'The data is showing there's a single mutation that makes the virus be able to replicate better and maybe have high viral loads,' Fauci said in an interview.

The coronavirus has mutated in a way that might help the pathogen spread more easily, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.

Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases prepares to testify ahead of a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., June 30, 2020.The coronavirus has mutated in a way that might help the pathogen spread more easily, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.

All viruses evolve, or mutate, throughout their lifespan. RNA viruses like the coronavirus mutate more quickly than some other viruses,, because unlike human DNA, RNA viruses do not have "natural error checking," meaning that the code of the virus cannot correct itself.

Push that big pharma. Clown

So it’s less dangerous, goin by his track record.

Wait a minute! Hadn't we been told at the beginning of the pandemic that this RNA virus (Covid-19), DID have 'error checking' capabilities in replication - which made it more stable and slower to mutate?

Wait a minute! Hadn't we been told at the beginning of the pandemic that this RNA virus (Covid-19), DID seem to have some form of 'error checking' in replication - which made it more stable and slower to mutate?

He is just like trump, loving the attention and just saying random ass things to remain relevant

Tony is wearing a cotton 😷 does it work

FOS. He’s always been FOS.

Thank you for letting us know!🙏

This kind of a movie thats devloping to be aired

It will birth a dragon soon to

ATERRORIZA...ESA PORQUERIA ES UN ARMA NAZI CONTRA MANIFESTANTES

Unless Fauci knows the virus has mutated, then he needs to be responsible and stay quiet and speak facts, not propaganda. What is his motivation? Stop giving him a platform. He's 80 years old!

Dr doom and gloom. Wear your mask. No need to wear your mask. He changes his guidance more then he changes his underwear

Dr Fauci still joking about human suffering'?We know by Plandemic film everything..How much did Fauci get from Gates-Rockefeller foundation to perpetuate high crimes against humanity

Whilst looking like a sinister fanatic who would eat your organs after a satanic ritual 🤣🤣

Blsellhigh STFU

Operative word: “May”.

TheFinancer Uh huh

Get it right!!! We are dieing!!!

tim_fargo He’s going to come back again and say he was wrong about that..: But you can keep feeding your receivers the lies and the fear

I’m more afraid of chicken pox honestly..

“May” implies “may not” I may have become immortal.

Ask him about his possible Ghislaine connection through the LLC lawyer who bought her current house. He’s so corrupt and a member of the Gates and DS cabal.

You can thank all those BlackLivesMattters protests,chaz places and the riots so yea

For some reason I don’t believe a word he says, Fauci is part of the Bill Gates deal and they are all swamp snakes.

This guy is becoming a joke.

Precaution is only the way forward. Stop scaring unless you can provide livelihood to all affected. FYI I am not saying this virus does not exist.

The good doctor needs to shut the fuck up. He is drunk on his own fame, is inconsistent from interview to interview and has been wrong or has misrepresented significant facts and projections since January. He leaves a trail of panic behind him everywhere he goes.

Shut this T.. W.. A... T.. UP!

Liar!

Horse shit

Shit.

No Trump said we are just doing more testing! Trump is an arrogant ass

Crock of shit

FIRE FAUCI

Probably mutated as hundreds of people were in streets in every city every night. 🤷🏽‍♀️

May have and could be-not too helpful

Fools and Liars ALL OF YOU!!!

More infectious and less deadly. Italy told us that a month ago

When has Fauci been right about anything so far? Name ONE thing

Until Nov 4th

Just great..

Sure with less power to kill as shown by CDCgov data 🙄

SURE....Keep Spreading the Fear. The only thing mutating in America are the lies that keep dumbing down the people

Fauci=Fraud

Speculation

I wonder if he’ll be right this time. This is all very scientific you know

If you don't know why say it? QUIT using scare tactic's when protests still aren't limited. S hurting down bars is BULLSHIT! Shut down the protests or shut up. People can't take anything you say as being serious anymore.

How is this guy still in his position?!! Horrific

It may not have also. Those stupid ass statements have no fact basis on them. Kinda like saying CNBC is news, there is no fact basis for that.

Maybe its the protesting ...

So in other words the coronavirus might NOT have mutated to become more infectious.

And it may not. This guy has a different story every time he opens up his mask-covered mouth.

I hope not. Keep us posted!

Can_ada

My opinion of him is mutating.

