Fauci: “Nothing stops. Or am I being obtuse?”
The nation’s highest paid federal employee issued a stern warning to all Americans on Monday, stating that the long-awaited vaccines against COVID-19 won’t alter the long-term necessity of masks, school closures, lockdowns, and social distancing measures.
Responding to a question from a reporter about the possibility of relaxing restrictions once a majority of Americans have been vaccinated against the coronavirus, Dr. Fauci replied “Nothing stops. Nothing! Or you will do the hardest time there is. No more protections from the Bill of Rights. I’ll pull you out of that one-bunk Hilton and cast you down with the New York nursing home residents. Wearing a mask is too onerous? I’ll make you wear three – and throw in a charcoal filter just for giggles.”
When asked about the prospect of again singing in church, Dr. Fauci replied “Churches? Gone. Sealed off brick by brick. We’ll have us a little hymnal barbecue in the yard. They’ll see the flames for miles. Elites will dance around it like wild Injuns, er, I mean like Native Americans. Do you understand me? Are you catching my drift? Or am I being obtuse?” Dr. Fauci then held up his Ph.D. and said “Put your trust in The Word. Your ass belongs to me.”
The press conference concluded with Dr. Fauci instructing President Biden to “Give ’em another year to think about it.”

Fantastic analogy @cliffordbrown!
Lord! It’s a miracle! Virus up and vanished like a fart in the wind!
Who? What?
Aside from the millions that died because of Fauci’s corruption, the saddest thing is the media fawning over this monster. Nobody in the media is willing to ask Fauci if he was sending funds to Wuhan for gain-of-function research on viruses. Did we outsource that research to China, because it was too dangerous to be done in the USA? This is the more important news story in the century and the media is fawning rather than asking questions. Sad!
Since when did you give up comedy and start reporting real news?
Oh, that was good. Very very good!
Um … uh …. @daviddeeble
Let’s hope Fauci gets exposed like Warden Norton in the end.
List most Fauci have dropped throughout the handling of covid-19
He first lost me when he praised Cuomo – anyone who paid attention knew by then his mis handling of Nursing homes
He then lost me when he refused to say when protests over the summer would spread the virus after wanting to shutdown the rest of us
finally, him pushing the 1.9 trillion Biden boondoggle when very little is addressing covid related programs shows me he is just another member of the permanent bureaucracy
The no the saddest part is how even the real conservative and libertarian politicians were fawning over him. We had no elected officials because of fear calling out his BS. Now yes but it was only after they tested the political winds of their side, did they change their song and pong dance.
Who the heck is this guy to be telling us anything? He’s not our dictator. Screw him and the bloated government corpse he rides in on.
It appears that he just says whatever anyone told him to say last. He’ll change this story in ten minutes too.
Remember those Plandemic, and Front Line Doctors video that everyone said were conspiracy theories, and so ridiculous that instead of laughing it off Big Tech stripped it from the internet? Those who watched and shared them aren’t surprised by how this is all playing out.
To carry the analogy further, do Big Tech, establishment Republicans, and the courts represent The Sisters, then?
Trump is out of office. Once we just pay teachers not to work all will be well.
First, the OP placed in quotes his interpretation of what Fauci meant. He probably shouldn’t have done that.
After stating that CDC restrictions should remain in place, Fauci also said, “We hope that when the data comes in, it’s going to show that the virus level is quite low and you’re not transmitting it,” Fauci said, cautioning: “We don’t know that now. And for that reason, we want to make sure that people continue to wear masks despite the fact that they’re vaccinated.”
I agree with Ben Shapiro. Once we’re vaccinated, we’re done with all of it, and if you want someone to get the vaccination, then that’s going to be a part of the deal. Right now, about a third of Americans aren’t inclined to take the vaccinations.
I’m no apologist for Anthony Fauci. I think he’s been too clever by half, and he won’t stay in his lane. For example, on January 21st, the first full day of the Biden Administration, he spoke at a WHO event announcing the U.S. Government’s change of policy on abortion funding overseas. So here he remains the COVID spokesman for the U.S. Government, and he involves himself in politics not related to COVID or epidemiology, and more importantly it needlessly makes him more partisan.
So why did he do that? Scott Adams today in his podcast, stated that he has no problem with Fauci being the “bad cop”, and he doubted that there will be a mask mandate much longer. But the phrase, “bad cop, good cop” refers to an interrogation technique which is a form of — usually obvious — manipulation. So going by that theory, it means we’re continuing to be manipulated, as we have from the beginning and Fauci has been a big part of that.
Remember the flip flop on masks and his explanation to the New York Times on why? The result is he’s treated with suspicion and rightfully so. These types of shenanigans have a cost.
But if you’re going to quote him, then get it right. If you want to interpret what he said, then leave the quotes out.
You terrify me with your comedy which is barely one notch from real life.
😳
Oh, and fauci is the new F word.
Who will teach the next generation to put a condom on a banana?
