Fauci Drops The COVID Bombshell Biden Isn’t Ready For

White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Biden regime and also Trump administration’s most prominent voice during the COVID panic, claimed Tuesday that he does not expect another significant rise of COVID-19 outbreaks in the United States.

“I would not be surprised at all, if we do see somewhat of an uptick,” Fauci said during a Washington Post live event. “The extent of it and the degree to which it impacts seriousness of disease like hospitalizations and death remains to be seen. I don’t really see, unless something changes dramatically, that there would be a major surge.”

Fauci made those remarks in response to a question about whether the development of the BA.2 Omicron subvariant in the U.K. and other areas of Europe would create a viral surge in the United States. He claimed that the U.S. has typically followed patterns observed over the sea, and also that the rising prevalence of the BA.2 variant, lessening restrictions on face-masks, and waning vaccine effectiveness are all aspects America has in common with Europe.

“What the UK is not seeing‑‑and that’s the good news‑‑is an increase of severity or an increase in the use of intensive care unit beds or an increase in the all‑cause mortality, which means that despite the fact that there are cases going up, there does not appear to be any increase in the degree of severity of the outbreak,” Fauci said. “So, hopefully, when we do‑‑and I think it will be that we do‑‑see an uptick, hopefully, it won’t be accompanied by an increase in hospitalizations, but it just remains to be seen.”

When asked whether policymakers would have the political will to reimpose coronavirus constraints if that became necessary, Fauci offered a candid answer, anticipating there would certainly be resistance.

“I don’t think there’s much stomach for people to all of a sudden turn around, even if there is an uptick. I think that the desire to continue to go along in a way that is normal, as it were, I think there’s going to be a lot of inertia, if not active pushback in people. If it is required to increase or go back to some of the mitigation, I think it’s going to be a tough time convincing people to do that.”

He added that the government might attempt to interest people who are “high-risk” from the infection to be “prudent” and follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations in case of another rise.

“But that’s all hypothesis. We don’t know. Hopefully, we will not be put into that position, but if we are, we should be willing to and flexible enough to respond,” Fauci said.

Still, that does not mean the pandemic has ended, according to Fauci.

“We can’t claim absolute victory at this point. They’re still viral dynamics. We still have a highly transmissible virus among us, particularly the BA.2 which has a greater degree of transmissibility than an already highly transmissible BA.1, which is the original omicron. So the advice is proceed with life as normally as you possibly can, but be prepared that we might need to make modifications if things change,” Fauci said.

He further suggested Congress be prepared to pass added COVID-19 relief and funding that will “prepare us for the next challenge.”

Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has actually made known her wish for Congress to pass an added $45 billion for oral antiviral therapies, monoclonal antibody therapies, and various other pre-exposure prophylaxis, COVID-19 screening programs, new injection research study, as well as worldwide vaccination programs.
