Fauci, Top Health Officials Testify Remotely For Senate Hearing | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

86 comments

  1. Dr. Fauci was one of the central figures during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. They’ve got balls to admonish him and his opinion moving forward, especially as we steamroll past 83,000 deaths… Remember when that was a 7, rather than an 8? Seems like ages ago, listening to those twats that think everything is still fine.

    1. @Quittin’ Quarantino Are you honestly suggesting that you can help ME in getting a test? Aqueduct Racetrack, they have protocols set up. The only way I’d be able to get a test currently is if I lied to say I have symptoms, though that will cut into the amount of testing kits that they have readily available. You can’t do anything to help here. Appreciate the notion if the offer is genuine, but only people that NEED the test can get it, lest a lie is told to push ahead of other asymptomatic individuals. There’s nothing fake about the shortage of testing.

      Stop peddling false narratives, please. I have no ill will towards you personally, but every time someone perpetuates a false narrative about the situation at hand, it leads to even more chaos and confusion. Trump is the biggest offender in this regard, considering this discussion that we’re having, among other lies that he’s always corrected on.

    2. @Teresa S Qiittin’ Quarantino An injection or drink of disinfectant or the kool aid like the 900 plus took along with the SO CALLED “REVEREND, about 30 or more years ago.

    3. my caregiver doesnt believe there is a virus and refuses to take it seriously, laughing at me when i beg her to take precaustions.

  2. VOTE trump OUT and LOCK HIM UP DOESN’T MATTER WHO GONNA BE THE SUCCESSOR.
    His small hands full of bloods.

    1. @permeus LOL! Idiots! Trump is going to jail today, well not this year maybe next year? The walls are closing in on Trump! LOL! Well Trump will never escape the cruelty of death by natural causes! You got him democrats! LOL!

    2. @Kwok Wai Lai yes Fauci should be I agree. The sooner Fauci is charged with treason the better.

    3. THANK YOU. HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENT MASS HOMICIDE AT THE VERY LEAST. HE IS FORCING INNOCENT AMERICANS INTO A WAR ZONE.

  3. Again the GOP send R PAUL ENGAGES into child like tactics, the good doctor shut him down no problem

    1. And Senator Rand Paul is a doctor as well…clearly an unqualified one at that, given his desire to choose politics over science.

    2. @James Christie I would not even say politics, I have a feeling there is a lot more to it the way they are acting, him ,mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and the others , Ted Cruz so on ,

    3. @James Christie Look closely at “paul” . Bulbous nose, red patches, unkept. HE IS A DRUNK who wants to march children to their deaths. So let’s see….Marching people back to work to their deaths. Separating families. Disgusting, rampant racism leading to murders. Explosive, unsupported and outright , hysterical , FALSE propaganda. Dramatically outrageous rallies. Experimenting on people (unproven virus vaccines) . A man with the highest office on DRUGS……..Hmmmmm. Any similarities to ADOLPH HITLER?

    4. squamishfish “Child like tactics”? Because they want people’s livelihoods back? Gfys

  4. 147’000 dead, that’s more than 10% of my country’s population! This is incredible, are you guys going for a macabre Guinness world record? How hard can it be for USA to get a load of tests in? I mean when you need to move hundreds of thousands of people across the world with all the logistics including sugar water drinks to fight some dubious war, you do it easily! Come on, someone wants this to continue…

    1. I agree that when they find out the dead people are white + others,maybe they will magically come up. With either the cure of CV19.or we are having a bad dream. GOD BLESS OUR AMYERICAN PEOPLE

    2. PRAY A HEALTHY LIFE FOR ALL, SEE ALL CHILDREN,.GROWN UPS , ALL COLORS.BIG AND SMALL, INCLUDE ALL IN UOUR PRSYERS AND. LIVE AS IF IT IS DONE. SO BE IT.

    3. An imbecile is running the country. He cares about the economy not human life. He doesn’t want to know the true numbers so he hasn’t made companies provide tests. It’s all about him.

    4. Lillian Ballard That’s great, but praying doesn’t figure stuff out (scientifically speaking).

    5. here is a big roblem……….even my state employed social worker doesnt understand why testing is important. she told me that the tests could be negative…………..so stupid…..the state s sending me uneducated caregivers to work for me with no testing but they test them for TB………………..unreal.

  5. 9:25 ok if he is soooooo worried about Fauci been an “”unelected”” official open up a vote today on who gets to be the new president fauci or trump see how that one turns out for you, something tells me we would have president Fauci within a week.

