Incorrect, BMX. He just barely masks his contempt for the GOP/WH.

That he is adored by the whole DC press corps and has professed his love in writing for Hillary Clinton are other current indications, but the biggest to me is his dismissal of hydroxychloroquine as 'anecdotal.'

There's a lot of data out there on it and he knows that, which is why hundreds of millions of dosages have been donated in the past couple weeks.

Fauci is a politician first, physician way down the line. He's never seen a camera/microphone he didn't love. He's been 'ok' in this but I can't stand his type.

Disagree completely.

The respected immunologist was caught smirking at President Donald Trump during a coronavirus press conference on Friday afternoon

He was also forced to publicly row back on the president's claims that the anti-malarial drug cloroquine offered a potential cure for coronavirus in the latest of a series of public rebukes.

He said that telling Trump 'things he doesn't want to hear' was a 'risky business.'
Fauci said that he tried not to 'embarrass Trump' and said that he attempts to deal with the president by 'continually' talking about scientific facts.'

'I don't want to act like a tough guy, like I stood up to the president,' he said.
'I just want to get the facts out. And instead of saying, 'You're wrong,' all you need to do is continually talk about what the data are and what the evidence is.'

I've been telling the president things he doesn't want to hear. I have publicly had to say something different with what he states.'

On Friday Fauci appeared to roll his eyes and suppress laughter as Trump lashed out at the State Department, describing them as the 'Deep State department'.

Dr Fauci then placed his hand over his face, in what many described as a 'face palm' reaction to Trump's inflammatory remarks.

Video of the incident was shared across Twitter, with many commenting on the doctor's body launguage.

Doc.

They made a cocktail of soda and fish tank chemical/solvent (chloroquine phosphate) and drank it.

Chloroquine phosphate is a poison.

I am a political conservative who recently retired from TAMU where I held appointments in both the medical and veterinary colleges. My long research career includes extensive research in infectious diseases, although not on corona viruses. Tony Fauci is the only scientist on the President's task force, and he is truly outstanding in both the breadth and the depth of his knowledge. He will not compromise his science based opinions for either the President or the liberal media. I was proud of President Trump for putting him on the task force. Heaven help us when we judge scientific opinion based on the political leaning of the source.

Fauci probably should have been fired when he thought we were too stupid to know masks work but needed to save them for healthcare workers.

So a small number of people not complying can result in an order of magnitude increase in detected infections? Can you show your work on that calculation?

Also, can you explain how South Dakota has seen a decrease in detected infections of roughly 70% over the last six weeks, despite no mask mandate?

Wouldnt be surprised to learn he's another noodle armed maggot eunuch liberal.

However, that email sounds fake. No idea if it is, but some of those WikiLeaks dumps weren't real, like the GCF one itself
