Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to take credit for the development of the country’s COVID-19 vaccines — without ever mentioning the role of the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed campaign.
In a CNN special that aired Sunday, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said the “best decision” he made was fast-tracking efforts to produce a vaccine.
“When I saw what happened in New York City, almost overrunning of our health care system, it was like, ‘Oh my goodness,’ ” Fauci told CNN correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on “COVID WAR: The Pandemic Doctors Speak Out.”
“And that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January the 10th – to go all out and develop a vaccine – may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to an intervention as director of the institute.”
Meanwhile, National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins — who is Fauci’s boss — has said the Trump administration deserves credit for the speed with which the vaccines were developed.
“It’s just breathtaking that that got done in 11 months from when we first knew about this virus. It is at least five years faster than it has ever been done before,” he told Axios last month.
Aw, cut him a bit of slack. He’s 80 (a bit older than moi) and we older bean counters sometimes think we are responsible for everything.
HAHAHA
Lets see what he says about this three to six months from now when most of those who chose to get the vaccine are dead!
Just like Al Gore inventing the internet!
More like BEST investment he has ever made working with Gates… A SPecial place in Hell for both of them.
The guy has been wrong on everything so far now he’s trying to steal Trumps vaccine
Trump forced this idiot to do his job that he continually protested, since he was not getting credit for and allowing the SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS take credit.
Always said the FDA, Pharmaceutical companies and CDC were a scam draining the TAX PAYERS and Fauci and the SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS are proving it every day.
He should be removed from tax payer funded payroll and lose all benefits, since he is proving every day his grand scam of tax dollars.
Take Fauci on his actions & words when Trump was in office and let Fauci tell his slant on everything, Fauci was building Trump up as soon as Trump lost he was putting Trump down and blaming the math on Trump. So who do you think he’s going to dump when Fauci fails to make his case this time it will be Biden is all wrong. No one and I mean no one has been more wrong than Fauci remember HE Said we didn’t need masks now he’s trying to push 2 masks. This man is this generation’s DR PEPPER get it?
This is coming from the guy who was responsible for the funding of the research that created this disease. This is coming from the guy who said that Trumps travel ban was unnecessary. This is coming from the guy that talks out of both sides of his mouth and stands on both sides of the fence whenever it is convenient.
