Top White House coronavirus adviser Anthony Fauci praises Victoria's attitude towards mask wearing, saying it has been 'painful' to see the issue become politicised in the United States.

Top White House coronavirus adviser Anthony Fauci has praised Victoria's attitude towards mask-wearing, saying it has been "painful" to see the issue become politicised in the United States.

"Although there's many positives of independent states, when you're dealing with a pandemic and you say 'we need everyone to be doing A, B and C', and all of a sudden state 43 does this and state 27 does that, it becomes very difficult," he said.He said the problem was particularly noticeable when the US tried to "open up the economy" recently.

"Even though we had the guidelines of universal wearing of masks, keeping distance, avoiding crowded and congregated settings, doing things outdoors more than indoors, and washing your hands.Divisiveness around mask-wearing 'painful to see', Dr Fauci says

SVerghis Dr. Fauci is like jello been too wishy washy and I do not think he is an honest player, no matter how good he was or is! What did he do actually do effectively except change his mind?

Honeslty the same fuckwits complaining about wearing a mask will be the first ones ejaculations over how tough the diggers were and how soft Australians have become when it hits ANZAC day.

Treasonous rat-bast*d!

🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

Fauci...You are so full of Contradictions and Misinformation from the very beginning of the pandemic until now !!!! You are not believable and are not trusted!

Thanks for sharing. If anyone would like to watch the full recording it is available here: 🤓

Victorians rock. I would hate to be in their position, hospitals reaching capacity, staff shortages, covid treatment shortages and only getting worse.

Unfortunately like the climate it all gets politicized between the left and the right and it doesn’t matter who gets in, very little is achieved and people whose lives could have been saved, die.

Please send to JoshFrydenberg

RachelBkr It is so disappointing that parts of society choose the mental gymnastics of anti-masking, over what the experts tell us is a key part of the solution. It’s a mask. Wear it, get over the slight discomfort and inconvenience.

See the thing is when you export experimentation of this virus to Wuhan because your own countries laws don’t allow it. You don’t get to have a say in anything really and we don’t give a toss. You know that also DefundTheABC

But the box rhey come says they do not stop the wuflu. And basically every virologist in the world is saying the same. 'Trust the science' but only the science we tell you to trust.

I believe they need to remember and acknowledge the financial support Fed & State Govs enabled for businesses and individuals. Without I just don’t know what would have happen.

Masks wearing may not have been politicised but the Morrison government politicised Covid 19.

This shows Fauci has zero idea. Masks policy in Victoria is ridiculous.

GFY Fauci

LOYALFAN1 True. For now THAT’S TRUE. CC: Ksenias7

Fauci is a fraud!

So he’s made up his mind it seems. He has hummed and hard for almost a year. quack

PatsKarvelas At least the USA sets an example. An example of not what to do.

PatsKarvelas The only thing that matters anymore is that our criminal goverment is funded by taxpayers! The people have to stop the extortionist gang that is Gov! No more following rules that are enforced by a Gov plutocracy that is an enemy of the people! Complete transparency or removal!

They proved it works.

Must be so frustrating for this man

Yes, what people have to do in the world is wearing the mask, that’s all. No need lockdown!

'There's no reason for people to be walking around with a mask' Dr Fauci

Definitely.. we should follow his lead.

Thread:

It’s a slight annoyance and discomfort with extraordinary benefits for the greater community. Just wear a damn mask.

💀

Work to do at home?

Fauci praises Victorians' obedience. Nobody using discretion. Just follow rules from above. Good job everyone.

I love Fauci!! Nice to hear him praise Vic. Sad LNP don't :(

What about the report Fauci published in the Lancet stating that the majority of deaths during the spanish flu were due to the wearing of masks causing viral pneumonia. Never believe someone who is paid handsomely by the CCP, as is his protege in Victoria, Chairman Dan.

It would be better if Trumpy congratulated Dan. How would Dan respond?

Okay 🤔

Scientific tests have proven Masks do not work against the FLU or Covid 19 Viruses. The Viruses are so tiny they can pass through the Mask as you breathe in and out. Also the continual use of Masks can cause a loss of oxygen in the bloodstream which may lead to brain damage.

And he leads by example

Mr Fauci: you sir are an inspiration for people everywhere: we all know you do your job under the most difficult circumstances: complete respect.

