Fauci told the senator he misconstrued the facts and had "done that repeatedly in the past."

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, forcefully pushed back on assertions about COVID-19 made by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., during a Wednesday hearing, telling the senator he misconstrued the facts and had"done that repeatedly in the past."

Fauci said he and his colleagues had made their earlier decisions and recommendations based on the data available at the time, but he and his colleagues would make new recommendations as new data arrived. Story continues"No, no, you misconstrue that, Senator, and you've done that repeatedly in the past. They got hit very badly, they made some mistakes," he said.

Paul said New York City had achieved a high enough infection rate that the city could achieve herd immunity and mitigate the pandemic, but Fauci said Paul was not listening to the experts.

Senator Paul is not alone in his contentions, and it’s disingenuous to say so

Is there anything more condescending than NBC’s, “The More You Know” commercial. I want to vomit when the left wing idiots at NBC feel that have to finger wag and lecture me as if they know more than me and then commercialize their arrogance. sucks the big one! Another Republican staffer tries to spread disinformation and another Republican staffer retires. What did the schmuck expect? He wouldn't get noticed lying about a pandemic?

Fauci tells Congress 'it might take some time' before the public gets a coronavirus vaccineFauci also said there's 'growing optimism' that scientists will find one or more safe and effective vaccines by the end of the year or early 2021. I have never seen someone wrong so many times in my life! Instead of making these types of statements, it would be more productive for Dr. Fauci to find 10 ways to expedite the process of getting Americans vaccinated. So tired of these GD bureaucrats. If trump wins, it will be the last we hear of the vaccine, masks, etc. The government will stop testing and we’ll stick our head in the sand even further. 200,000 (and counting) dead Americans, and nobody gives a shit!
