'You don't want to balance lives against the economy,' Dr. Anthony Fauci said during an interview with the JAMA Network.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, while speaking with the JAMA Network, said that "you have people who think in one direction and those who think in the other" when it comes to the decision to reopen the economy amid the pandemic.

Says the rich 80 year old man

Again... there 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 no 👏🏼 pandemic 👏🏼

Balance isn't even on the radar; nothing outweighs a big bank account.

Trump once again said that the economy was recovering strongly, and suggested that the coronavirus would go away on its own. He said: 'I think we're gonna be very good with the coronavirus. I think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear,

Economy is fundamental to life. No food, no cloths, no housing, higher price, higher unemployment, higher crime rate, chaos, conflicts, war. Such obvious thing, why do you pretend not to know?

I would argue a dead economy ruins more lives.

Who elected this guy King of the World? Must have missed that one.

Says the guy that will never ever miss a single paycheck.

Most people commenting are just dumb if they think it will take more time to have a vaccine/treatment than die to starvation for lack of income. Everything in US is about money, what a joke. The 'fake' economy will burst sooner or later. Maybe when a dear one die they will learn.

Why are people still listening to this guy? Isn’t he the one who said early on that mask are ineffective, then changed his time once the spread was out of control? Maybe you should look at the parents for the virus and see how much he will make from the vaccine

Mr Fraudci!

What does everyone in government and the media have in common..... they still get to work and get a pay check. Easy for them to say. By the way thanks for the whopping $1,200. They are out of touch with reality.

Everyone is going to die, so let’s not all die poor.

Then we should only care about the economy

F*ck Fauci and his lies.

Stay in the your lane Fauci.

and previously he said businesses cant stay shuddered forever, people need to go back to work ThreeFacesOfFauci

Dr doom and dr wrong .. he should be banned and his paycheck should be reduced based on some formula of hit to economy

The shut down kills! Get back to your lives

Spoken like a true politician. There has to be a balanced approach. 3M Americans will die “naturally” this year regardless.

But they will, Dr. Fauci. its skimming from these businesses that makes this .. preoccupation of theirs worthwhile.

Easy for you when you're guaranteed a paycheck forever.

Tell Doc Mole Fauci I’ve left my wife and kids to go shelter in the mountains for 2 years. I hope this works!!

Great, ban all driving. We cannot weigh our desire to travel against saving lives.

That’s so easy to say when you have income coming in. If we never get it back to you should we just close the country down forever? Tell people who are at high risk to stay home.

If Dr. Genius would have taken an econ class, he might understand shutting down the economy kills more people than covid ever will..

How does Fauci have any credibility at this point?

Its time for some one new

Funny how all these government elections around the world still go ahead but everything else gets the arse...

There are a lot of ways to die Dr. Fauci the virus is only one what about suicide poverty spousal abuse feelings of worthlessness despair they can kill more easily than the virus

Im starting to think keeps posting these so fraudci gets ridiculed

Don’t balance lives against the economy. Let people work, allow the chips to fall where they fall

This is exactly what Trump’s doing,unfortunately

When will Dr Fucci retired? Soon I hope.

What an idiot. People die in gas explosions and car crashes. Eliminate them. Everything in life is a tradeoff.

Fauci is against Trump. Fire Fauci. realDonaldTrump

He is a fraud

What is he saying? Why not put pressure on young people who are not listening to you.

Notice the good Dr. is still receiving a big pay check

Is Dr. Fauci going to pay all my bills and mortgage each month. Let me know where to send the $2,000 bill. Also I would like my 401k match that I’m missing out on at work now. Thanks in advance. People are trying to destroy us for .2% death rate.

Every 1% increase in the unemployment rate causes approximately 40k deaths. The covid lockdown destroyed the economy and will lead to more deaths than the virus.

Until the vaccine is available, every American should have a hand wash and a mask. Hand washing and masks can prevent the spread of viruses.

Can someone please tell Dr. Fauci that 'balancing lives against the economy' is not something that is possible to avoid?

