It seems that the diminutive epidemiologist, Dr. Anthony Faucci was "hesitant" to tell us the truth early on inn the Covid pandemic, simply because Americans weren't ready to hear the truth.
The article explains that, early in 2020, Fauci was telling people that society reaches herd immunity when about 60-70% of people are immune. A month ago, he claimed herd immunity hits at about "75 to 80-plus percent." Now he says it needs to be greater than 90%. (That's still better than the World Health Organization, which has jettisoned all scientific knowledge to say there is no naturally acquired herd immunity. Only vaccinations provide immunity.) Why the lies? Fauci explains:
Dr. Fauci said that weeks ago, he had hesitated to publicly raise his estimate because many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines, which they would need to accept almost universally in order for the country to achieve herd immunity.
Now that some polls are showing that many more Americans are ready, even eager, for vaccines, he said he felt he could deliver the tough message that the return to normal might take longer than anticipated.
So, Doc, you lied to us because we were not ready to hear the truth? Then why should we believe anything that you say now? From you own words you tell me that you will lie to me when it suits your purposes. What are your purposes? Which is the lie, which is the truth?
Doc Faucci should immediately retire in shame. From his own lips he tells us that he lied to us. There is no reason to believe anything he says from this point forward.
My own Doc and I had this very conversation during my last visit. We were talking about trust and science, and he told me that if he ever lied to a patient, he would feel that he had violated his oath as a physician and would feel honor-bound to close his practice and retire. Medicine requires no less than a physician telling the patient the unvarnished truth.
Doc Faucci admits that he lied to his patient, the entire American population. He should step down immediately. At this point he has no honor and no credibility.

He has been a high level bureaucrat for decades - why should we trust anything he says?
As a low level bureaucrat, I have seen some incredible stuff coming out of headquarters; it seems like heading to the DC area automatically lowers IQ.
Heading to DC doesn't lower IQ, it erodes ethics and increases the snake-in-the-grass metric.
