Dr. Fauci: "We have got to do the things… that we need to do to turn this around… When you do it properly, you bring down those cases… We have done it in New York. New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly…"https://t.co/AyhXRvnFDd pic.twitter.com/0NuHmJdt3m

New York had 411,000 cases and more than 32,000 deaths.
This is the graphic Google has when you search “New York covid deaths:”
That’s not a nice, flattened curve. That is exactly what we wanted to avoid in the first place.
The only reason NYC is tapering off is that they killed off a large percentage of the COVID vulnerable population already.
The only way to interpret this as “they did it correctly” is to take an instantaneous snapshot in time and compare current deaths to other states. Not to compare the area under the curve since the beginning of the outbreak.
Fauci is literally borrowing from 1984.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
the 32,000 plus people that New York killed back in April no longer exist in our memory. Only the 11 dead on the 16th matter and that is less than the 156 that died in Florida on the same day. That Florida has only had a total of 4,894 deaths, barely 15% of New York’s doesn’t matter. That’s all history and nothing before Friday matters.
This is deliberate.
Andrew Cuomo is selling a propaganda poster called “New York Tough” which celebrates NY defeating the virus.
That mountain is 32,000 dead New Yorkers.
The center of his poster is 32,000 dead New Yorkers, but he’s treating it as some sort of victory.
But that is history and it doesn’t matter. Only yesterday matters.
So therefore New York did it right.
The word Holocaust comes from Ancient Greek meaning sacrifice by fire. It was used for the mass murder of the Jews under Nazi Germany because of the use of crematoriums to kill and incinerate the bodies.
The word Holodomor comes from Ukrainian meaning “great death by starvation.”
I would like to put forward the word Hololoimos (pronounced – holo-loy-mas), from the Greek meaning “sacrifice by pestilence” to describe what was done to New York by Cuomo and de Blasio. Their bad policies and mismanagement sacrificed thousands of New Yorkers with the virus.
And just like the Holodomor, where the New York Times provided cover for Stalin because they were fellow travelers who believed the Soviet system, the Fauci and the media are providing cover for Cuomo and de Blasio because they are believers in Progressive Democrats.
Fauci, Cuomo, and anyone else who peddles this message can get fucked.
And I was trying to figure out what to do with this meme… Not anymore
Possible alternate caption
When you realize that Cuomo will never be charged for the mass murder of New York citizens.
Fauci can go an F himself anyway. For someone who is supposedly an “expert” he is wrong more often than he is correct. And, instead of fessing up and explaining that he was wrong, and the reason why, he instead doubles down. “Worse long term effects are coming….” With zero explanation.
This guy should be getting zero air time.
Hear, hear! The left’s lionizing of Dr. Doom is sickening as well.
Has he gotten ANYTHING right? He predicted more deaths in the US than have occurred in the whole world, even counting the inflated numbers.
That is the most pretentious propaganda I’ve seen yet. “New York Tough” my arse, you city ppl live in an anthill and are at the constant mercy of your rulers *and* the criminals cops won’t arrest.
If being weak is tough, I don’t want any of it
Have you guys read the transcript and seen these comments in context?
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-fauci-says-the-u-s-can-get-control-of-the-pandemic
I think the beginning the context here would make sense.
“Woodruff:
Let me ask you, Dr. Fauci, about testing.”
Honestly, it appears that Fauci is talking about ramping up and deploying testing most effectively. Has New York done a good job with ramping up testing? Well, aside from Rhode Island which has 5% of New York’s population, yes, New York has delivered the most tests per 1M population. I don’t think that NY responded well to the pandemic, but in terms of test deployment, maybe they did OK, at least since the peak of their infections in mid April.
Anyway, take a look and see what you think.
At this point … I’m not inclined to trust anything that comes out of the New York (city or state) government, nor much from Dr. Fauci.
I don’t appreciate being lied to. As a researcher, I especially don’t appreciate it when a supposed scientist lies due to political pressure. Speak the truth, or don’t comment.
When he announced that masks are of no benefit, I turned my forty-years-of-nursing self to TDW-Mark II, and thought out loud: “So, all those years, all those isolation patients, and, here, I’ve been doing it all wrong!”
Don’t bullshit a bullshitter, Tony. I was a nursing supervisor for many years. If your people believe you tell the truth as you know it, and have their backs, they will stand with you. If you lie, well, you stand alone.
Have fun with that, Tony.
