1. Fauci fell into the trap CNN set for him, and today, clarified.
Trump did an amazingly competent job in responding to the Chinese Virus, especially when one considers the six months and 1,000 American deaths before Obama declaring an H1N1 health emergency.
But.....the curs at CNN asked just the right questions so that they could quote Fauci out of context to blame Trump.
2. “Coronavirus is not a major threat for the people in the United States, and this is not something the citizens should be worried about,” Dr. Anthony Fauci January 21st. Five days later on a podcast with the New York grocery store magnate, John Catsimatidis…. January 26: “The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. Very, very low risk for the United States.” Dr. Fauci five days later, after saying coronavirus was “not a major threat for the people, not something citizens should be worried about,” he said, “It isn’t something the American people need to worry about or frightened by this.”
3. March 9th, and it’s Forbes. Dr. Fauci: “If you are a healthy young person, there’s no reason. If you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship.” Remember the Song of Princess or the Virus Princess, whatever, docked or offshore in Japan where everybody on it had the virus? When was that? This Dr. Fauci in a story March 9th, Forbes:
“If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason. If you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship.”
4. Dr. Fauci yesterday on CNN: “If Trump had listened to our recommendations, we could have saved lives.” Dr. Fauci’s recommendations — I’m sorry — were to ignore the coronavirus. Dr. Fauci’s recommendations on January 21st and 25th (summarized): “It’s not something the citizens should be worried about. It’s not something citizens should be frightened by. It’s very, very low risk.”
Here’s audio sound bite ...CNN State of the Union, Jake Tapper talking to Dr. Fauci, said, “The New York Times reported [in their bogus hit job yesterday] that you and other top Trump officials wanted to recommend social and physical distancing guidelines to President Trump as far back as the third week of February. The administration didn’t announce such guidelines until March 16th, almost a month later. Why?”
FAUCI: We look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often the recommendation is taken. Sometimes it’s not. But it is what it is. We are where we are right now.
TAPPER: Do you think lives could have been saved, uhh, if social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures had started third week of February instead of mid-March?
FAUCI: Obviously you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is gonna deny that. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then."

6. "White House health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday walked back his recent comments about the initial U.S. response to the coronavirus, saying he used “the wrong choice of words” a day earlier when describing “pushback about shutting things down.”
Fauci’s comments from a CNN interview Sunday – in which he said that more lives “obviously” could have been saved if the U.S. made earlier efforts to contain the virus – were seen by some as a critique of the Trump administration’s handling of the crisis. "
