Fauci Admits to Lying About Herd Immunity

The COVID-19 crisis will be over when the government admits that we have achieved herd immunity — that is, when a certain percentage of the population is immune to the virus, either because they have already had it or because they have taken an effective vaccine. What might that percentage be? Don’t ask the liberal establishment’s favorite expert Anthony Fauci; he admits that he has been lying.

From the New York Times:

In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70, 75 percent” in television interviews. And last week, in an interview with CNBC News, he said “75, 80, 85 percent” and “75 to 80-plus percent.”

In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on … his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.

The little people aren’t ready for the truth. We’re too dumb to understand it. That’s why our rulers have to lie to us for our own good.

Hard as it may be to hear, he said, he believes that it may take close to 90 percent immunity to bring the virus to a halt — almost as much as is needed to stop a measles outbreak.

Fauci lies and unapologetically admits to lying with astonishing arrogance. You can see why Democrat Pols would want to create a holiday in his name.

“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”

Then he admitted,

“We really don’t know what the real number is.”

By the time we get to 90%, he will have raised it to 101%, knowing that if this is ever allowed to end, he will go back to being just another bureaucrat in a country that has far too many of them.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a reporter like Jon Karl to ask, “Why did you lie to the American people, and why should we trust what you have to say now?”

Speaking of lying about herd immunity, this is how the World Health Organization, with which we are not allowed to disagree on pain of being banned by YouTube, defined it recently:

Herd immunity is the indirect protection from an infectious disease that happens when a population is immune either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection. This means that even people who haven’t been infected, or in whom an infection hasn’t triggered an immune response, they are protected because people around them who are immune can act as buffers between them and an infected person. The threshold for establishing herd immunity for COVID-19 is not yet clear.

The page has been updated so as to strongly imply that herd immunity can only be achieved through vaccination:

‘Herd immunity’, also known as ‘population immunity’, is a concept used for vaccination, in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.

Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it. …

Achieving herd immunity with safe and effective vaccines makes diseases rarer and saves lives.

The World Health Organization is headed by a communist who has been accused of war crimes and has served as a pawn of Chinese Communist Party. The “experts” have far more political clout than they have credibility.
