Retired is more like it.  He headed NAIAD for 40 years.  He's long past due for retirement.

They will be able to call him to testify but he won't say anything

 

And there's nothing the Republicans can do to him, because he will be retired.

 

This is all about protecting his pension.  He's probably already got a gig set up with Pfizer or some other Big Pharma outfit.  Then there's gonna be the Corporate Media contributor spots and of course the book deal.

I hope I can still have the ability to work at 81.

He's been at NAIAD since the start of the AIDS epidemic.  His memoirs are going to be hellaciously interesting.

Funny thing is, liberals were making that comparison some 35 years ago.  Gays hated Fauci during the early AIDS epidemic.  

 

Guy must have done something right.  Everyone's hated him at one point or another.

Seems to me that he was competent but was terrible in the spotlight.

I have it on good word that Dr. Anthony "The Science" Fauci possesses multiple documents that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton. 

[B-Man]

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams noted Fauci’s announcement by claiming that the doctor never sought the spotlight:

 

Tony never asked for the spotlight. Not once in 40 years. But at times when others ran from it, or sought to use it for personal gain, he’s always done his best to give good advice and help the public. He’s human and humans are imperfect- but that doesn’t make him nefarious.

Trust me, I'm no advocate for the vaccine but I don't know how anyone can draw an accurate conclusion from a data set that has no information on the unvacinated. Additionally, without a 'per 100k' metric, they are painting a computer picture that only gets fuzier the closer you look at it.

[Deranged Rhino]

Masks did nothing - as the science said during the pandemic, but was censored, decried as anti-science, and ridiculed. Now, the same ones who pushed the theology of masks are trying to weasel out of it without admitting they weren't just wrong, they were the anti-science problem they fretted about...

Considering San Diego County probably is one of the closest to "fully vaxxed" counties there are, this on the surface isn't surprising at all even if vaccines are highly effective at mitigating the severity of the illness associated with the virus.  If the #'s are overwhelmingly skewed towards people being vaccinated and those #'s are skewed even further by those in "high risk" groupings then it reasons that having more covid deaths among the vaccinated is a very plausible, if not likely, outcome.

 

But for Facebook or any other censor to flat out call it fake news without pointing out specifically what is fake/wrong is extremely ####ty.

Per 100k and percentage are the same metric, they just use a different denominator. Percentage is cases per 100, yours is per 100,000. That’s not the issue here. They reported percentages, just not the right ones. 
 

The issue is actually listed in that article but they are most certainly trying to mislead people. They show 36 deaths among the fully boosted. Earlier in the text it shows 2,435,363 fully boosted, so that’s 1.48 per 100k. So with 29 deaths among the 338,362 who are not fully vaccinated gives you 8.57 deaths per 100k. So to say that the risk of death is higher in that first group, it’s pure BS.

This I 100% agree on. Instead of taking a chance to educate, which I hope I did a bit by actually doing some basic math, the block it and instead welcome the mouth breather conspiracy folks.

And that's where it would've been REALLY easy to say though TOTAL vaccinated deaths is larger than total unvacinated deaths; the death rates for unvaccinated is significantly higher than those for the vaxxed.

 

Could probably parse it even further and find out the majority of those vaxxed deaths were of very high risk individuals vs likely of lower risk individuals among the unwanted group.
