Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly said in a phone interview that he has been deliberately changing his public statements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t think people were ready to hear his true beliefs, according to the New York Times.
Fauci has been slowly increasing the number of Americans he says need to be vaccinated for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity” in public statements, the New York Times reported Thursday morning. He reportedly told the Times he has done so “partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”

That's actually what made me think, at first, it might be serious. The very early days of the reporting were all downplaying it, and telling people that anyone takingbit seriously was a racist crazy person.
It's ironic that in the beginning, if you were to be serious about the disease, you're called crazy and paranoid. But now, a year later when the virus hs evolved to be less deadly and with improved therapeutics and vaccines, now people are more scared than ever.
