The Crisis remains dire and the answers remain Opaque
Just a while ago medical "expert" or if you will "genius" Dr Fauci gave a brief interview as part of the new Biden daily press conference. There weren't many questions taken and I only want to concentrate on 3 of them.
The first was the first question taken - that of Peter Doocy. The question was - “How helpful would it have been if Amazon had gotten involved in the federal response to COVID-19 before Biden took office?”
Simple question, like asking if somebody adrift in the ocean would be better off with a life preserver.
The answer -“No, I don’t think I could answer that question” and then he added “One of the new things in this administration is if you don’t know the answer, don’t guess, just say you don’t know the answer.”
There was one a ten year old could have answered. Of course, we are finally glad to hear an expert say "I don't know."
Next was the question on why there is a discrepancy between the states asking for more vaccine and the states having considerable amounts of the vaccine still shelved from the original delivery.
Answer - Dr Fauci wanted to take a look at it. Can you imagine?
Finally was the final question of the interview from a leftist hack: Don't you feel better now that you can say what you want amid plenty of laughter from the other hacks.
Dr Fauci showing his real colors by saying he felt "liberated", even though he did a lot of speaking for the Trump administration, even though it was he who wanted the shutdown and got the President to do it.
Dr Fauci has played it cozy for about a year.
We got to see the real Anthony Fauci today.

We know as much now as we did before the interview.
I was unaware of this. Do you have a link to more information?
Thanks. Part of the problem seems to be rules on distribution. Making sure that only certain people get the vaccine seems to be a bit more draconian than is useful. Especially where Cuomo is concerned.
The rigid regulations about who gets it first was the devil in the detail.
It's really insane. The real value in vaccinations is getting them to as many people as soon as possible. Vaccinating a healthy 25 year old helps prevent the spread of the disease as much, if not more so, than someone 65 years old. Every person vaccinated protects everyone else. It's infuriating that hospitals and other locations are letting the vaccine spoil simply because the "Right" type of bureaucratically approved person isn't there to be vaccinated.
In some cases nurses have declined to take it and according to the rules they can't extend it to the next priority group. I believe NYC tried to change that recently.
Now it looks like the feds will be giving the states money to train people and create places where people can go for their vaccine.
It was pathetic to watch.
Well, in Cuomo's case I think he wants to portray a certain image and it's doing more harm than good. However, I think the biggest problem continues to be what it's been throughout the pandemic. No one has had to react to something like this in a hundred years and we were unprepared. It's nice that they've been planning for months and all, but practice is what identifies the problems. The other problem, almost as big is politics getting in the way. At least, that is what it looks like to me.
Right now he is asking if the state of New York can purchase the vaccine directly from the producers.
Hmm. It would appear that he isn't on board with supporting Biden, then. Which, from what little I know of Cuomo, doesn't surprise me. I think he'd be the Democratic version of Trump should he ever make it to the White House.
I suppose not only does he wish to buy direct, he would want federal dollars to pay for it.
Lol, could be!
I suppose not only does he wish to buy direct, he would want federal dollars to pay for it.
He will need to be reimbursed. I suspect Pelosi has it buried nicely in the Covid relief bill.
what a crock of trumpster bullshit.
If we can't do better than Trump, this country is doomed.
What are you on about? I could have missed something, but what does Amazon have to do with the Federal response to Covid? What does the question even mean?
You didn't miss anything Thomas. Amazon isn't and hasn't had anything to do with the Federal response, NOR did the Feds ask them to be, before or AFTER the inauguration.
Amazon INFORMED the Biden Administration that they have a contract with a third party health care company to administer vaccine to Amazon employees when they are made available. Amazon is pushing for their employees to be next in line. I doubt they are the only ones that have done so.
Of course to the intellectually challenged, that means that Amazon and Biden waited until Trump was gone to perform a miracle.
It's just MORE hyperbolic bullshit.
BTW, if there are those that insist that Amazon's participation would have and could have made a difference, perhaps they should recognize that long ago Trump could have used the DPA to require Amazon and many others to step up. Of course, he didn't.
