’s validity. Something Fauci and his fellow plandemic proponents will probably never understand. Their evil agenda is riddled with lies and half truths.
Interesting video from Canada regarding Ontario’s upcoming vaccination card. Most interesting are the comments. NOT ONE is in support of the government and nearly 100% are in support of peaceful resistance or violent uprising. Very reassuring.
Holy Shit!
A Merry Totalitarian Holiday to all the sheep in formerly Yours To Discover -Ontario.
( Coming attractions for the remainder of the former British Empire? )
Be sure to go to Youtube to read the comments. They are at least inspirational, even if the video is depressing.
That a person like Fauci can hold the position he has and have a fawning media in his pocket says all you need to know about the depths of corruption and evil that exists in the system we’re forced to live under.
He may not answer for his crimes in this world but he most certainly will in the next.
In a way the bastard reminds of J. Edgar-‘served’ under numerous presidents and should have been forced out a couple decades ago.
Canadians will bend over and take it, they always do.
They are all liars, every last one of them. Now put your mask on and bend over.
Fraudci has been caught lying repeatedly since this shit started. He is a fucken goldbricker. That little weasel is a false idol and must be burned.
