Dr. Anthony Fauci isn't 'trying to be overly enthusiastic' when he says we're in 'the bottom of the sixth' inning in the war on COVID19 [video]

We’re not out of the woods yet, but in terms of weathering the pandemic, things are looking pretty good for the U.S. Definitely better than they were looking this time last year.

And we can’t have that, can we, Dr. Anthony Fauci?

Wouldn’t want people getting their hopes up or anything. That would leave Dr. Fauci out of the job.

The CDC says that ~575,000 Americans died during the coronavirus pandemic thus far, so this analogy would only really make sense if Fauci thinks another ~ 287,500 Americans are still going to die despite plummeting deaths & cases and huge numbers of people getting vaccinated. https://t.co/3kTKUBz3o2

It’s almost as if Fauci needs this pandemic more than America needs him.

Control. That’s what it’s all about.

Hard to argue otherwise.

And hard to argue that this will ultimately turn out well for him.

Must. Keep. Everyone. Afraid.

Dr. Fauci’s 15 minutes of fame is up and he’s desperately trying to stay for 15 more.

He’s literally got nothing left at this point.

There’s a fame whore on the mound who needs to be benched. https://t.co/bOvqCMTm4p

Then maybe it’s time to pull Fauci and bring in a reliever.

Pull him. He's been in long enough. https://t.co/quL52OPN5o

Better retire him, just to be sure.
