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.”

I knew that was B.S. the moment I heard it. I virus with that kind of death rate can't propagate quickly, because it'll kill its host before infecting others. Moronic, what people will believe.
It could if it were engineered to be lethal as all hell but only after a lengthy asymptomatic but infectious period. But certainly wouldn't evolve naturally that way.
I knew the early reporting of a >10% fatality rate was bunk because if that were true they wouldn't have told us; a virus that spreads as easily as a cold with a double digit fatality rate would be a civilization ending event no matter what measures world governments take (If needless lockdowns put a hurt on the economy think about what would happen if nearly everyone stopped going in to work for fear of a plague that actually was piling up bodies in the streets); the media would have been ordered to downplay the seriousness of it to delay mass panic as long as possible.
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.
