In a startling interview with the New York Times, Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the government’s coronavirus taskforce, admitted that he did not level with the American people about how many people would need to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity because he didn’t think the public was ready to hear his true thoughts, which he feared might discourage people from getting vaccinated.
The Times article catalogued Dr. Fauci’s changing position on how many Americans would need to be vaccinated, which he initially stated would be 60-70 percent. As noted by the Times, about a month ago, Fauci’s tune began to change and he suggested that the figure was actually 70-75 percent. Last week, in an interview with CNBC, he upped that figure (again) to “75 to 80-plus percent.” In the interview with the Times, he changed his estimate yet again and suggested that the figure actually may be “close to 90 percent.
According to the Times, in the telephone interview, “Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”
In other words, Fauci’s advice to the American public on one of the most critical aspects of the coronavirus pandemic, has not consisted entirely of his honest opinion, formulated by the best science, but rather on what he thinks the country is ready to hear.
Dr. Fauci went on to even more expressly admit that he had fudged his public pronouncements in order to encourage people to take the vaccine. According to the Times, Dr. Fauci was ready to raise his estimates “weeks ago” but refused because “many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines, which they would need to accept almost universally in order for the country to achieve herd immunity.”
Blithely continuing to explain how polling, rather than science, informed his public pronouncements, Fauci went on: “When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent. Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”
Moreover, Fauci went on to explicitly state that his future pronouncements might still be based on his feeling of what the public thinks, not what the science says: “We need to have some humility here. We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”
Why won’t he say 90 percent? According to the Times, the answer is that “Doing so might be discouraging to Americans, he said, because he is not sure there will be enough voluntary acceptance of vaccines to reach that goal,” in light of the fact that “sentiments about vaccines in polls have bounced up and down this year.”

There’s something a bit off-topic, but I wanted to let someone know. This is something I decided to check out. Here is the population for the United states over the last 3 years:
Dec 1, 2020 330.66 million
Dec 1, 2019 329.02 million
Dec 1, 2018 327.43 million
Doing some basic subtraction with these dates, there was a 1.59 million increase in population from 2018 to 2019. From Dec. 1, 2019 to Dec. 1, 2020, there was a 1.64 million increase. During this ‘pandemic,’ there was an even greater population increase than prior year! Some could say it’s because of ‘increased immigration.’ With these lockdowns and travel restrictions, there would actually be less instead of more immigration. Anyway, just thought I’d point this out for arsenal against the propaganda that Covid has been so deadly to the US. Others could use their own statistics for their own countries as well.

So, to sum up their bullshit! Fake tests with false positives proven over 80% of the time.
Fake science to push a propaganda agenda that the Nazi brown shirts would be proud of. A virus that was never isolated. A vaccine that has never been used successfully ever before. No animal testing conducted on the said virus because they would show the real dangers of mRNA vaccines to the populations of the world. A little research is all it takes to point out their falsehoods. Fauci and Debra B. are both guilty of crimes against humanity and should be tried for murder just for the part they played in perpetrating this hoax that caused real sick people from being treated for real diseases. Every time this Mealymouthed weasel opens his trap I want to choke the life out of him.
The truth about sheep is they are taught to fear the wolves when the whole time their real enemy is the Sheppard. Your real enemy is in DC. Both sides of the isle. They want a civil war and are doing all of these thing to push you over the edge. They push false events through their propaganda arm that is the media. In 2012 it was made legal to use propaganda on Americans look it up. Your own tax dollars are being used against you. Why hasn’t Trump told you this? He calls them fake news when in fact all he would have to do is point out the fact that the Smith Mundt act of 2012 was pushed through Congress and signed into law. Qanon and Trump are controlled opposition meant to drive all conservatives to the point where they revolt. At that point we lose all of our rights. They want chaos so they can set up their new system of enslavement that will make the previous one look like a grand old time in comparison. It was bad enough they steal 40% of everything you make. Land of the free as long as you keep paying. You already own nothing. That house isn’t yours. Ever! Miss a few years of taxes and it is gone. You were enslaved at birth. Time to stop playing their games. Just disconnect from their bullshit. Every time they tell you anything make the smart choice and know it is a lie before you get all worked up and take out your frustration on the wrong person or people. Millions of people in the Middle East are dead because of a lie orchestrated in the halls of power. A lie thought of by rich people that never cared for anyone’s life. Heroine flooding our streets from Afghanistan over a lie. All of these things lead to mass death and endless suffering. Yet now you believe that they care enough about you to create a magical vaccine meant to save lives? Are you dumb or have you just lost your minds? To them your compliance with these stupid mask rules just let them know it was ok to push through the rest of their plan forward. Unless we stop playing their games the US is over.
I Am so entirely delighted reading your comment. Feels like I wrote it myself. Sometimes I get so discouraged when I come across individuals who have the sheep mentality. I was called racist for my views about masks by an individual who claimed that Indigenous and Black People are affected by this Peter Pandemic the most. Further stating that I could save lives if I just follow the rules by wearing a muzzle over my face. Lol. Unbeknownst to this individual, I Am a Black Woman. I guess I was supposed to vote for Sleepy Joe as well because I’m Black, how sad. Anyway WD, I appreciate your comment. It’s great to know that not all of Us are sleeping. Be well friend.
Me too – so discouraged – time after time – but keep hammering away