So true, I Love him💞

CNBC are scum. As soon as anyone reminds people that the FLOYD funeral is the cause for the spike in Texas they cut them offf.

He’s really enjoying the pandemic & cashing out. Always warming 8billion people .

So many deaths on our local interstate 81, most due to big trucks. Why do we allow this 'lives against economy ' to exist?

Fauci for president for the rest of 2020!

If we closed the economy and stay in home for two months further, Will the virus 🦠 disappear ? I think the answer is it will not. The sanitaries measures and social distancing is the way. We have to use masks, gloves, wash our hands, Keeping healthy, etc.

this is academia folks

He said this many times in April ! Republican Gov. did not listen.

Says the guy who is working and getting paid. I bet if he was out of work and looking at his family every night wondering how they were going to stay afloat, his opinion might change.

In the real world we have to, so Dr. Fauci should come up with the best plans he can with that variable or we need to find someone else who will.

What if they are one in the same. What about the dealths caused by the shut down?

More lives would be lost if you shut the economy down.

Dr. Fauci for sainthood - heroically standing up for Americans, while the TRUMPVIRUS rages.

EXACTLY WHAT TRUMP & HIS REGIME R DOING ALONG W/REPUBLICAN 'TRUMP ENABLERS' IN MANY SOUTHERN STATES EXPERIENCING SURGES IN VIRUS CASES. GOV ABBOTT & LT GOV DAN PATRICK ARE 2 MORON, STATUS-SEEKING 'TRUMP ENABLERS' IN TEXAS AS VIRUS SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL!

Who made Fauci king

Lesson 1. Never take anybody serious who only owns one shirt.

I hate this manlet so much

The economy has to adjust to the realities of the pandemic, and not the other way around. If only we had a president to lead the way with this.

I don’t think Dr Fauci ever been in situation trying to work everyday to make ends need! This world Life is economy, and economy is life, don’t BS saying you need to just shelter out with empty pocket! Please stay home if you’re vulnerable, don’t dictate everyone else!

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT NEEDED- Heard from 2 sources: Hospitals are padding Covid caes for finacial gain due to expense stresses. All ER patients are marked as positive, then tested, neg results often dont get corrected in record. COVIDー19 COVID

Only one doctor in the house America listens to - Dr. Trump

Imagine thinking the economy isn't about life.

Fauci the bafoon.

Too late Doc, 45 has made it clear, he doesn’t care.

And with that, realDonaldTrump should fire Fauci. He failed as an expert, now he's advocating policy. Which is he? Trump needs to start firing DC dead weight.

Crony capitalism has something to say about that. Facts and logic don’t matter.

Told you guys from the beginning....mitigation is capitulation. And now we're f'd.

You misspelled lies - FauciLiesAmericaDies

Does G Maxwell have enough dirt on trump and others to get her killed? Vegas just put out odds an G. Maxwell living through the weekend at : 1 - 2 I'm think' yeah !!!!!!!!

Fake news

Spoken like a true bureaucrat doctor with millions saved

Lets see how noble this man is. Strip him off all assets/money and only give him food to survive, then say 'Until you tell people they must go back to work, food is all your getting' How long will he hold that noble posture.

The trend

Who put this guy in charge anyway? Why are other countries recovering so much better than us then?

Both are lives DrFauci. They matter, sight unseen. Start a program that gets good PPE to the vulnerable. Let the young work. tt:larry_kudlow MadMoneyOnCNBC

Maybe start a line item adjustment for riot/covid/protests. People clearly don’t care about spreading the virus or worse yet intend to do so! so let them get what they are asking for, it’s simple. No one is listening no one cares so let the children play?

False choice

Fix the pandemic or there will BE no viable economy.

is that why you told the public couple months back we didnt need to wear masks in public... you lie to me as you did dont ask for my trust

No body gives a خرا 💩 Faucky

Fauci waited 40 years to tell people wearing masks is a benefit to society.
