After DC elites’ Covid-filled event, Fauci finally grants you freedom to decide your ‘individual risk’

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci has kept a relatively low profile lately with the White House seriously dialing down its hysteria-drenched rhetoric about COVID, likely fearing voter retaliation for lockdowns and mandates in the critical midterm elections, but he resurfaced with yet another one of his decrees on the persistent virus.

The longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the agency that he has headed up since President Ronald Reagan’s first term in office joined host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week” where he went against his standard fearmongering, proclaiming that it is now up to Americans to decide what their “individual risk” is in terms of taking preventative action to avoid contracting the coronavirus.

During the conversation, Karl brought up the recent “spike” in positive COVID cases among the Washington, D.C. political class, notably Democrats who somehow managed to navigate the highly infectious first wave but who have been diagnosed positive in increasing numbers.

Karl set the table for Fauci by bringing up the annual Gridiron Club soiree, an event where it has been reported that 67 attendees have tested positive for COVID.

“Well, let me ask you about the spike we’ve seen right here in Washington, you and I were both at the Gridiron Dinner, this is a dinner that had about 600 or so attendees, so far I believe we’re at 67 people that have tested positive who were at the dinner,” he said.

“I’m told at least so far no indication of anybody seriously ill, but, you know, about 10 percent of those infected… what is the lesson here?” he asked. “Should we not be holding events like this or to the point we just talked about, is it time to accept that we can have an event like this but there’s going to be a risk, some people will test positive, if everybody is vaccinated, you know, it won’t necessarily be that serious?”

“I think it gets back to what we were discussing just a moment ago, Jon,” replied Fauci. “It’s going to be a person’s decision about the individual risk they’re going to take. I think the people who run functions, who run big dinners, who run functions like the White House Correspondents’ ball or thinking back, the Gridiron Dinner, are going to have to make a determination looking at the CDC guidelines and seeing where the trends are, I mean, there are some places you go, not only is it required that you show proof of vaccination, but you have to have a negative test the day you go to a particular place.

Fauci continued, “And I know a lot of social functions throughout Washington and in New York are doing the same thing, and it’s up to the individual to determine what their level of risk. We don’t want to pooh-pooh getting infected. I think people sometimes say, well, it’s okay to get infected.”

“No, it’s not,” the elfin career bureaucrat added, “because there are things like long COVID and there are sometimes people even though they don’t require hospitalization, Jon, they get significantly ill, they may be at home, they may require a doctor consultation, but they don’t get hospitalized, that’s not something to pooh-pooh.”

“Again, each individual will have to take their own determination of risk.” Fauci proclaimed.

However, the tiresome public face of the coronavirus for the last two years. like much of the political left in America, isn’t about to surrender the face diapers that have become a symbol of the Biden regime.

Dr. Fauci’s latest decree was met with a blistering response on Twitter.

Fauci has certainly changed his tune on large gatherings since last year when President Joe Biden’s top medical advisor predicted doom and pestilence when football fans packed college stadiums last fall. But if there is one thing consistent about the elfin demigod at the center of the leftist COVID cult, it’s his flip-flopping.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s call to invade neighboring Ukraine was a fortuitously timed gift to Biden who was able to move beyond the virus that he pledged to beat during his campaign only to fail massively and while Democrats are hoping that voters will forget the hellish past two years, Fauci has a personal stake in keeping it alive.

  2. NO ONE should pay any greed to Fauci. He is a gubment mouthpiece and SWAMP SCUM. His comments show a total disregard for science. This is about control, suppression, repression, and submission.

  3. I guess being the egotistical dictator has grown very tiresome to the anointed one.

  4. We know that the polio vaccine and the smallpox vaccine were true vaccines because polio and smallpox were ended in the US. Millions of people are still testing positive for covid after getting vaxxed and boosted. The common cold and the seasonal flu are viruses and if getting a PCR covid test with either of those conditions you will probably test positive for covid. Our government doesn’t want to let it go since the mid-terms are just around the corner.

  5. The Fauch must have stock in vaccines and testing. If these tools are so effective, then why don’t they work?

  8. I will be glad when he joins the rank of those that are arrested, tried, convicted, and executed for his treasonous acts.

  9. My thought is who really cares what Fauci’s opinion is because none of what he has to say in based on science or data. This is just Fauci trying to keep this alive so he can reap the benefits from Big Pharma. I never believed him in the first place and never got the shot or wore the mask and I’m 73 years old and got the virus but my immune system fought it off just as it has done for 73 years. Oh by the way I have gotten the flu a couple of times in my 73 years.

    BPR, please fix your new system as I’m really tired of having Tommy’s Garage keep popping up 7 times while typing this comment. Every time you type the letter (F).

    Semper Fi 1969-1989

    1. BPR needs to get on the ball and get this fixed once and for all. I’m losing my patience. I’m a gnats ass away from dropping them.

  11. Fauci says this now but, just wait till we get closer to the midterms. I’ll bet that by the 1st of Sept., he’ll be singing a different tune and lockdowns will begin again as a “new” strain will be attacking us from all sides and Fauci and every democrat will say that it’s far worse than anything we’ve encountered yet!

        1. Absolutely. Just prior to Trump being sworn in as President, Fauci said “there will be a major disease outbreak during the Trump Admin.” The question is, How did he know that?

  12. I don’t know, but I think we all have to keep an eye on the ball, because I don’t trust him.
    Something doesn’t smell right, and this could be a set up for the demonrats… Geeeese I am starting to sound paranoid ain’t I? But what do you expect after everything that has happened the last 2 years.

    1. It’s not paranoia. It’s reality. Always remember, the democrapers will do ANYTHING to stay in power.

  13. “… proclaiming that it is now up to Americans to decide what their “individual risk” is in terms of taking preventative action…”

    Been doing that since this started.

  14. Faucci any more lab leaks lately? How much is the highest paid government employee paid again? How many times has Faucci been wrong, again?

  15. WHEN is this LYING FRAUD finally going to realize that people DON’T CARE what he has to say ? He HAS to go…..the sooner the better !

    1. He already knows that we have had enough of his lies. The problem remains as it always has. The democrats don’t give a dam (sp on purpose) about what we care. If you vote for anything but democrat, you don’t exist!

  16. Oh isnt that gracious of him! The King of diseases speaks another command. He must be King because he rules the disease. Or so he thinks. Guess what Faux Fauci. Ive done what Idamn well pleased all along. Not like your northern guppies.

  17. It’s vaccinated who have covid (which I don’t believe). I think Fauci and the Demoncrats are trying to fearmonger again because of elections coming up and wants to lock down Americans again. Americans, those who are true Americans, have learned that the party of hate, the Demoncrats are not true Americans and will do anything to destroy this country. Americans have had enough. Let me just point out that we did have the Monoclonal IV therapy but the illegal in the WH stopped it, why you ask because it worked! Anything that works for this country, this administration stops it or bars it just like ivermectin was banned!

    1. Bingo!
      Scare the people ,lock down ,steal ,cheat the votes for Aholes
      81,000,000 votes again .

    3. If they want to lock us down again and start the mandates we as a country must say NO. What are they going to do, lock everyone up and shut down every business? We need to stand up to them. Period. No ifs, ands or buts.