    1. But Romney is a Moron. He adopts the missionary position every time he hears ‘Vietnam’!

    2. nigel cairns // You are as close to being “wrong all the time”, as one needs to be! You are actually being dangerous to yourself and others near you

  6. Tucker Carlson could be talking about himself. Who ever voted for him to spew his lies and propaganda every day?

    1. TriggerVegan If you believe that liberals want to take people’s guns, you have been listening only to the right wing nuts- there’re are plenty of liberals (intelligent thinkers) who live in the boonies and hunt and want to defend their homes against invasion. Don’t get too cocky, Trumpists, we are ready for your BS.

    2. Rainbow Prism Sounds like you think dangerous behavior and being forced to assume unwanted risk is “fun”. Shows poor judgement.

    3. Snaggle Toothed Well, since the commentators’ shows live or die by ad revenue (ads viewed by viewers), it doesn’t matter why you choose to watch. They stay on because of viewership.

    4. @Dolores Reynolds Not the full story. Remember when Laura Ingraham lost half her sponsors _despite_ her viewers remaining the same? Directly communicating with the advertiser to explain you will never again buy their products as they choose to fund white supremacy, homophobia or, in the case of Judge Pirro, dipsomania, is far more effective than simply not watching. I don’t _watch_ Fox, I monitor them.

  7. Trump: “blah, blah, blah, me, me, me, blah, blah, blah, you’re welcome! MAGA! *curtsy*

  8. “Open up the West Wing of the WH for public tours…nothing screams Freedom more than watching politicians scramble to clear the way for the voters!”

  9. These fox people need to be stopped. They are pushing such a bad agenda and misinformation, surely this is criminal?

    1. Ali Potter Fox is Public Enemy Number One. Go destroy Russia. Or better yet. Make Russia Great Again.

    2. Having experienced this virus in the UK someone needs to get you to learn that it’s not scaremongering – it’s real.

    3. David Kelk WTF? I am 76 and have had pneumonia 3 times in 14 months. I taught school. I can’t return to work. I’m terrified every damned day.

    1. @Linda Cloud Observer
      😂🤣😂🤣 Sure, that’s why he looks like he’s been drinking Everclear from a brown paper bag. In protest. I’m gonna use that one, too.

    2. @Linda Cloud Observer …. What planet have you been on. In general bars have been closed as well as restaurants, gyms, salons, etc. To say that’s a Democratic choice is just plain partisan (not factual). Go back to observing clouds 😁

    3. @Linda Cloud Observer
      Here in my state, which is a republican state, some bars flat out refused to shut down (and not a democrat in sight). They were forced to shut down by their fellow republicans; must have been the republicans who wanted RP drunk and disheveled, I guess. Those commie rats! 🤔😂🤣

    4. I don’t like to make fun of people but I have to say it was disturbing to see him. He looked as if he quarantined in a cave.

    1. For us to take notice of the kind of crap that’s being fed to the other half of the population.

    1. Yes! His “meanwhile in the Real World” each night still cracks me up every single time.

  10. When the ignorant President of the USA tweets the entire country is embarrassed with his stupidity and grammatical errors. 🙄

    1. Embarassing? Try living abroad? It is humiliating. I am considering telling people I’m Canadian (just have to work on the accent first):

  11. Hey Carlson you plonker , Doctor Fauci is trying to save life’s, yours included. Carlson, you don’t have the qualifications regarding science on a virus to make comment on his facts. I’ll listen to Doctor Fauci.

    1. poppy ‘The American public has nothing to worry about.’ Dr. Fauci in February.

    2. @Shirley Mccrindle I remember a video where trump said “There are 15 cases of corona virus in the USA & pretty soon there will be zero,” we are quickly approaching 85,000 DEAD OF CORONA VIRUS & who knows how many more died while not in a hospital or nursing home??????
      What does @Quittin’ Quarantino say about that?

  12. Fauchi has had the same job for 40 years .. so he knows his job.. I’ll take that over any politician

    1. Not me, I dont want to get chipped, plus he had the virus patent , this is all about making more money off of a virus that can only be injected inside your body. A virus is not airborne.

    2. @Faye Faye
      Chipped. 😂🤣😂🤣. The only chip you have to worry about is whether you want sour cream or cheddar.

    1. Dead parents that catch the virus from children can’t work to boost the economy and can’t take care of their children.

  13. 43% of Americans “approve” of trump’s handling of the Coronavirus?
    I fear for the country, I really do.

    1. Ian Morgan when I see that number (43%) I have a hard time believing that many people are not able to see the truth, lies, corruption etc that is going on under trump and his minions and they do it blatantly , it’s so baffling!
