Dr Fauci Wants Trump to tell Republicans to get Vaccinated

In an interview on Fox News today, Dr Fauci warns that based on what’s happening in Europe, another Covid surge could come to America. And he wants Trump to step up and allow his Republicans to get vaccinated.

Asked by Chris Wallace what could be done to combat vaccine skepticism in the U.S., particularly among Republicans, Fauci urged Trump to tell his supporters to get vaccinated.

“It would be very helpful for the effort for that to happen. I’m very surprised by the number of Republicans who say they won’t get vaccinated,” he said.

“I think it would make all the difference in the world” if Trump were to express support for vaccines, Fauci said. “He’s a widely popular person among Republicans.”

“I just don’t get it, Chris, why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” he added.

Rachel Maddow’s Urgent Plea – Whatever you do, “don’t get this thing”

Rachel Maddow did her show from her home on Thursday and explained why she was missing for the last few weeks. The emotional MSNBC host explained that her partner of 21 years, Susan Mikula, tested positive for Covid-19 and almost died from the illness. Maddow pleaded with everyone to do whatever you have to do to keep safe, “don’t get this thing.”

“Don’t get this thing. Do whatever you can to keep from getting it,” she said. “For Thanksgiving next week, you really are going to have to just have it at home without people coming over. And yeah, it’s going to suck, but that’s going to suck so much less than you or somebody in your family getting this and getting sick. Trust me.”

We’ve Hit the Highest Daily Coronavirus Death Rate Recorded So Far

Donald Trump lied to us again!

Remember when he promised that after the elections we would all stop taking about Coronavirus? Well, we still are talking. Why? Because the Coronavirus is worse now than it’s ever been. The latest data shows the highest daily death total seen in this country with 1707 deaths recorded in one day!

At this rate, coronavirus is killing at least one American every minute of the day.

At least 1,707 new Covid-19 deaths were reported Tuesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That’s the highest daily death toll since May 14.
 
And it’s only going to get worse, said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at George Washington University School of Medicine.
“The horrible death count that we saw yesterday in the United States … reflects the number of people who were being infected three weeks ago — two to three weeks ago, because that’s the lag,” Reiner said Wednesday.
 
“On average, two to three weeks ago, we were seeing 70,000 to 80,000 (new) cases per day. Yesterday, there were about 155,000 (new) cases. So if you’re alarmed at the 1,700 deaths today, two to three weeks from now, we’re going to see 3,000 deaths a day.”

Dr. Fauci Says Trump Hasn’t attended a Coronavirus Meeting in “Several Months”

Confirms what we already know. Donald Trump has better things to take care of than worrying about the health of the American people. If they die, they die. Instead, Donald Trump is working on self preservation and trying to win an election he’s already lost.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, revealed on Sunday morning that President Donald Trump hasn’t attended a White House coronavirus task force meeting in “several months,” adding that “it would be better” if he could start working with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team on the public health response to the pandemic.

During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Fauci expressed cautious optimism about the impact that incoming vaccines could have on the raging crisis, saying we could see the nation start a return to normalcy by the second quarter of next year. At the same time, he said that “it is possible” that there could be another 200,000 American deaths over the next few months.
