The White House Made a List of All the Times Fauci 'Has Been Wrong' on the Coronavirus

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House has undertaken behind-the-scenes efforts in recent months to undercut and sideline Dr. Anthony Fauci—even going so far as to compile a list of all the times he “has been wrong on things,” according to The Washington Post.

After canceling some of his planned TV appearances and keeping him away from the Oval Office, White House officials and President Trump have taken to publicly expressing a loss of confidence in the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and face of the administration's coronavirus task force. The apparent attempts to undermine Fauci come as he continues to counter the president's overly optimistic narrative on the state of the pandemic.

Against this backdrop, an unnamed White House official told the Post: “Several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things.” The official attached a list of incorrect predictions Fauci had made, including his doubts early on that asymptomatic spread would play a large role in transmission and a February assurance that Americans did not need to change their behavior. Like many other public health officials, Fauci said at first that masks were not necessary but recently recommended that they be mandated nationwide.

“Dr. Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public but he has been wrong about everything I have ever interacted with him on,” Peter Navarro, the president’s trade adviser, told the Post in a separate statement. “Now Fauci is saying that a falling mortality rate doesn’t matter when it is the single most important statistic to help guide the pace of our economic reopening. So when you ask me if I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is only with caution.”

Oh FFS Fauci has been right more than the dotard has. Remember Trump said this was going to be over by April.

1. FUCK peter navarro.....lick spittle

[Stallion]

2. Republican Logic--Fauci Has Been Wrong in Past So We Are Sticking to his Wrong Statements

[malaise]

3. Let's make a list of how many times the Con has been wrong about Covid-19

[dhill926]

11. yes...this should be pretty easy....

this bullshit needs to be countered immediately...

[Firestorm49]

4. This is hilarious. Tears are running down my face ( not really)

How about a long, long, long, long, long list of all the times Trump was wrong, incoherent, nonsensical, ......

[JDC]

5. I'd take the Pepsi challenge between Fauci and Trump re: the pandemic

Any day of the week and twice on Sunday's.


This effort to discredit Fauci cannot stand. People are dying every day and their only responce is to go on the PR offense and try to make a top Dr serving 6 presidents look bad because 45 is a shallow little xxxx.

6. What Has Navarro Been Right About?

Anything that anybody here can remember?

7. Has Trump been right? Just once????

[Journeyman]

8. So why haven't they replaced the incompetent boob? . . .

Or found someone to take Fauci's place?

9. "Close to Zero" -djt

10. Just a preamble to election finger pointing

Every time someone quotes Trump on the virus, he will just say that he was only repeating what his expert Fauci was telling him behind the scenes.

Believe me, no matter how they use attacks on expert, the base will believe AND, if it is repeated in enough places and often, others will develop mind poisoning.

19. I agree. That is an unfortunate coming reality.

Trump never own up to his many mistakes, but he is quick to take credit, even when he doesn’t deserve any credit at all.

12. Why would any semi-decent, competent individual ever go to work for Trump?

The trashing of Fauci was so predictable; it's not like it hadn't happened dozens of times before. One would think people could learn from the experiences of others.

[Hekate]

14. Fauci (and Birx) did NOT "go to work for Trump." They work for us, the American people.

They are professional scientists who have spent a lifetime’s career working in the US government.

Trump has one and only one yardstick to measure how well someone does their job: “Are you loyal to ME?”

13. Little known fact:

Peter Navarro was the inspiration for "The Peter Principle".

[NickB79]

15. Fauci has been wrong when he's been too CONSERVATIVE

Let that sink in. He gets it wrong when he tries to appease Trump.

When he's gone against Trump's rosy outlook, he nails it. And then he gets a Twitter-lashing from the right.

The reason he's occasionally gotten it wrong is sitting in the Oval Office right now.

[Blue_true]

18. I totally agree. Fauci tried to cover for Trump's incompetence.

His reward is to get stabbed in the back by those psychopaths.

[lettucebe]

16. He should counter with a list of all the times tRump has lied

It'd be an awful long list

[Blue_true]

17. Fauci tried to play along with those psychopaths to help them save face.

Having his reputation attacked by them is his reward.
