Dr. Anthony Fauci reappeared in the White House press briefing Thursday, admitting that he felt more liberated speaking about the coronavirus under President Joe Biden, rather than former President Donald Trump.
New York Times reporter Michael Scheer asked Fauci to share his emotional thoughts about the change of administrations and speaking about the virus going forward.
"The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what evidence, what the science is and know that that's it, let the science speak, it is somewhat of a liberating feeling," he said.
Scheer noted that Fauci had already joked about feeling liberated under President Joe Biden.
"You said I was joking about it.
I was very serious," Fauci said with a laugh.
Fauci said that he did not take "pleasure" in contradicting Trump but said he experienced relief at being able to talk like a scientist.
He also said that he was pleased that he did not have to contradict the president on issues of science.
"It was very clear that there were things that were said, be it regarding things like Hydroxychloroquine and other things like that, that really was uncomfortable because they were not based on scientific fact."
Comment: Translation: "Now I can continue to poo poo any and all of the research and evidence regarding the proven beneficial effects of Hydroxychloroquine and other things like that - that individuals can take in lieu of fast-tracked and very likely dangerous vaccines we'd like everyone and their mother to take yesterday."
Malevolent technocrat
Fauci used CNN as a venue to continue trashing the Trump administration and anyone not buying into his Big Lies:
Dr. Anthony Fauci continues to ramp up his criticism of the Trump administration, telling CNN - a network whose reporting he directly contradicted only a day before - saying a "lack of candor" likely led to unnecessary deaths.
After a Thursday press briefing where he mostly fielded questions about the benefits of working with the Biden administration over Trump's, Fauci joined CNN on Friday morning and took similar questions.
Asked if a "lack of candor or facts" from former President Trump led to contributed to the death toll from Covid-19, Fauci laid into the previous administration.
"You know, it very likely did," he said, adding that he didn't want his words to become a "soundbite," but continuing anyway.
"I think if you just look at that, you can see that when you're starting to go down paths that are not based on any science at all, that is not helpful at all, and particularly when you're in a situation of almost being in a crisis with the number of cases and hospitalizations and deaths that we have," he said.
Fauci has praised the Biden administration and claimed they will "let the science speak" and restore trust in public health officials.
"We've had a lot of divisiveness, we've had facts that were very, very clear that were questioned. People were not trusting what health officials were saying, there was great divisiveness, masks became a political issue," Fauci, who was criticized multiple times publicly by Trump, said.
Fauci's sudden turn on the Trump administration - which he had previously praised while working with - has led to a wave of criticism, with many using Fauci's own words, including a recommendation early in the pandemic not to wear masks, to contradict the tone he is taking now.
LIKE a scientist. Which he’s clearly not. Talentless, psychopathic, lying leech.
