Based on their interviews, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned.
They had bad policy decisions that would have left our country open to China and others, closed to reopening our economy, and years away from an approved vaccine—putting millions of lives at risk.
We developed American vaccines by an American President in record time, nine months, which is saving the entire world. We bought billions of dollars of these vaccines on a calculated bet that they would work, perhaps the most important bet in the history of the world.
Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx moved far too slowly, and if it were up to them we’d currently be locked in our basements as our country suffered through a financial depression. Families, and children in particular, would be suffering the mental strains of this disaster like never before.
In a fake interview last night on CNN, Dr. Fauci, who said he was an athlete in college but couldn’t throw a baseball even close to home plate, it was a “roller,” tried to take credit for the vaccine, when in fact he said it would take three to five years, and probably longer, to have it approved.
Dr. Fauci was incapable of pressing the FDA to move it through faster. I was the one to get it done, and even the fake news media knows and reports this. Dr. Fauci is also the king of “flip-flops” and moving the goalposts to make himself look as good as possible.
He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China. I closed it against his strong recommendation, which saved many lives.
Dr. Fauci also said we didn’t need to wear masks, then a few months later he said we needed to wear masks, and now, two or three of them. Fauci spent U.S. money on the Wuhan lab in China—and we now know how that worked out.
Dr. Birx is a proven liar with very little credibility left. Many of her recommendations were viewed as “pseudo-science,” and Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would ask not to be in the same room with her.
The States who followed her lead, like California, had worse outcomes on Covid, and ruined the lives of countless children because they couldn’t go to school, ruined many businesses, and an untold number of Americans who were killed by the lockdowns themselves.
Dr. Birx was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice. Her motto should be “Do as I say, not as I do.” Who can forget when Dr. Birx gave a huge mandate to the people of our Nation to not travel, and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgiving—only to have them call the police and turn her in? She then, embarrassingly for her, resigned.
Finally, Dr. Birx says she can’t hear very well, but I can. There was no “very difficult” phone call, other than Dr. Birx’s policies that would have led us directly into a COVID caused depression. She was a very negative voice who didn’t have the right answers. Time has proven me correct.
I only kept Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx on because they worked for the U.S. government for so long—they are like a bad habit!
I voted for trump and was a big supporter. I was conned. He is not different than those con men state legislators who are trying to con their constituents into believing they will fix elections. Now, after they stood by and watched and did nothing as the last one was stolen.
Trump was the man who let fauci run the rona response, even when it was patently obvious fauci was a fraud and a liar and a dem operative.
Now trump wants to con people into thinking he’s against fauci.
We elected him specifically to fire people like fauci. Trump did nothing.
Needless to say, i will not vote for that conman again.
Seems keeping those 2 leeches on the government payroll was just as bad as keeping Wray, Barr, and many others who stabbed you in the back, as well as the front Mr President. Who knows, had you gone with your gut instead of poor advice from disloyal advisors you might still be in charge today.
I would prefer he weighed in on the proposed vaccine passports, mandatory vaccinations and the loss of freedoms along with continued shut downs / school closures and continue to compare and contrast what he did to what Biden is doing. It seems to me they are trying to bait Trump to attack these two nuts and the reality is people have made up their minds one way or the other to believe these ‘experts’. You aren’t going to change anyone’s mind so why rehash the past or give them what they want and take the attention away from today’s issues.
Very unseemly on both sides. Ironic that I would use Truman, a Democrat, as an example; but I don’t recall stories of him blaming his advisors for his decision to use nukes. And talk about a weighty decision!
Trump did a lot of gutsy things during his four years. For him to then collapse under the weight of a pandemic the way he did was, and still is, disappointing.
I wonder if that “The Buck Stops Here” plaque is still somewhere in the Oval Office?
20-20 hindsight. Too late now, and he was wrong anyway. The vaccine is a mistake and masks don’t work. Grade: E.
Go ahead, yell at me.
Trump – – It was YOU who had bad instincts. Fauci and Birx are just going along with the plan to destroy the U.S. economy and you were too blind and bullheaded to see it. In fact YOU became a part of it. The common people here at IOTW were not fooled. If you want to continue to carry the ball repent of your stupidity.
Trump is a business man. He isn’t a doctor.
Unfortunately he believed these two attention whores and then was in too deep. He probably thought people would be mad if he fired them and not vote for him.
I still think those would be the first fired if he had won a second term.
Meadows and Kuschner and Pence were not good advisors for handling a virus.
He should speak up and say it was his biggest mistake.

You’re a troll troll troll
“Trump is a business man. He isn’t a doctor.”
I’m a high school drop out. I knew the score from day one.

If fear of voters was the reason he never would have supported the GOP libs who supported Romney/Care in 2017. But he did, went after this wanting to do away with RPOmneyCare; which angered some conservatives.
I do not buy FEAR as his reason!
I know not the reason; but I know based on the Romney/care attacks it was not fear.