Pbearwilltravel everyone should be wearing a mask its really a very simple way to help stop the virus spreading

Dr. Fauci has one of the most thankless and difficult jobs in the world, as tweets in this thread show. At every stage he has advocated the correct moves to make as best as he knew at the time. With new knowledge he has been early in issuing new guidance. I support Dr Fauci.

Thanks to the Dan henchmen and goons who created an awesome culture of 'compliance'.

The same guy that was in every other major virus advisory board... I’d sure trust him... remember his aids “cure”...

PatsKarvelas

Fauci works for CCP so does Daniel Andrew.

Wearing a mask only increases the risk of infection, not to say that this is a dangerous virus because it simply is NOT

Problem is in Aust, only Vic got hit, and it involves very strict lockdowns.Masks help to an extend. To do same accross US, it will cripple the US economy and then world depression. That means no jobs, less taxes intake, no future social support.

This is NOT news. Fauci is a bigger fraud than even Dan Andrews 🙄

DEFUND THE ABC. Another corrupt fellow.

PatsKarvelas Fauci lied, 1164,755 people died! BlairBrandt ABC abcmelbourne smh 7NewsAustralia 9NewsAUS TGAgovau WHO

jurylady5 So ?

Loved hearing his honest and candid interpretation of the science. It's ok to acknowledge COVID is dynamic, and recommendations will change from understanding through science. Thank you unimelb

PatsKarvelas He realises that we are threatened with fines right?

Didn't Fauci recently say that healthy people shouldn't wear masks. Change of mind to suit the agenda.

We don’t have a choice!!!!

Australian Liberals have really high cases of sexually transmitted diseases its just the facts

oh right an imposed law is always going to shape your attitude!

Fauci, the expert that said mask weren’t necessary 3 months ago can’t be taken seriously

Its not our attitude, its the fact that we get the shit fined out of us if we happen to break the rules.

Saying that its better than americans isnt saying much at all tbh. Crisis has shown which countries are bad when it comes to solidarity to others

Dr Death is toast. Eugenist. NWO. Mass murderer

The facemasks should be worn only by covid infected people. In case Fauci contemplates the retirement in AU, VIctoria is not the best place to do so.

You wouldn't want to highlight this bit too much 'Dr Fauci said among the country's challenges were how states operated independently despite having a central government' Orange Man, eh, not authorised to intervene.

Fauci knows. Pity the sh$ he's suffered from the blotus.

A vindication of Science! Victoria! The Good Guys! A repudiation of Stupidity! Ignorance! Morons that troll the account!

Wow! To not listen to an expert like Dr Fauci is shameful.

This guy deserves a medal for having to put up with the intolerable amount of Bullst that Trump generates.

People like Trump believe they know it all, but the fact is, they can't even undertand data and most of them can't even spell!

AYE NIIIIICE

This guy?

A few months back he claimed they were a placebo at best - he was more correct then 🤔

I can't help remember Trump's schadenfreude in saying covid was 'smashing' Australia and NZ and I can't help notice his silence now both Australia and NZ have smashed covid 🤔 WearAMask

Dangerous fool.

Mask wearing helped us get the spread under control. It’s not a major inconvenience to wear one. Keep fining those that don’t want to and make sure you collect on the fines. VictoriaPolice DanielAndrewsMP LisanevilleMP

Is this the guy that wrote a medical paper about not wearing a mask?

Have you searched any conflicts of intrest Anthony Fauci has ABC ?

Masks are good but they only serve a purpose up until a point. When there are zero cases then no masks should be mandatory.

Good to see old fauci chiming in with his support for overbearing government measures.

This guy looks like an evil goblin...

Thanks but please make it stop. Release regional Victoria ffs

New Zealand, Australia, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, China,Thailand,Mongolia,,,covid-19 now almost 0! It is completely under control!

Still refusing to report on Joe Biden latest allegations, considering he's running to be the next US President this is utterly shameful & a disservice for democracy. Weep for the partisan hacks

I go for 5k walk twice a day and never wear a mask on the walking track near my house. 🤫 Dont tell Dan! 😎

Does anyone really trust what this weasel says... this isn’t news! Report on the Biden family 🤦‍♂️

How about we make it a choice? I’m sick of being hissed at every time I take my dog for a walk or go to the supermarket without a mask.

He likes citizens who OBEY... 😏

Isn't that the same guy who earlier said masks do not work.
