Dr. Fauci struggles with question about why African country with zero omicron cases is on Biden’s travel ban list

That moment came when Fauci was asked about a specific country on President Biden’s travel restriction list. Fauci clearly struggled to put the proper spin on his answer:

If the travel ban were Trump’s, Christina Pushaw already knows what the answer to that question would be:

But, Biden is in the White House, so we get “I don’t really know” instead.

If after around 2 years, you are still looking for logic in covid related rules, the joke is on you.

SCIENCE, or something…

Trump would have been destroyed in the media for this. https://t.co/RikPyCf318

Wait….they banned travel from African nations that have zero cases? To "buy time". What does that even mean? https://t.co/rlxvmWqBsx

Nope, none of the travel ban and shutdown proponents have ever missed a check, so YOLO.
