SecPompeo DonaldJTrumpJr Could someone with unbiased credibility please take over for Fauci? The “gain of function” revelation feels more like collaborating with an adversary to allegedly attempt genocide than allegedly attempting to advance science for the benefit of mankind.

Who still listens to this guy

Waiting for travel ban coming back...after 20 days of opening...would be a desaster for the economy

Of course it will reach the US…it was designed to do just that.

White Supremacist Biden, Media, Democrat racist xenophobic air travel restrictions targeting black people and black countries , un-American travel ban undermines our nation’s core values. It is clearly driven by hate, not security.

Who cares, it apparently is even milder then Delta...

Lawmakers are moving fast, it is not March 2020. I hope by early next week they have mRNA

I, somhow feel this Fauci always wants viruses to spread and then comes up with recommending to put vaccine and then booster shots.
