Fauci: COVID Guidelines ‘May Need to Be More Restrictive’

Pam Key 17 Dec 2021

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that COVID protocols may become “more restrictive” with the Omicron variant.

Host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, “As you know, we are in holiday season there are parties. You talked about getting together with your family during the holidays. You recommended testing and the like. At what point would you reassess that?”

Fauci said, “You’ve got to just take things one step at a time and take a look at how things evolve. I mean, obviously, if you are vaccinated, your family’s vaccinated, you have friends who are vaccinated, and hopefully also boosted, you can still enjoy a social gathering generally in a home. You’ve got to be careful when you go into large public indoor spaces where there are a lot of people there. And that’s the reason why you should be wearing a mask under those circumstances.”

He continued, “If the counts keep going up and the test positivity keeps going up, we may need to be more restrictive. But for right now, people who are vaccinated and boosted should feel reasonably comfortable. The risk was never zero. That is for sure.”

Fauci added, “I think you have to look at all the different factors. You have to look at people who are getting infected. You have to look at the seriousness of the infection, the rate of hospitalizations, all of those things you look at when you make a determination about how restrictive you are going to be.”

Just live one year on what COVID reduced many Americans to for income, and we'll talk (very briefly) about it.

This has gone on long enough.

That train has left the station.  People will resist even more than before.

Hope you are correct.

Right. I immediately thought of some dietary suggestions for that wart.

Hope you are correct.

What we've seen in Europe and Australia has been encouraging. Even the more authoritarian-friendly societies are revolting at failed promises. We are slowly witnessing the collapse of faith in public health.

At some point the kettle will start boiling…hopefully. “We the people” need to start taking ownership of our country

In a grocery store today, third had masks on, two thirds no masks.
Rode in a Lyft today, masks are mandatory according to the company.
Driver had no mask on, nor did I. Everyone is over it already. Too much already.
At the VA they asked me if I wanted the booster. No way in hell!
I wish I had never taken the first two. Certainly don't want any more.
Those shots are dangerous. Classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.
Except the shots are no cure at all. They only mask symptoms, which is worse in terms of spreading COVID to everyone everywhere you go. You just become a Typhoid Mary. Infected but no symptoms.

Same thing on the LIRR viz. masks:  the conductor makes the announcement periodically that masks are mandated by federal law, and one can be fined $50 by the police for not wearing one.  I haven't worn a mask on the LIRR in a year - the ticket collectors and conductors walk right past me without saying a thing - and I see a few people in every car who are doing likewise.

Fauci told us coronavirus would never reach America

That was several years after Fauci told people they could get AIDS just by being in the same room as an infected person, mind you. This guy's a genius.

In 37 years Fauci has never been on the right side of a pandemic, every action or inaction he has taken has led to the deaths of Americans. The only thing that needs to be more restrictive is Fauci's breathing space, say down to a 6X8 cell.
