'Get him away from cameras': Dr. Anthony Fauci stops by to hammer the final nails into the FDA and CDC's COVID19 credibility coffins [videos]

In these confusing times, it’s comforting to know that we have the steady leadership of Dr. Anthony Fauci to keep us informed of The Science™.

He spoke today about the FDA and CDC’s call to pull the Johnson & Johnson COVID19 vaccine because six people out of millions experienced blood clotting after being vaccinated:

“We are totally aware that this is a very rare event. We want to get this worked out as quickly as we possibly can and that’s why you see the word ‘pause,’” Dr. Fauci says following the decision to pause vaccinations using J&J's single-dose shot https://t.co/TlBHFj0hrq pic.twitter.com/V7CaBuljVj

Dr. Fauci explains what the FDA and CDC will be investigating about the J&J vaccine during the pause and calls this episode ‘an unusual occurrence’ pic.twitter.com/w1eyaAnfsZ

Full Fauci quote on whether J&J vaccine will return to market: "I wouldn't want to speculate as to what would happen often when you see things like this, that you pause and come back. Whether or not that happens now I can't guarantee it…"

Adds decision will be "days to weeks"

Fauci on the J&J pause: “I think it’s a very strong argument for safety actually.”

— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) April 13, 2021

"The fact that a pause was done is a testament to how seriously we take safety," Dr. Fauci days of the J&J coronavirus vaccine as regulators review a handful of rare blood clot cases. "It's a very strong argument for safety, actually."

Fauci just lost me, permanently. @CDCgov @US_FDA decision-making & messaging are abysmal, profoundly damaging.

JNJ & AZ vaccines have already saved millions of lives.

Don't stop process because you're concerned about poss side effects for 1 out of every 1 million patients. https://t.co/51L2JGpQle

If the public health depends on people like Anthony Fauci calling the shots (no pun intended), then the prognosis isn’t looking too great right now.

I'm only following this is on twitter, but seems like Fauci in five minutes went from saying J&J pause will be just a few days to saying it might never be lifted. pic.twitter.com/IwzahRDd6F

I…just can't.

This is basically as bad as the last couple years. The right hand doesn't have a clue what the left hand is doing. pic.twitter.com/s6VlaYTJUV

Ok Fauci is officially a clown show. I gave the guy A TON of leeway and benefit of the doubt because I didn't think some of the earliest criticisms were more than partisan prejudice, but he has proven his harshest critics to be understated in their disapproval of him
