I rarely watch American news, so I don't really know (or care) what he's saying. That clip you shared elsewhere in the thread was a bit conservative but not incorrect nor necessarily bad advice given the scale of the current US epidemic

If you can find me a clip where the man is saying something incorrect or wildly misleading I'll happily point it out, but tbh since you're mostly just insulting me at this point there's a decent chance I won't pay attention

This is your field and you haven’t seen Fauci say incorrect and wildly misleading things over the past year? Not even one? I could send clips all day. I don’t mean to insulthttps://twitter.com/TheEliKlein/status/1372588122857467908 …

0:13Eli Klein @TheEliKleinFauci argues that people who had Covid already have “no protection” from the South African variant, like they’ve “never been infected before” An incredible lie. Reinfections by SA variant are almost always asymptomatic or mild, bc of prior infection immunity Fauci is a menace pic.twitter.com/RLY8qWpT9dShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

How many Australian news conferences have you watched this year? Imagine I watch a roughly similar number from the US

As to the "no protection" comment, definitely poorly-phrased but in the tweet below the proper context is citing a study that did indeed show substantially reduced levels of protection

It's worth noting the context as well - most coronaviruses have waning immunity after 2-5 years, and it is entirely unsurprising that we would see reinfections (and potentially reinfections at a similar level of severity) over time

Anyway, maybe this reliance on years of epidemiological evidence is just "groupthink" that I've been "indoctrinated into"

I’m not sure why all this other info is relevant. What’s relevant is Fauci’s testimony at this senate hearing. “Poorly phrased” is an incredibly subdued critique. You asked me for an example, I provided one, yet you still didn’t “happily point it out” this misleading information

The part that is misleading - that people had "no protection" is certainly worth correcting. Technically, it should be "no sterilizing protection" rather than none at all, which in context is quite clearly what he meant

I’ve been listening to Fauci speak all about these things and he’s never inferred what you just said is “clearly what he meant.” He always talks about the SA variant like people with immunity are going to be infected with a novel virus. It’s not even prevalent in the US!

Uh, it's clarified by you in the tweet below the video, where you then call the contradiction "lies". One of the issues with taking a 14-second clip as a broad position, I suspect
