Fauci vs. Fauci : A Pandemic Of Contradictions | Headline USA
The end of the year marks a great time to reflect on many aspects of life. It is also an appropriate time to take a look back and see how far we have come in the fight against COVID-19. More than a year after the vaccine was rolled out, new cases of COVID-19 in the […]

What are we getting for the money? Listen to him speak for himself.
Fauci told Newsmax. on Jan. 21, 2020, “This ‘COVID-19’ is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States should be worried about right now.” A little over a month later, the NBA indefinitely suspended all basketball games due to COVID outbreaks and the nation was beginning to shut down.
On 60 Minutes in March 2020, Fauci said, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.” He said, “masks sold at drugstores aren’t even good enough to truly protect anyone.”
On the Today Show in January 2021, Fauci told Americans to wear two masks.
“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on,” he flipped-flopped, “it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.”
Business Insider reported on April 1, 2020, that Fauci said it will take 12 to 18 months to get a coronavirus vaccine in the US and experts said a quick approval could be risky. Eight months later, according to ABC News, Fauci received his first dose of vaccine and said he was extremely confident it’s safe and effective.
In a 2020 video on CSPAN from George Washington University Fauci said, “You don’t want to mandate and try and force anyone to take a vaccine. We’ve never done that. It would be unenforceable and not appropriate.”
People Magazine reported in December 2021, that Fauci recommended vaccine mandates for domestic air travel.
“When you make vaccinations a requirement,” he said, “that’s another incentive to get more people vaccinated.”
On Nov. 21, 2021, CNN reported that Fauci said fully vaccinated people could celebrate the holidays without masks. Less than a month later, Fauci scolded no hugging and kissing or wishing people a Happy New Year.
“If your plans are to go to a 40- to 50-person New Year’s Eve party with all the bells and whistles and everybody’s hugging and kissing and wishing each other a happy new year,” he said, “I would strongly recommend that this year we do not do that.”
