Third time - why didn't the good doctor just answer the question?

All the Congressman was asking is when the numbers will be low enough - what is the goal?

Dr. Fauci just kept repeating the numbers are too high - he never said what the goal is. What are the numbers they are looking for.

Six times and he never answered - why?

Now you know what people in the room were thinking?! That is amazing.

Are we supposed to know what they are thinking or not?

Nope -that is why I am wondering why he just didn't answer the question.

Interesting how far people will go to defend their delusions while condemning the delusions of others. The world is run on the illusions and fantasies of man. No wonder God separates Himself.

There is only one guarantee in life. Regardless of what is going on, there is a matter of profit behind it, and the players are not what they seem.

Because it's not up to him. The government can reopen at anytime -- with or without Dr. Fauci's blessing.

Why then is Jordan so desperate to get it unearned?

Direct quotes from that interview:

"The risk right now, today, currently, is really relatively low for the American public. But that could change, because what's going on outside of the United States, particularly obviously in China and other countries in which there are travel related cases."

"This could evolve into a global pandemic, which could then have significant implications for us... I we need to realise that this could change".

"Keep in mind that the coronavirus situation could change, which is the reason why we're taking it very seriously. It could be a very serious threat."

"People wearing masks right now is just not relevant. You dont need to be walking around with a mask right now. Masks, quite frankly, are more important for people who are infected, to prevent them from infecting someone else".
Dr Fauci was clearly not saying that coronavirus wasn't a problem, just that it wasn't a problem for Americans right now. He clearly says, on multiple occasions, that this could change and coronavirus could become a global pandemic and it could be a very serious threat.
Science deniers rarely read beyond the headlines.

Not understanding:

1. What government is not opened?

2. Fauci leads the pandemic response - public places closed mainly on his say so - why doesn't he know if and when they can open?

Like when the daily covid rate drops to ................ that is what Jordan was asking.

3. Please also explain what you meant by

Why then is Jordan so desperate to get it unearned?
What is he trying to get unearned and how does he earn it?

Maybe you two should get together - one doesn't think anyone knows the answer and the other has answered it .... twice.

You have unreasonable expectations. We know that the numbers are too high right now. When relies on quite a factors. The number one controlling factor may be when and how many people get vaccinated. If quite a few people refuse to get vaccinated that means that the risk will be with us longer. If everyone gets vaccinated the threat will be much shorter. Are you for enforced vaccinations? That is about the only way that a solid date could be given.

It is unreasonable to identify the Covid rate is low enough to be able to go to church again?

Fauci siad a number of times 60,000 was to high - ok - what is the acceptable rate? 10,000? 30,000?

We will deal with the disease for years - what is the rate that we can say it is under control?

That is all Jordan wanted from the man who is key for setting standards.

Jesse White for years was the face of Maytag. Did that make him an expert or a mouthpiece? Fauci is a mouthpiece with an old degree and at best could be considered a lobbyist within the White House for decades also, speaking only within the US as a representative for an industry that extends far beyond the border. His own wife, a Bioethicist, would be better to question. Either way, if the industry behind him is playing this by ear, then how can he be expected to give unwavering advice based on the lead he must follow. Why isn't a higher up mouthpiece like Gates who is chin deep actively and financially in all this, being questioned?

That is a silly comparison. REALLY silly.
Jesse White was an actor. He was not a mechanic.
In contrast, Dr. Fauci is a medical doctor with extensive experience in dealing with infectuous disease.
Here is a biography:
https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/anthony-s-fauci-md-bio
Here is part of it:

Dr. Fauci also is the longtime chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation. He has made many contributions to basic and clinical research on the pathogenesis and treatment of immune-mediated and infectious diseases. He helped pioneer the field of human immunoregulation by making important basic scientific observations that underpin the current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response. In addition, Dr. Fauci is widely recognized for delineating the precise ways that immunosuppressive agents modulate the human immune response. He developed effective therapies for formerly fatal inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's granulomatosis), and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. A 1985 Stanford University Arthritis Center Survey of the American Rheumatism Association membership ranked Dr. Fauci’s work on the treatment of polyarteritis nodosa and granulomatosis with polyangiitis among the most important advances in patient management in rheumatology over the previous 20 years.​



That said, he does not make the policy. He advised Trump but Trump did what he wanted, which was downplaying the seriousness of the virus and making bad claims, like that we would be open by Easter 2020, or that the virus would disappear after the election.

Politicians make the policy. IF they are wise, they listen to sound advice.

Not understanding:

1. What government is not opened?

The one that's responsible for securing all the freedoms and liberties that Jordan claims to have lost.

...or is he simply talking out of his hat?

2. Fauci leads the pandemic response - public places closed mainly on his say so - why doesn't he know if and when they can open?

No... Public places are closed mainly on the government's say so. Government officials who have chosen to follow Dr. Fauci's medical advice.

Those very same officials can choose to stop following his advice at any time.

Like when the daily covid rate drops to ................ that is what Jordan was asking.

Doctors are trained not to give patients absolute numbers in their prognoses because no two patients respond to the same disease in the same way.

No oncologist, for example, is going to tell a person with cancer, "I'm afraid you only have ______years to live." Because honestly, who knows?

Rather, they'll keep it general: "The 5-year survival rate for this stage of pancreatic cancer is 13%," and let the patient do the math on their own.

Fauci knows this because:

1: He's a medical doctor, and
2: He's competent.

...which puts him at least one up on Rep. Jordan.

3. Please also explain what you meant by


What is he trying to get unearned and how does he earn it?

He wants Fauci's "a-ok" to return to normal -- or at the very least, an answer that Jordan can then turn around and blame should the US find itself in a relapse. "He told us it was okay! We trusted him to make the call for us! This is not our fault!"

As for how to earn it, well... I can only tell you how not to earn it: by doing what Jordan did -- try to browbeat one out of Dr. Fauci.

That approach was neither productive nor intelligent -- and to top it off by taking a swipe at Rep. Waters... while she's still sitting right there?

That was just a bonehead move on Jordan's part.

Simply making it more obvious the role Fauci plays.

In contrast, Dr. Fauci is a medical doctor with extensive experience in dealing with infectuous disease.
Yadda yadda. I'll get out my idol dusting cloth. I'd like to see both sides of the issue (so called experts) face off on national tv (and not like some lame presidential election debate). Then we might find out who is the globalist or who has the people's actual interest at heart.