And next week it’ll be less contagious. These experts just keep guessing. I remember 3 months ago when they were certain it was aerosolized. That was demonstrated to be false.

Does Fauci realize very few are actually listening to his advice anymore. A joint session with the Who's Tedros would be a hoot

Yes, I’m sure someone’s been woring on that.

Death rates expected to spike when?

STFU GTFOOH

Didn’t he just say it has mutated to be LESS dangerous 🤔🤔😂😂 talk about narrative falling apart 😂😂

The CDC and our infectious control people botched this like nobody’s business. After hanging on his every word for the last few months I’ve come to the conclusion that Fauci is flying blind. I hope I’m wrong.

No need to mute with a so welcoming host : american machos refusing the mask and millennials organizing parties to get it quickly COVIDー19 ripdonaldtrump

Faaake Neeews

He cannot stop himself at this point.......

Not in China, they haven't! Please no excuse for your US incompetence.

We have to be more alert then.

😩😩😩we shouldnot have to be here....

Wow. Imagine all the new crap this guy will come up with through November

It mutated into Democrats.

are you going to report these numbers? CNBC.. FAKE NEWS

Wrong again morron. The death count is slowing down! More false media! HELL IS GOING TO BE A VERY CROWDED PLACE!

Fck sorry I don't believe u fucci

Don't worry India will beat Russia and USA in number of confirmed Coronavirus cases.

Guys if you’re scared... donate to my charity and in return...I’ll hold your hands.

When are people going to figure out that this man is an incompetent fool!

Shut up Fauci. I don’t believe a single word you say. I think you need to retire you look tired.

Shut up already

Don't worry Dr. Fauci, this all will end on November 4th 🤔

No maybe it’s just because there is testing everywhere that I’ll never get!

Give the vaccine to black people and native Americans first and keep their population stagnant....monsters!

Longing to hear that the WUHAN Covid19 is brought under control. But mutation story is devastating. How to hope. If hope itself becomes a casualty, it is more than catastrophic.

Fauci and his incessant Faustian bargain causes fatigue!

Translation: I have no idea what this virus is and keep getting it wrong...

Of course. All according to plan

May have....sounds like a scare tactic.

Why don't you do us all a favor and retire Dr. Doom and Gloom. I thought on Feb 14 you said that we don't have to worry about the virus it's not that contagious. Well, you were WRONG! Stop making parents afraid to have their children go to school.

It also MAY have been over exaggerated

More infectious is fine, more deadly is the problem

Is there any proof of this

Literature on this months ago...

Proof, please. Otherwise it’s fear mongering.

QanonAnonymous and it will keep mutating until November! Who knew! TheSilentMajority

They’re going to continue to spread fear until the results of this next election drop. After that it’ll either disappear because Biden won or they’ll quit pushing it cause it didn’t work if Trump wins. Either way this is gone by the beginning of next year.

K

He could be right.

Yes, they get weaker and more infectious.

He needs to shut up. He’s been wrong the whole time.

This is concerning.

I wish this guy would disappear already. Who died and made him king of our lives anyway? I’ll do my own due diligence and wear a mask in public places and wash my hands thanks!

AndrewAdamsKSL Hold your horses. Is this a guess? Or, is there some scientific evidence behind that comment? Quit guessing and let’s use science to answer questions rather than rile people up!

Fuk him

And also mutated to become less deadly.

If you’re still fooled by this demon just give up. Right now. You’re lost. SCAMDEMIC PLANDEMIC

No please no Dr. Fauci.

That is why I have been saying that this INTELLIGENT virus can NEVER be defeated by humans nor any vaccines. The STUPID Chinese and the FOREIGN ARCHITECT who partnered with them never thought it would ever go out of their control and create such HAVOC

Dr. Death

and again Fauci is moving the goal posts, as directed by Clinton/ CCP and Soros

BS

of course the ******* will say that

And much much less lethal.

Yes it will only kill up until the election

this guy has turned into a clown show....need some new blood..

Liar who is going to believe you

CNBC Fauci a total fraud. They don’t stop

No it didn't mutate more infectiously and he was caught handful of times not wearing a mask . We've moved on from FearPorn

Oh tuck off

Here we go. Yes more infectious not nearly as deadly, but that is not a juicy headline.

Really, your station is becoming more and more famous for fakenews

growing101QC It spreads trough screaming. That's why the corona virus is 10x more contagious in the US.

Who mutated it?

