  1. 🍎Wow, Donald disastrous management of 🦇coronavirus to cost him the presidency?🔮

  2. The only member of the Administration who is honest and straight forward about the virus.

  3. On Gilligan’s island

    They always believed the Professor

    Not the Millionaire *

    * donald may not actually be a millionaire.

    1. Love it.
      Great comparison.
      As Jarry said, he’s more the bumbling Gilligan figure, just not lovable.

    2. Cant wait for joe biden to run this country with his yet to be named female black VP. He is very smart unlike drump and he is not a racist like drump so he will be good president because he doesnt pay for the kkk like drump.We will finally have a minority president thats not white supremicist like donald dum drump

  4. Not a big deal for Fauci, a quick glance at reality discredits everything about trump and this administration.

  5. Any good scientist, like Fauci, will change his position when more scientifically verified data comes in because the scientist is interested in discovering the truth. So, of course, Fauci changed his position as we learned more about the coronavirus. This is the best course of action. To do otherwise, which is what Trump has done, leads to the inability to change to meet the ever changing circumstances of this pandemic.

    1. HOLD ON A SECOND. The who US government from Trump all the way down FAILED miserabily, not only compared to other countries, but look at what happened in China in early January and Febuary. I think that speaks for itself. And look at how everyone in China was wearing a mask (yet Fauci still said masks are not needed). Turns out they are crucial in preventing large scale spread. Not to mention all the data about the virus from China, such as the 2% death rate, turned out to be true. American government was too busy making up conpiracies about China and shot themselves in the foot.

  6. Just counting the days until someone throws a tomato or something at him while yelling to get off the stage on 20 January 2021…the day he has to vacate his current residence.

    1. Aren’t we all. This is what we are waiting for. The moment Trump is removed and tried for his crimes. Righteousness relies on it.

    2. When he loses he won’t stick around to hand over to Biden. He won’t be a gracious loser.

  7. Just because Donny Darko had “the clap” a few times does not make him an infectious disease specialist!

  8. Hubby and I are in our 70’s: old enough to remember when AIDS/HIV first emerged in the early 1980s. Dr. Fauci in those days was articulate and dedicated. But viruses over time will mutate and, change. As AIDS has done over decades. It was a virtual death sentence back then. Now with anti retrovirals, it is a manageable condition. That didn’t happen by accident (ACT UP and ongoing medical research had much to do with the development of treatments). Through it all, Dr. Fauci has been a trusted, powerful voice. A brand new illness COVID 19 has recently emerged; there is still much that we do not know and, have yet to learn. Which would account for the changing approaches, and protocols. Fine by me. But for the Trump WH to get a laundry list of Dr. Fauci’s so called ‘errors’ together and then fling it in the man’s face is petty and malicious in the extreme. Then again, considering the source, is anyone surprised? I trusted Dr. Fauci years ago when he kept Americans informed while the AIDS crisis unfolded. And I place my confidence squarely in him today – as he educates us about COVID19. From a place of wisdom, medical skill – and integrity.

    1. Thank you Ma’am for your reflection and wisdom. Wishing you and the husband blessings and good health.

    2. Cant wait for joe biden to run this country with his yet to be named female black VP. He is very smart unlike drump and he is not a racist like drump so he will be good president because he doesnt pay for the kkk like drump.We will finally have a minority president thats not white supremicist like donald dum drump

    3. One of the statement they trotted out was not his complete statement. He went on to clarify it could get worse

  9. Diogenes: “I am looking for an honest man.”
    “Sorry, Buddy, the president fired them all.”

    1. @SunriseLAW you totally missed the point and my joke to think that I have joined morons who believe that the pandemic is a hoax.

    2. @Pierre Bibeau Dr. Fauci is an honorable man who does his job with dignity to serve the American people. He is non partisan and has worked harmoniously with six former administrations. He has the interest of people at heart and speaks the truth about the seriousness of the pandemic because he cares about human lives. The administration doesn’t like anyone who speaks the truth. They would like him to downplay the reality that the pandemic is a problem. Some people still believe the president who says it’s a hoax when American is leading the world in the number of cases and deaths.

    3. @Agathac Cheb I noticed your point. Now please…cover it back up with your hat because it is gross. Thank you.

    4. @SunriseLAW absolutely – how could I not vote for someone with the breadth and depth of knowledge he has. Especially when he deals with all those so called scientists who claim to be experts in their fields – all those lying liars and the lies they tell!

  10. You know, even on “Gilligan’s Island” they were smart enough to listen to the professor and not the millionaire.

  11. Dr. Fauci: “A very honest and sincerely man who has only one goal, and that is to protect the American people against the corona virus”

    1. @Tom K He was sent there to oversee the research as per the pandemic office Obama set up. However, he was withdrawn because Trump closed down the Pandemic office. Therefore, we had NO EARLY WARNING!!! that this virus had escaped the lab. Thank you Trump!

    2. @iGot7 Stay-Aroha-Army-OneIt-Once We dont know how the virus went from bats to people.I told you fauci funded the program in china when it was banned in the US.That was a bad decision because china was in over theyre head with this level of research.I think its relevant and people should know.

  12. Let’s see: Gong Show host, vs. Dr. Fauci.
    tRump: “I’m going with that buffoon from the Gong Show!”

    1. Cant wait for joe biden to run this country with his yet to be named female black VP. He is very smart unlike drump and he is not a racist like drump so he will be good president because he doesnt pay for the kkk like drump.We will finally have a minority president thats not white supremicist like donald dum drump

  13. Downplay Trump simply gets a kick out of bullying anyone much smarter than him, and that’s like, almost anybody..

    1. @Hal 9000 LMAO is that why all the data they released about the virus turned out to be true? And how US just jnored all their warnings because they were “lying”? xD

  14. Trump: Fauci got it WRONG!
    Also Trump: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear”

  15. The “war time president” and his corrupt administration need to held accountable for their war crimes. We are lucky Fauci has done what he has done to help. Without him more would be dead!

    1. @Tom K you mean there aren’t 130k people dead?

      The Russians didn’t take a bounty on our troops?

    2. @Tom K I am awake, Rome is literally burning and your boy is running around saying everything is fine.

    3. @nathan mckenzie you are in a panic for no reason.Rome is not burning.And i dont have a boy ive been democrat my whole life .,corruption on both sides but left media has divided the country because of theyre agenda..Be open to other opinions. try a search outside of google Im not your enemy.

  16. The only reason Dr. Faucci has not been briefing the “President” LATELY is because little insecure DON THE CON doesn’t want the world to know how much he has been covering up is lying about the pandemic response in the U.S.! He also became jealous of the positive media attention Faucci was getting because we all know he doesn’t like anyone outshining him like the true narcissist he is. I applaud Faucci for caring about public interest OVER his position at the White House unlike all the others. Kudos to him for stepping out and speaking his mind to protect us instead of his own self interests!

  17. What’s funny is Fauci was around for 6 Presidents, but he’s a problem. P45 is the only one of them to fail, let me see. Oh yeah p45 takes no responsibility. Who would have guessed. November where are you?
