The way the news capitalizes on death is sickening.

He said don't wear a mask then he says wear a mask...he said everything is going back to normal in December then he says everyone should be wearing masks till 2022.... WHO SHOULD I BELIEVE?

[brianshorey]

There's plenty of blame to go around, but this is the guy that told us that masks cause more harm than good a year ago. He's responsible for a lot of the confusion and mistrust.

The highest paid government employee is telling you that you cant go out to make a living

[michaelschnitzer]

This man needs to retire and donate some of the millions he’s made off this

One of my friends crashed his 4 wheeler and died from a head injury in November of 2020. It was ruled as a Covid death. What a crock.

[bigmike]

Nobody cares you said there would be millions and what does this guy even do besides get on TV?

[Pystdammit]

Strange how cancer and heart disease has been defeated and almost nobody has died of that in the last

[patrickcoyne]

[Vicpoint]

More people pretending that the CDC didn't admit the numbers were fake when this whole thing started.

[susangehler]

When you don't make a difference between dying WITH covid from dying FROM covid people begin to wonder.

[johnreynolds]

I'm confused which Fauci is this: 2.0? 3.0? 4.0? 5.0? Want to be sure I download the most current Fauci.

Master of Psychological war and fearmongering

[krl]

are we paying this guy every time he does an interview or is he privately funded?

[dilldoe]

There’s not 500, 000. Cdc hasn’t recorded anything else since this started.

[incarau]

Guys when are you going to Interview an HONEST PATHOLOGIST about CoronaVirus, and he will tell us the THRUTH.

[supporterofeverythingyouli]

One tends to wonder what the TRUTH actually is. 🤔

[noahziegler]