Yea until the election!!

I'm so done with this little hobbit. It could be this, it could be that. I swear he sounds like your average person that is just guessing

DO you really not see what is going on here. DO your job and stop tweeting this BULL SHIT

😆

The Wuhan Coronavirus has mutated into the GOP Coronavirus. Trump'ians BEWARE!

Enough already! How about you investigate this fraud Fauci and get differing opinions or are your tentacles too entrenched. Fear, fear,fear..... It's all you have lately. The tree will be shaken and the bad apples will be discarded. Put it all together people! Sickening

Protests are done, back to scaring the children

And also maybe less lethal you dingbat (always with the may this and may that). Wait a sec, if he is a form of a bat maybe he is patient zero.

This guy sounds like an idiot....

BINGO!!!

No America's just filled with idiots

Italian Dr says Coronavirus has mutated to a weaker strain. So Far Fauci has been wrong on everything so far

Mutation can go go any number of ways our models say if gets more virulent burns out faster other way it becomes less virulent as we become more resistant crisis over! Unless you are a Dem in need of a new one

Fauci just continues to lose credibility 🤦🏻‍♂️

Delete your account.

Need to keep the fear inside the people brain because otherwise they will not buy the vaccine ....

Brett

May have!

Flip flopper. I guess With Biden offering him a major role the rhetoric heats up until the virus miraculously abates mid Nov

Yep.

Stop with alarming news or the Nasdaq will reach 80,000 and Tesla 150,000

I’ll take more infectious less deadly any day. Plus doesn’t that make sense evolutionarily. Don’t kill your host too soon before you replicate

Need to empathize the effects of virus, length of hospitalizations not just deaths

so then what? will kill all living things on planet earth?

Riots have slowed down, time for another spin on the WuhanVirus

JoanieGentian

🤦🏾‍♂️

Thank you for informing us.

He’s losing credibility looking at his mask.

Yawn

But less deadly.

Jan, 2020 Fauci “This is not a major threat”

What does that mean? Airborne? I keep seeing people saying they got this virus and they’re wearing a mask and they don’t know how they got it and they’re staying at home for the most part. So is it airborne.

Why is Dr Fauci still around?

would someone slap this twit!

Does Fauci have a Twitter account probably not because if one has to hide one is wrong.

All you need is a caption 'The master will come, and he has promised to make me immortal!'. Renfield from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

The rest of the story: more infectious but far less deadly and many not knowing they even have it. But let’s scare the piss out of everyone.

FYI Fraudfauci is going down protect your money folks

The virus 'MAY' have grown legs and is now being called THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Sorry, I started sneezing too much.

I believe it was yesterday Dr Fauci was talking about polio before the vaccine and how everybody took it so seriously. I think that was because of the images of people in iron lungs and braces. We need some shocking images to get people to do the right thing

Hey Fauci, nobody cares.

This dude is a fear monger

And it MIGHT kill everyone on the planet. So, there's that.

Throw the flag. no may haves this is science remember.

May have......deaths going down everyday.

Remain calm. Viruses mutate almost continuously. The genetic payload is quite small. Sometimes gaining one feature, like transmissivity, it loses somewhere else, like hopefully lethality.

Wat een doemscenario is dit nu weer. may may may

Deep State Fauci

NewsFlash Dr. Fauci doesn't have the formula for COVID19! That's why most have been off on their data! DataScience

It's like a nightmare from a sci-fi movie! 😷

He lost his credibility 2 peaks ago, same as WHO.

Fauci hasn’t been right on ANYTHING

Lol idk who to believe. An expert from Italy said quite the opposite. He said that the virus is weakening. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still “may” .. when r these experts be sure of anything.

Dr.Doom

So mutation does equal change ? Why did you lie on camera then?

'may have'? Shouldn't they know for bloody certain.

But less deadly

Laura Ingraham Spews Yet Another Wild Conspiracy Theory About Anthony FauciThe Fox News personality called the nation's top infectious disease expert “Dr. Doom' and criticized him for 'undermining Trump’s agenda.' Feck sake, what are those people LIKE. It's a PANDEMIC. A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. When will this yellow haired lady be taken off the air? Fauci had to be pressed by Sen Paul to agree/admit that kids should go back to school! That is great news (which the leading Pediatric org had already asserted) and yet it had to be dragged out of Fauci. I’d say that was a little Dr. Doom-ish.
